When Doctor Who returns to the airwaves this season it’ll arrive not only with a brand new Doctor (the youngest actor ever to play the part… Matt Smith is only 26), but with a new companion too. The good news? She’s pretty and she can’t possibly be any more annoying than Donna Noble.
The BBC announced today that Scottish Actress Karen Gillan will be the new addition to the Tardis. She’s 21-years-old and unless you’ve followed her modeling career, she’s a complete unknown to anyone who’s not already a Doctor Who fan.
On the other hand, if your Doctor Who appetite is as voracious as mine then you saw her last season on Doctor Who in the episode “The Fires of Pompeii”, where she played a Soothsayer. No the Soothsayer isn’t hopping on board the Tardis. Gillan will likely play a new character in the Doctor Who universe.
