Karen Gillan Interview in the Telegraph

Karen Gillan was interviewed in the previous issue of Telegraph, where she spoke about everything Who, what Matt Smiths involvement is in the series and trailers, and what she wants to achieve from Doctor Who.

“I ask if there’s an actor whose career she particularly admires. Her answer is refreshingly offbeat. 'Robin Williams. I want a career like his! I want to be like Robin Williams, really. It’s all the different characters he does, all the different voices.’ What about actresses? 'You know whose career I really liked? Brittany Murphy. I thought she played quite interesting characters. She was in Girl Interrupted, and in 8 Mile she had this griminess to her, this edge, which I quite liked.’

Is Gillan yearning for edgier roles? Compared to Doctors, companions can have short shelf-lives – there have even been hints that Amy Pond is to be killed off, as a mid-series cliffhanger. She says she would like to do theatre, either contemporary 'or something really bizarre like Eugène Ionesco’.

Matt Smith recently veered off-piste to play Christopher Isherwood in a BBC Two drama, to much acclaim. Gillan will shortly play Jean Shrimpton for the BBC Four film We’ll Take Manhattan about the 1960s style icon’s first encounter with David Bailey, at a Vogue photo-shoot in New York. Miniskirts and it-girls? It’s not very Robin Williams, but if anyone can pull it off Karen Gillan can. Those character parts may have to wait.”

Moffat Previews Series 6

Steven Moffat talked to Radio Times and told us a few things about what to expect this series, so check them out bellow.

On Series 6 overall:

The Silence, the unseen enemy who blew up his TARDIS last year, have laid deeper plans and set the deadliest trap of all – one that has been ticking away in the Doctor’s life for longer than anyone knows.
Newlyweds Amy and Rory are caught up in a century-spanning scheme, and somewhere out there, in a storm-lashed prison, River Song is getting ready to tell the Doctor something that will change his life for ever.
By Lake Silencio, on the Plain of Sighs, a story will begin and end. A good man is going to die, an impossible life will begin, and our heroes will set out on the long road to the deadliest secret in the universe – and when it stares you in the face, you might just discover you’ve known about it all along.

On The Doctor’s Wife:

“Fear me – I’ve killed hundreds of Time Lords,” “Fear me – I’ve killed all of them.” Remember those lines from the trailer? Well this is [the episode] they come from.

On The Rebel Flesh and The Almost People:

“[A story about] an alien shape-changer and an industrial dispute. It’s The Thing meets Made In Dagenham.”

On A Good Man Goes to War:

“Want to find the most dangerous place in the universe? Easy. Harm a hair on Amy’s head and just wait. But as the last of the Time Lords and the Lone Centurion blaze across galaxies to save the woman in both their lives, history is unfolding. In her cell, in Stormcage, River Song knows the time has come at last. She has a secret and this is the day she tells it. The battle of Demons Run has begun and the Doctor’s darkest hour is now.”

Matt Smith & Karen Gillan Talk to MTV

Karen Gillan Talks to MTV Geek

Karen Gillan talks to MTV Geek telling them that Rory is the one for Amy,

"Rory is the one for Amy. She just didn't realize it at the time...Amy with the Doctor, what would that be like? She's just as mad as he is!"

Karen Gillan admits that there are moments between her and the Doctor (Matt Smith),

"She does love him in a way...but more than in a romantic way. There's a really deep connection between two people that's hard to define. Because sometimes they're like brother and sister, and sometimes she might hit on him...and sometimes she acts like his mum, and he's a child, and vice-versa. There's so many layers to their relationship, and it's quite undefinable...but we're going to see it defined in the new series, definitely."

She also gives us a preview of what is going to happen this season,

"...something's going to happen to do with the marriage (between Amy and Rory) that's going to change the course of everything in this series, and it's going to get very dark..."

MTV Geek Talk to Matt Smith

Read the interview Matt Smith had with MTV Geek where he talks about the upcoming series of Doctor Who.


On the relationship between Amy Pond and The Doctor:
"The Doctor will always love Amy, but he loves her the way you would a friend, a best friend."

"I think the Doctor loves Amy Pond, he's capable of loving people, but he's an alien...he doesn't see love in the conventional way we see it."

On the new villain, The Silence:
"I think The Silence is one of the greatest monsters in Who history!"

On the essential quality of what makes Doctor Who great:
"The great thing about Doctor Who is that you can jump into Episode 6 of Season 6, and the fundamental storytelling is the same: a madman comes along and saves the day with a toaster and a piece of string."

On the uniqueness of the Doctor role:
"It's a bit like Hamlet: every actor has a different version."

On returning for Season Seven:
"I don't know, I'm going to sit down and see with Mr. Moffat what happens after this particular season. I'd certainly like to come back, but…we have to wait and see I guess. Watch this space."

On reaching out to American audiences:
"We really think that Doctor Who is a universal idea -- so we hope that people in the States pick it up and enjoy it!"
