Karen Gillan has offered new Doctor Who companion Millie Gibson some advice as she joins the BBC sci-fi show.
The Inverness-born actress, 35, played Amy Pond on the popular TV series alongside Matt Smith as the 11th Doctor and Arthur Darvill, who played her on-screen husband Rory. The Scots actress, who is currently promoting the third and final instalment of Guardians of the Galaxy, left the BBC series in 2013 but has remained a firm fan-favourite.
Coronation Street actress Millie, 18, was announced as Doctor Who companion Ruby Sunday last year alongside Ncuti Gatwa as the next incantation of the Time Lord.
Over a decade on from her Doctor Who exit, Karen has offered some simple advice to newcomer Millie. "I think just enjoy it," she told Radio Times. "Your life's about to turn upside down, but it's... you know, just make sure that you keep all of your people around you and your support system and just enjoy it."
She added: "It is the most exciting thing to go on adventures with the Doctor in the TARDIS. It's like the best thing ever!"
This comes after Karen previously discussed a return to the BBC series, and refused to rule out the possibility. She said: "It's always nice when people appreciate anything that you've done. But no, it's cool to see that people are still intrigued by Amy Pond and whether she could return. Maybe, maybe not – I don't know!”
Scots-Rwandan actor Ncuti Gatwa has been confirmed as the 15th doctor and was spotted filming the show in Bristol. Ncuti, 30, will be taking over the Tardis once Doctor Who fans say goodbye to David Tennant again after the 60th Anniversary Special.

The Doctor Who universe is expanding!
Naman Ramachandran “Game of Thrones” actor Indira Varma is joining the new series of “Doctor Who.” She will be seen as the Duchess, described by the BBC as a “mysterious new role.” Varma was previously part of the “Doctor Who” universe as Suzie Costello in Russell T Davies’ spin-off series “Torchwood.” Varma’s recent roles include Netflix show “Obsession” and Disney+’s Star Wars franchise series “Obi-Wan Kenobi.” She won an Olivier for her role in “Present Laughter.” “Doctor Who” began in 1963 and follows the adventures of a Time Lord known as The Doctor, an extraterrestrial being with a human appearance. The Doctor travels the universe in a time-travelling spaceship called the Tardis.
Game of Thrones star Indira Varma is the latest big name to join the regenerated Doctor Who.
Naman Ramachandran “Doctor Who” star Jodie Whittaker will lead a short film fund aimed at championing female and non-binary filmmakers. The Empower fund, a community-led initiative backed by Primetime, a global vetted platform to help the industry find and hire more women above and below the line behind the camera, and Bournemouth Film School, was launched at the Cannes film market. It aims to remove the barriers of access to finance and star power that restrict underrepresented filmmakers. The fund will focus on championing female and non-binary filmmakers and grant them access to a minimum of a £10,000 ($12,430) grant in addition to other perks. Whittaker will feature in or voice the final film, with the intention of increasing the visibility of the project and the filmmaker selected. The actor will also collaborate to create a prompt for filmmakers as a starting point for a character or story she would like to explore. There will be a focus on accessibility and reaching filmmakers who might not traditionally put themselves forward for grant funding. A brief will then be distributed and U.K.-based female and non-binary filmmakers will be encouraged to submit their short film project for consideration. Five projects will be shortlisted via an industry jury, and from that Whittaker will select the live action or animation film she would like to take part in or voice.
