Well, we can't pronounce on ALL the predictions yet, but young, white, cis-female, and conventionally attractive? I think we're there on those:

The Doctor's new companion is revealed

Who she's playing, how the Doctor meets her, and even where he finds her, are all part of one of the biggest mysteries the Time Lord ever encounters. Even by the Doctor's standards, this isn't your usual boy meets girl. - I suspect the biggest mystery the Doctor ever encounters might be overselling it a bit. And boy meets girl? REALLY? Eurgh.

I'm sure I'll be able to put up with her character, maybe even I'll like her, but it would have been nice if the opportunity had been taken to have someone a bit more different :(

I'm not touching the puffed up chest line ;)

I think this counts as an international publication. Dull as ditchwater, mind...

I can't beat that, but I'm about to be in the same magazine as... a bunch of bankers.

I've sold out, haven't I?

Isn't the correct collective noun for bankers a Wunch?

You'll be disappointed to learn that individually some of them are perfectly charming. An HSBC business manager even came to my show last week, and in the pub afterwards she was happily chatting with an 18 year old student (who's proud to have been one of the first into Millbank in the 2010 demo).

Many others deserve every bit of vitriol directed at them. Truly uncomfortable moment on the 21st floor of a Japanese bank yesterday with a client taking a moment to laugh down at the Occupy camp in Finsbury Square.
