Behind the Scenes
- Prior to this announcement, there were reports circulating that the character of Amy Pond would be an alien and that the actress would be covered in prosthetic makeup. In fact, this was simply a joke blog entry posted by the Doctor Who Information Network, based in Canada. [2]
- Details about Amy's character and background have yet to be revealed. Photographs published in the media during filming of the character's first episode show her wearing some form of police uniform (whether this is an actual police uniform or a costume is unknown).[3] The first official preview of Series 5 issued by the BBC shows Amy chasing after the Doctor wearing the police uniform described above. There is also a quick shot that shows Amy kissing the Doctor. The Sun newspaper reported that Amy will be a kissogram, and that the police uniform is a costume as part of that job. [4]
- Amy is the second consecutive TV companion to have red hair. This fact was noted by the BBC when it issued a statement in response to the so-called 'Ginger controversy' that erupted in early January 2010 due to misinterpretation of a statement made by the Eleventh Doctor after his regeneration.[5]
- Amy Pond is the second character with an aquatic-sounding name to be created by showrunner Steven Moffat following River Song.
- In a recent interview, Karen Gillan described her character as a "Scottish girl in an English village". She also mentioned that Amy "has no parents"; whether this means she is an orphan or something else entirely has yet to be revealed. [4]
