Although its been speculated for a while now, and reported on by us, it has officially been confirmed to us that Arthur Darvill will be considered a full time companion from the Christmas special onwards, finally getting a screen credit for his role as Rory Williams.
Throughout the duration of series 5 of the show, Arthur was listed as a guest star for his 7 appearances. As we reported earlier this week, both companions will be travelling in the TARDIS at Christmas, with a third expected to join during series 6, but now his inclusion in the titles firmly cements his position in the show.

Great news! I would prefer to see Captain Jack over River, unless we are going to see an earlier version of her. I just worry with her being so kick ass and in control that the balance will be out in the TARDIS. Plus with Rory and Amy we already have a married couple on board who know the ropes so to speak, another newbie would fit in well.

TBH I didn't like Rory's character, he always felt like he was in the way and intrusive. As Sandi said I'd rather see the doctor, Amy and Captain Jack but heck I may yet begin to like Rory, his character just felt forced to me and when he was killed off last season I was happy that he was gone! But go on Rory, win me over

I didn't say I didn't want to see Rory, I said I'd like to see him, Amy and a new person with the doctor. I loved Rory, he's one of my favourite companions ever

Please no Captain Jack!
I think I'd like it to be River, but too much of her might overdo it. So a newbie would be cool (hopefully one who can replace Amy & Rory for season 7)

I like the sound of this. Rory is a great charcter and him and Karen (Amy) have great chemistry together. I wouldn't mind to see River as another companion, although I like how she just pops in and out of his life when she feels like, and it works well. But I trust the writers. If they want to write her in as a more permanent role, I won't mind.
