The new companion has been revealed....

After months of specualtion as to who was going to be cast alongside Matt Smith in 'Doctor Who', during which names such as Lily Allen, Kelly Brook, Olivia Hallinan and Hannah Murray were suggested as possible candidates, the BBC can now reveal that the actress is 21 year-old Karen Gillan, who previously had a tiny role in "The Fires Of Pompeii". It has yet to be established what character she will be playing. I'll keep you posted on that. Whilst I wish that Rachel Shenton had been considered, I am pleased that the role has gone to an unknown. This will launch Gillan's career, and no mistake!
