Welcome Back to the Whoniverse!

Okay, folks, here’s the deal: the universe of Doctor Who is a lot like that old Hotel California song – you can check out any time you like, but geez, you can never really escape! Former cast members are like boomerangs; they keep coming back for anniversary specials, guest appearances, and even spin-offs that expand the ever-exciting narratives of their past roles. And let’s not forget the conventions where fans just can’t stop reminiscing about their time traveling adventures in the TARDIS. It’s what makes being a part of this franchise feel like one big, quirky family!

Meet the Dynamic Duo

So, what’s the latest news from this galactic playground? Well, grab your sonic screwdrivers because former companions Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill are joining forces once again! They’re launching a brand new podcast called “The Pondcast,” where they’ll be diving deep into their experiences on the show; it’s like a TARDIS time machine for your ears!

Reflections and Revelations

Now, you’ve probably seen these two as the unforgettable duo Amy and Rory Pond – the couple who mastered the art of time travel and the fine art of dodging dinosaurs. During their two-and-a-half season stint with Matt Smith’s Eleventh Doctor, they delivered everything from laugh-out-loud moments in “Dinosaurs on a Spaceship” to heartbreak in “The Girl Who Waited.”

In a vibrant chat with the Radio Times, our favorite time travelers confirmed all the juicy details about “The Pondcast.” “We really get on and catch up quite often,” Darvill shared. “It’s been ages, and we’ve already forgotten so much, but reflecting on our adventures is a blast!”

What to Expect from The Pondcast

The show promises a wonderfully casual vibe as they replay their iconic moments. Sure, it may be a bit low-key, but that’s just part of the charm. Oh, and guess what? Former showrunner Steven Moffat has already thrown his hat into the ring! Darvill teased, “I haven’t seen half of our episodes, so this is going to be a wild rewatch. We’ve recorded a few episodes, and let me tell you; it’s a whole lot of fun. Just me and Karen causing mischief!”

Life After the TARDIS: What Are They Up To?

Both Karen and Arthur have rocketed to great success post-TARDIS. Gillan has become a major player in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as the fierce Nebula in the Guardians of the Galaxy films, while Darvill has hopped through various shows, from Broadchurch to Legends of Tomorrow. These two have come a long way, but that’s not stopping them from looking back with nostalgia!

Oh, Wait… There’s a Bump in the Road!

Here’s the kicker: the name “The Pondcast” is already spoken for! It actually belongs to an adorable show dedicated to the turtle and tortoise community, boasting over 100 episodes. So, yes, our beloved Amy and Rory might need to brush up on their turtle trivia! Should be a wild ride, right?

Stay Tuned!

While there’s no official release date yet, the recording is happening as we speak, and we’re on the edge of our seats for what’s to come!
