Comic Con: Matt reveals losing Amy’s “a real blow”

Matt Smith has revealed that losing Amy Pond will come as “a real blow” for the Doctor.
Speaking to IGN at Comic Con, the actor said: “He’s done it before. He’s had many companions. For this Doctor, losing Amy Pond is a real blow. As an actor too, and as a friend, to not have Karen and Arthur around. I love them and we’ve become firm friends. But the show is about change and you have got to move on. Jenna is doing a fantastic job and I think everyone will love her.”
Watch the full the interview in the player below, in which Matt also discusses Episode 3 of the Series 7, entitled A Town Called Mercy, promising “everything you want out of a Western but with aliens”. Well, this is Doctor Who after all – it’s what we expect, right?
