Karen Gillan talks about the end of Amy Pond, Matt Smith on the Silence, and the announcement of the series 6 soundtrack CD...
Given that we’re still over a month away from seeing a new episode of Doctor Who, there’s still quite a lot of chatter about the show around at the moment. So here’s our latest round-up.
First and foremost, Karen Gillan has given an interview to the Daily Mirror, where she’s revealed that she thinks that Amy Pond should, ultimately, be killed off. Before anyone gets carried away, she doesn’t mean killed off right now, rather that, in the words of Gillan, “once she’s gone, she’s gone”.
She added that “I want people to remember the Amy Pond era as a good one”. “Death would be an option,” she admitted. “I don’t want Amy to pop up again every so often, because for me it would take away from the big, emotional goodbye”.
Blimey. Is Amy Pond going to be the next Adric? Russell T Davies pulled back from killing an assistant off when he had the chance (although he arguably never intended to), but what about Steven Moffat? That’d be a bit of a shake up for the show’s 50th birthday in 2013.
Gillan also appeared on Graham Norton’s Radio 2 show over the weekend, and was talking about returning to Doctor Who. “I think that’s all up in the air at the moment”, she said. “I know that I’m gonna be coming back but I’m not sure when”. Hmmm, intriguing…
Elsewhere, Silva Screen has confirmed that it’ll be releasing Murray Gold’s soundtrack to Doctor Who series 6. It’ll be a two disc set, which will be on sale from 5th December.
Finally, in a Press Association piece, Matt Smith has argued that The Silence are one of the best monsters of recent times. “They are certainly some of the scariest”, he said. “They look horrendous and really mean. So if you’re under the age of ten, a good sofa to hide behind is essential”.
