In the end I sort of though we created a companion who was so alive and dynamic and so wedded to the doctor that youโd need a whole universe to contain her in. The only way to get rid of her is to send her into a parallel world from which she can never return; otherwise she would stay with the doctor forever.

Russell T DaviesDrama's not safe and it's not pretty and it's not kind.
