Doctor Who returns April 12 .

It's the first full-on 21st century iteration of an ancient Doctor Who trope without fully locking in a reason to care about her in the first place.

Verada Sethu plays Belinda Chandra , a reluctant, accidentally-kidnapped companion.

The "accidentally kidnapped companion" concept isn't new.

It goes back to the very first episode of Doctor Who in 1963 .

Davies has given himself a mountain to climb here with a companion who rejects all Doctor Who tropes.

The companion doesn't just want out of the TARDIS , but she wants out.
