I'm just imagining them trying to write a middle-aged male companion to a female Doctor without subconsciously sliding him into the position of an authority figure, and it makes me really really really leery.

Same. I don't mind the idea of an older companion (though I really prefer the Doctor to be visibly older than the companions), but having it be a middle-aged man with a younger female Doctor is just kind of like...eh, isn't that the dynamic of most shows, where the young woman is supposedly more brilliant and yet the man still needs to explain things to her? I just don't trust them to do it right.

I'd be fine with like a much older companion, grandparent-age (*cough*BernardCribbins*cough*). Just not, dad/TV-romantic-interest age. Unless they make it cool, which maybe they will, who knows.
