Arthur Darvill has revealed that his character, Rory Williams, will be seen to be much more secure in the next series now that he’s finally managed to marry Amy.

“I have friends who recently got married and said in a way it’s almost like an anticlimax after the wedding,” the actor exclusively told Radio Times. “All that is slightly heightened being in the TARDIS. Now it’s like they’ve got all the wonders of the universe to explore as well. I don’t think it’s an anticlimax – for him.”

He explained: “He feels far more secure in their relationship, but it doesn’t stop them carrying on their adventures and exploring even further.”

Regarding A Christmas Carol, he teased: “This one pushes the boat out in the most wonderful way. We filmed it in July and it was very strange walking into warehouses in Cardiff where it’s snowing. All I can really say is Rory and Amy get into a lot of danger and the Doctor has to save them in a very Christmassy way.”
