From the show's Official Facebook page! 

Today, Cardiff was lucky enough to play host to the first official “Doctor Who” Convention. Matt Smith attended for a special panel along with fellow stars Arthur Darvill and Scottish born Karen Gillan who plays Amy Pond in the series. As well as the panel other highlights of the convention included workshops, autograph signings and memorabilia. Fans were desperate for information on the upcoming series and were informed by The Doctor himself (Matt Smith) that the Weeping Angels were due to make an appearance!

However, attention soon drifted to the impending departure of Karen Gillan, The Doctor’s assistant, and her on-screen husband Rory. According to the Daily Record: Steven Moffat (a writer for the Nation’s treasured TV show) described their exit as a “heartbreaking” storyline. Gillan, from Inverness, has had a staring role for the last two series and grew massively popular with fans, although her character has received some criticism for her “sexy demeanour.” It was also reported that she will be replaced by Emmerdale actress: Jenna-Louise Coleman. But no matter how good her replacement turns out to be, the Scottish redhead will be greatly missed after having such a strong impact on the show and their dedicated fan base.

For any “Doctor Who” fans the official twitter page just announced that the latest season’s teaser trailer will go online on Monday!

The former model is moving on from the series with her latest role in the TV movie “We’ll Take Manhattan.” The film was broadcast on the BBC on the 15^th of February 2012. Karen plays the role of unknown model Jean Shrimpton, who is sent away with photographer David Bailey (Aneurin Barnard) to do a photo shoot in New York. But of course it isn’t that simple, the movie features a wild week of love affairs, fights and drama. The story revolves around how the pair inadvertently manage to change the world of fashion forever.
