Posted July 20, 200916 yr http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/medialibrary/images/misc/logos/new_logo_800.jpg AMY POND - the name of his new companion played by Karen Gillan. http://www.sfx.co.uk/resources/sfx/200709Doctor%20Who.jpg Doctor Who fans have been given their first look at the new costume being worn by Matt Smith, the 11th actor to play the role. The Time Lord's new look consists of tweed jacket, bow tie, rolled up trousers and black boots. Filming on the new episodes begins on Monday in Cardiff, with the new series going out in spring 2010. Smith is taking over from David Tennant, whose last episodes will be shown at the end of the year. "I feel very privileged and proud to be part of this iconic show," Smith said after arriving on set for his first day of filming. 'Come alive' "The scripts are brilliant - I'm excited about the future and all the brilliant adventures I get to go on as the Doctor." The Doctor will also have a new companion - Amy Pond - played by Karen Gillan, who meets the Time Lord in episode one of the new series. .
July 20, 200916 yr Author :rofl: I bet you can! Well her name, like his outfit is all very underwhelming. I'm dreading it more and more now. Steven better have some cracking stories lined up.
July 20, 200916 yr What a dreadfulful name for a companion :nocheer:. The jacket is better than her name :kink:
July 20, 200916 yr Author Of course. Without this show there would be no Torchwood so dont rubbish it too much :P Doctor Who caters for kids too so of course it cant go to the level TW can but when Doctor Who does a story well its fab.
July 20, 200916 yr The show has never been about being 'taken seriously' and it gets to me when people say stuff like that. The original series had a reputation for employing super-crap, cheap special effects which looked like they might cripple if you poked your TV screen! 'Serious' TV it ain't! http://bowmanworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/karen_gillan_01_480.jpg I've never seen her in anything so, unlike most of the Doctor Who fans on here, I think I'll actually, you know, reserve judgement until I've seen her portrayal of this Pond character, God forbid.
July 20, 200916 yr Author Don't think anyones saying anything bad about Karen :blink: In fact I've read nothing but compliments for her recently - and she looks fab in the pics. I just dont like the outfit Matts wearing and "Amy Pond" is a bit dry but hardly end of the world :P I have faith in Steven though so I'm sure his stories will be as amazing as ever.
July 20, 200916 yr I remember thinking Billie Piper acting well Doctor Who is going to be rubbish then but it wasn't she was really good. And when David did his bit at the end of series one I thought well i'm not going to like him and he turned out really well. So i am not going to judge a book on it's cover and wait to see the first episode with Matt in. I'm quite looking forward to it actually.
July 20, 200916 yr Don't think anyones saying anything bad about Karen :blink: In fact I've read nothing but compliments for her recently - and she looks fab in the pics. I was being a bit premature really, but I was referring to the fairly certain onslaught from the 'older crowd' who always criticise everything and everyone that becomes a part of Who before they've ever seen it on the TV.

Ahh :heehee: yes I know what you mean. Oh well their loss at the end of the day. I LOVE Torchwood but guarantee DW will be around a long time after TW has had its day!
July 20, 200916 yr Author Some more pics - and the new Tardis - not inside sadly - but its all brand new for HD :cheer: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_KTJWhtuRLac/SmRdwYb-c4I/AAAAAAAAH_k/dVZrQ5c7_TI/s5filming1.jpg http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_KTJWhtuRLac/SmRdwtGx23I/AAAAAAAAH_s/CM4THSZBXWI/s5filming2.jpg http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KTJWhtuRLac/SmRammPK3nI/AAAAAAAAH_c/vdGDu467KGA/s5filming.jpg
July 20, 200916 yr Author Ahem, what may be a BIG spoiler here for episode 1: Alex Kingston is on set!! River Song from Stevens library episodes!! :o River...Amy Pond...oh we need a Stream now :heart:
July 20, 200916 yr Is Alex Kingston in it? She's a RUBBISH actor LOL. I'm properly excited about seeing what Matt Smith is like in the role. He was SO good in Party Animals.
July 20, 200916 yr Amy Pond? My enthuiasm for this continues to decrease. Im exited to see what the new actress is like though, not seen her in anything before. Good to hear Alex will be back!!
July 20, 200916 yr Author http://images.digitalspy.co.uk/09/30/550w_doctor_who_smith_kingston.jpg "Alex Kingston will be returning to Doctor Who in the new series featuring Matt Smith. Viewers will have to wait and see who she plays and how her character fits into the series."
July 20, 200916 yr "Viewers will have to wait and see who she plays and how her character fits into the series." As if she will be anything other than River Song. :lol: Amy Pond is a terrible name but the actress looks great. Not liking the new Doctor's outfit at all. Edited July 20, 200916 yr by Rain
