Amy Pond Radio Times posted this article, which Karen Gillian speaks about playing Amy Pond alongside Jodie Whittaker as the Thirteenth Doctor. Now, I love Amy Pond and she is rather interesting companion. The fact that the Doctor land in her backyard after regenerating is a twist that I never saw coming.
