"Doctor Who exec Steven Moffat has suggested that the Time Lord&amp;#039;s companion is the show&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;main character&amp;quot;. The showrunner told BBC America that the story of the sci-fi drama is &amp;quot;always the story of the companion&amp;quot;.   &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s always their story,&amp;quot; said Moffat. &amp;quot;It was Rose Tyler&amp;#039;s (Billie Piper) story, it&amp;#039;s Amy Pond&amp;#039;s (Karen Gillan) story - the story of the time they knew the Doctor and how that began, how it developed and how it ended.&amp;quot; He continued: &amp;quot;The story begins again, not so much with the new Doctor, but with the new companion. The Doctor&amp;#039;s the hero, but they&amp;#039;re the main character.&amp;quot; Moffat also described the idea of the Doctor (Matt Smith) travelling alone as &amp;quot;depressing&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;unhealthy&amp;quot;. &amp;quot;I thought about the Doctor travelling on his own and it always faintly depresses me,&amp;quot; he admitted.  &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m not sure what he does on his own but I don&amp;#039;t think it would be healthy. He&amp;#039;s far too old and he&amp;#039;s seen too much.&amp;quot; New Doctor Who companion Jenna-Louise Coleman was unveiled to the public last month.
