Happy birthday wishes go out today to actress Karen Gillan, who will be introduced to the world as the Eleventh Doctor’s companion, Amy Pond, when the long-awaited fifth series of Doctor Who hits our screens next Spring!

Gillan previously appeared as a soothsayer in the Series 4 story, The Fires of Pompeii, and you may also recognise her from Channel 4’s The Kevin Bishop Show, or her modelling work.

Please join all of us here at WhovianNet in wishing Karen a fantastic 22nd birthday, and we’d also like to wish her the best of luck as filming for Series 5 continues in and around Cardiff! Cheers to you, Karen!
