The New Who Yearbook

 Posted by Kim and Sage

Ten years ago today, the Ninth Doctor grabbed Rose Tyler’s hand and told her to run for her life.  For those who had grown up with the classic series, it was a thrilling new beginning.  For those of us who had never heard of this time traveling alien in a big blue box, discovering the adventures of the Doctor and his companions was life changing.  So how do you celebrate this momentous occasion?  If you’re us, you imagine a ten year high school reunion and then you make a yearbook of all the modern Doctors and their companions and friends, of course.   If all of these characters went to high school together, who would have been the class clown? Prom Queen?  Most likely to succeed?  Read on to find out!  You’re getting a serious look at our head canons here…
