Confirmation?

Of the new companion's name in this previous entry?



From the Mirror:

The new Doctor Who's companion is going to be called Amy and (drumroll, please) she'll have a Scottish accent!

Played by the lovely Karen Gillan, Amy will be assisting David Tennant's successor Matt Smith - who I reckon is going to be fantastic as the new Time Lord.

Rumours abound that there'll be some hot chemistry between them, just as there was with Rose and David's Doctor.

Steven Moffat, who's taking over from Russell T Davies as the show's boss, is a huge fan of the 21-year-old. He says she's "funny and clever and gorgeous and sexy.

"Or Scottish, which is the quick way of saying it." (He is, too.)

My on-set spy whispers: "Karen's Scottish so it seems reasonable she keeps her accent, even though David didn't."

The first picture of the pair in time-travelling regalia will be revealed on Tuesday... because filming on the new series starts on Monday.

Was anyone's guess close?

Wow, betcha that person on Fandom Secrets is going to be PISSED.

I'm confuzzled. And obviously don't read Fandom Secrets.

Unless he pulls something out of his ass and she is, in fact, a secret space princess.

Make that a Scottish secret space princess. *grins*

It's a community that riffs on Post Secrets. Basically people make pasteups/macros and post them to the community, and they're strictly on fandom topics.

The recent one a friend had posted about was a large postcard-size-and-shaped cropped picture of Karen Gillan with the TARDIS proclaiming in all-caps that if this companion turned out to be another normal girl from 21st century Earth they were going to stop watching the show.

LOTS of places have a Scotland! Errr...
