Imagine day one on the set of Doctor Who. It must be nerve-wracking stepping into the shoes of Jenna Coleman!

Well, Pearl Mackie, who plays the Doctor's new companion, had a special gift when the new series started filming on Monday.

She got a beautiful bouquet of flowers from Jenna Coleman, who played the Doctor's former companion Clara Oswald.

Pearl tweeted her thanks to Jenna for the gift, saying: "From one companion to another."
