He was the first companion, after over 50 years, to be visibly older than their Doctor. That's just amazing to me.

Anyway, I wouldn't say he carried it, but he was definitely the most interesting of the three. Tended to be given the funniest lines which helped. He's possibly the first companion since Ben and Polly who genuinely feels like a real person, from beginning to end. Maybe apart from Martha.

He was definitely a highlight.

Tbh, would've much preferred if the S11 Team TARDIS was just 13 and him. They have better chemistry and work off each other more. Graham's adventures with the Doctor help him through his grief and bring him back from dark places

I'm...in two minds. On the one hand, good to have an older character in a leading role.

But with Bradley...the guy's on British TV every single day of the year.

@Kevin 'Chalky' Kaiba Someone that almost everybody in the audience knows, he's pretty much the perfect casting as someone who's meant to be relatable. But I guess he could come under "distracting" if people can only see him as Bradley Walsh rather than a character. But he is a fantastic actor.

I’d never heard of him before he was in Doctor Who.

@Icecreamdif I should have specified the UK audience. If you are in the UK, then that's amazing.

I’m not in the UK. I guess he was never in anything else that got significant international attention.

@Icecreamdif As an actor he's probably still best known for the UK version of Law & Order. Which, I've just discovered, was partly written and produced by Chris Chibnall. And had Freema Agyeman and Peter Davison in it. It's a bonanza of Who stars over here.

He's alright.
