The Bells of Saint John was the modern day Clara’s first
proper episode with the Doctor and there is something really special about the
chemistry between Matt Smith’s Doctor and Jenna-Louise Coleman as Clara Oswald.
The Doctor’s relationships differ from series to series and Doctor to Doctor
and that is one of the most interesting things about Doctor Who, the iconic
science fiction show isn’t just about monsters and danger, it is also about
people, nature and compassion.
There is no denying that seeing Matt Smith with a companion
other than Amy and Rory stirred up the audience and probably caused a few
raised eyebrows but Clara is so different and refreshing that you’d be hard
pushed to resist her charms. The Doctor definitely isn’t able to. The Doctor
adored Amy, he doted on her and he cared for her and he did everything in his
power to keep her safe sometimes at the expense of Rory and other people who
they come into contact with, their relationship is almost paternal in its
nature and Amy’s admiration of the Doctor is contagious, childlike and a little
sad.
