Doctor Who – 10 Companions Younger Than Karen Gillan
With the news that a 21 year old is to accompany Matt Smith in the TARDIS next year causing uproar, Cameron takes a trip down memory lane.

You would think that Doctor Who is watched solely by OAPs who can’t stand the sight of purty young things traveling in time and space the way that some ‘people’ go on. Yes, Matt Smith is young but he’s only a couple of years younger than Peter Davison was back in the day. And now Karen Gillan. She’s young too but there are many others who have battled monsters and such who would be more readily ID’d at their supermarket for booze than she would. It should also be noted that both Billie Piper and Bonnie Langford were just a few months older than Gillan is now when they started on Doctor Who but did people complain then? Uh oh, I see they did. Oh well. (Please note: the ages supplied in brackets are the age that the actress or actor was when they started filming.)
