Gillan Takes Manhattan

Doctor Who star Karen Gillan will play the lead role in a new BBC Four drama. The actress will star as real-life supermodel Jean Shrimpton in 90-minute one-off We'll Take Manhattan.

The project, set primarily in 1962, will focus on the love affair between Shrimpton and British Vogue photographer David Bailey. It is currently unknown who will play Bailey.


"Jean Shrimpton is an icon of the '60s and I am so excited to be playing somebody who had such a lasting impact on the fashion world," said Gillan. "I can't wait to take on the challenge of bringing Jean and Bailey's fascinating love story to life."

In addition to her Doctor Who role, the actress has appeared on The Kevin Bishop Show and in episodes of Rebus and Harley Street. She will also star in David Baddiel's upcoming movie project Romeo and Brittney.

Filming on We'll Take Manhattan, which is being produced by Kudos Film and Television, will begin in May.

Gillan will next be seen reprising her role as Amy Pond in the sixth series of Doctor Who, which begins on BBC One next month.

Doctor Who S05E05

I don't know why, I have no idea, but quite possibly the single most important thing in the history of the universe is that I get you sorted out right now...

The BBC has received a number of complaints about the latest episode of Doctor Who. According to the Daily Mail, 43 people contacted the organisation complaining about an "overtly sexy scene" in the last show. While Amy Pond’s revealing outfits have left fans in no doubt that she is the sexiest Doctor Who companion in the history of the drama, writes the Telegraph's Roya Nikkhah, on Saturday night she appeared in a risqué scene, apparently forcing herself on the Time Lord. Played by the actress Karen Gillan, Amy is seen kissing the doctor, played by Matt Smith, as he is backed up against the side of his Tardis in her bedroom. She even tells him that she doesn’t mind if it is a just a one-night-stand, despite the fact he has already spurned her advances on a bed.

Wearing the trademark mini skirt, Amy attempts to undress the Doctor, who briefly responds when she kisses him before pushing her away. Amy also jokes about how long it is since the 907-year-old Time Lord last had sex, making suggestive innuendoes and provocatively lying down on the bed in front of him. The heated moment occurs when the red-head takes the Doctor back home with her when the Tardis touches down once again on the night before her wedding. Amy then produces the wedding ring that she planned to wear before she fled with the Time Lord.

Soon it becomes clear that Amy, who had been working as a kissogram, wants to do more than just talk as she begins flirting with him. Amy declares that fighting off the evil Weeping Angels, which feature in the episode, has made her think about her life. She says: "About what I want. About who I want. You know what I mean." When Dr Who does not respond, she says: "Doctor in a word. In one very simple word even you can understand...," before jumping on top of him on the bed.

Pushing her away, the Doctor says: "You’re getting married in the morning." But Amy replies: "Well, the morning is a long time away. What are you going to do about that?" The stunned Doctor makes his escape to the other side of the room where the Tardis is parked, telling his companion: "Amy listen to me I am 907 years old do you understand what that means?" She responds: "It’s been a while." When he tells her that the relationship could never work, she replies: "You are sweet doctor, but I really wasn’t suggesting anything quite so long term." She then kisses him passionately.

As if he has come to some revelation, the Doctor says: "I don’t know why, I have no idea, but quite possibly the single most important thing in the history of the universe is that I get you sorted out right now?" In what will be seen as a clear innuendo, Amy replies: "That’s what I have been trying to tell you." It is unclear if during the scene, she is acting out of character as part of a wider plot. When Rose Tyler, played by Billie Piper, attempted to seduce the Doctor and kissed him in 2006 it was revealed that her body had been taken over by the villain Cassandra.

Doctor Who S05E03

Have you ever fancied someone you shouldn't?

So week 3 of the new series of Doctor Who and it’s still all about her, really, isn’t it? Amy Pond. Amelia Pond. Karen Gillan. The Doctor’s new assistant. A 5ft 11in Amazonian goddess with Titian hair, girl-cat eyes and legs from here to yaya. You can rack up all the super-intellectual 900-year-old time-travellers you want — in the end, they won’t hold a candle to a tamale-hot giantess with freckles and an attitude.

At 19, Pond has already worn out four psychoanalysts, handcuffed a Time Lord to a radiator while dressed as a sexy cop kissagram, and embarked on what will be, in perpetuity, the high-water mark for hen nights: the day before her wedding, Pond has climbed into the Tardis and has gone racketing across all of space-time, while still in her nightie. As Gillan is already signed up for the next series, that’s one hell of a prenuptial knees-up. It certainly puts doing karaoke’n’shots in Brighton with “The Girls” into perspective.

Last week Pond, in slippers and winceyette, was on her first alien vessel, in the year 3120. This week, in cowboy boots and a mini skirt, she's making Winston Churchill's eyes pop in the Cabinet War Rooms of WWII London. As both episodes unfolded along all the right adjectives — witty, tearful, scary, deftly moral — you noted that, on the whole, Matt Smith’s Doctor is still hanging back. There are none of the David Tennant James Bond/Geek Christ hero-shots we’d got so used to. No resurrecting from fire, ash or rubble. No — the Eleventh Doctor is focusing on a Troughton-like eccentricity instead. With hands so large they look like foam-rubber ones, and a jacket of quietly sexy tweed, he’s manifesting the air of a man who could either, a) save the imploding Universe, or, b) do a legendary Gold Run on Blockbusters, with a gonk Dalek as mascot, and isn’t fussed which, really.

