Karen Gillian, a relatively unknown actress has been penned to star alongside the newest Time Lord Matt Smith, in the new series of Doctor Who.
The 21-year-old, who has already appeared in the British series as a Soothsayer in ‘The Fires Of Pompeii’, says she is “absolutely over the moon at being chosen to play the doctor's new companion - I just can't wait to get started,"
"The show is such a massive phenomenon that I can't quite believe I am going to be a part of it."
"Matt Smith is an incredible actor and it is going to be so much fun to act alongside him," she said.
Steven Moffat, writer and executive producer of the series, describes the young Scottish actress as "Funny, and clever, and gorgeous, and sexy," and the perfect person for the role when the “Doctor” returns in 2010.
“A generation of little girls will want to be her and a generation of little boys will want them to be her too."
