At 8am today a big explosion at the new Doctor Who Experience released various monsters into Cardiff, Newport and Swansea. An Ood, a Scarecrow, a Cyberman and a Silent. This was of course part of the press release, advertising the experience which opens on 20th July.

Press Releases

Jenna-Louise Coleman said about her audition:

"I want to get started already. I'm a huge fan of the show. Matt Smith did my audition with me. It was fun and I felt like we were in it together.

I was in Marks and Spencers holding an avocado - having the debate of what goes best in a salmon salad - when I got the call from my agent. It was kind of a bewildered excitement, confusion, "really?", oh goodness - all sorts of emotions, and I thought, after I'd hung up, I thought I really can't carry on shopping so I just put the basket down and left Marks and Spencers, and just went for a little walk and try to digest!

Steven Moffat added:

We saw a lot of brilliant actresses. But Jenna was the only person going faster than Matt - he had to keep up!"

It always seems impossible when you start casting these parts, but when we saw Matt and Jenna together, we knew we had our girl. She's funny and clever and exactly mad enough to step on board the TARDIS.

It's not often the Doctor meets someone who can talk even faster than he does, but it's about to happen. Jenna is going to lead him his merriest dance yet. And that's all you're getting for now. Who she's playing, how the Doctor meets her, and even where he finds her, are all part of one of the biggest mysteries the Time Lord ever encounters. Even by the Doctor's standards, this isn't your usual boy meets girl.

Danny Cohen BBC Controller said:

As we approach Doctor Who's 50th anniversary it's great to welcome a new companion to the TARDIS. I feel confident the Doctor will look after her in his own very unique style.

New Companion

Tomorrow morning (9am) via their twitter feed, the BBC will announce who the new companion will be. Reportedly the person is a household name. News on the recent concert in Cardiff can be read here.