This withholding is all presumably to allow space for the establishing of a new landscape — before all hell breaks loose later in the series, as it invariably does. This time around, cracks are appearing in the Universe. Cracks in the Universe rarely bode well in terms of the Doctor’s “me” time. He probably isn’t going to get to finish that 20,000-piece double-sided jigsaw before the season finale. At some point, this Doctor will have to rise, magnificently, to the occasion, and you suspect, on the evidence so far, he will.

But, in the meantime, at the start of its run, the show has other fish to fry. Right now, it’s the image of Amy Pond — dreamily floating in space, pillowed on Technicolor hair, with the Doctor holding on to her ankle, flying her like a kite — that still resonates the most.

Doctor Who S05E02

In bed above, we're deep asleep, while greater love lies further deep. This dream must end, this world must know. We all depend on the Beast Below...

Doctor Who's famous regenerations were modelled on bad LSD trips, a long-suppressed internal BBC memo reveals. Documents published for the first time describe how the Doctor's occasional transformations were supposed to convey the "hell and dank horror" of the hallucinogenic drug.

Regenerations were introduced in 1966 to allow programme bosses to replace the lead actor and write the new face into the show's plot. In an internal memo dating from that year, producers outlined how the original Doctor, William Hartnell, would be transformed for his successor Patrick Troughton. It also tackled the ''horrifying experience'' of the regeneration.

"The metaphysical change ... is a horrifying experience - an experience in which he relives some of the most unendurable moments of his long life, including the galactic war. It is as if he has had the L.S.D. drug and instead of experiencing the kicks, he has the hell and dank horror which can be its effect," the memo says.

Discussing his appearance, the document says: "His hair is wild and his clothes look rather worse for wear (this is a legacy from the metaphysical change which took place in the Tardis)." The memos are part of a batch of documents which have been published online today as part of the BBC Archive.

The BBC1 series recently saw the 11th actor take on the lead role when Matt Smith replaced David Tennant. During that process, the new Doctor embarked on an altogether more agreeable LSD trip in the shape of Licentious Scottish Damsel Karen Gillan. The Daily Mail gleefully reports that although she might have been branded 'too sexy' by some critics, the new assistant, has no intention of fading into the background. In this week's episode of the sci-fi show, The Beast Below, the Doctor and his flame-haired companion are seen soaking wet, with their clothes stuck to their bodies, as they battle the mysterious 'beast'.

Doctor Who S05E01

The return of Doctor Who to television screens on Saturday night has led to a host of complaints and comments on online message boards that it is 'too sexy'. The first show of the new series, broadcast on Saturday, featured a kissogram, a naked Doctor and a "sexed up" Tardis. During the special 65-minute episode, The Eleventh Hour, in which Doctor Who had 20 minutes to save Earth from aliens known as the Atraxi, his new companion, Amy Pond, was revealed as a kissogram dressed in a skimpy policeman’s outfit, complete with mini-skirt and handcuffs.

In one scene, Amy, played by the actress Karen Gillan, told the Doctor that her kissogram repertoire also included nuns and nurses’ outfits. In another, she watched as the Doctor completely undressed in front of her, before donning his new outfit of a tweed suit and bow tie. As he stripped, Amy’s fiancé, Rory, asked: "Aren’t you going to turn your back?" to which she replied, "no", while running her eyes over the naked Doctor. For the viewer, however, the Doctor’s physique was left to the imagination, with only a glimpse of his torso shown on screen.

Writing about Amy, one viewer in an online forum asked: 'Why did she dress up as a tarty policewoman? Surely that's not fitting for a family show.' Another said: "They've completely demeaned Doctor Who by replacing good episode stories with slutty girls."


But Miss Gillan defended the decision to dress in a mini skirt, saying: 'I tried on different things and when it came to the short skirts, I just thought it was right. I mean, look down most high streets and girls Amy's age wear that. It's not that weird. Short skirts show that Amy is confident and comfortable about her look. You have to have confidence to wear something like that."

Even the Tardis had a racy revamp, newly equipped with a walk-in wardrobe and swimming pool. Upon seeing the interior of his updated time machine, the Doctor declared: "Oh, you sexy thing."

Piers Wenger, the executive producer of Dr Who, said that Steven Moffat, the series’ new script writer, wanted a “sexy” new companion for the Doctor. He said: "The whole kissogram thing played into Steven’s desire for the companion to be feisty and outspoken and a bit of a number. Amy is probably the wildest companion that the Doctor has travelled with, but she isn’t promiscuous. She is really a two-man woman and that will become clear over the course of the episodes. Sci-fi has a long and happy history of sexy female characters and long may that continue."
