purplecat: Drawing of the Seventh Doctor (Who:Seven)

Ray from the Doctor Who episode Delta and the Bannermen.  Head shot of her in biker jacket, holding a gun.

Ray is a companion that never was. The production team have explicitly said they were choosing between her and Ace as the next companion. While Ace was amazing, I often think Ray would have been great as well, bringing more of a mechanical mindset to the companion role than Ace's more warrior-like character (even though Ray is holding a gun in the above publicity still).

Oh yeah, the mechanical minded would have been interesting.

I think Sophie Aldred originally auditioned for Ray, so it's possible that if Ray was the companion she'd still have been played by Sophie, with someone else playing Ace in the next story.

I like Ray, and Delta and the Bannermen generally.
