Doctor Who girl 'completely nervous' about series debut

Doctor Who's new companion, actress Karen Gillan, says she's "completely nervous" about the airing of her first episode.

The 22-year-old admitted the series debut was always going to be daunting but that the production team were all "really proud" of their work.

Doctor number eleven - Matt Smith - will also be introduced when the show returns at Easter.

Gillan said her on-screen partner would win over fans and silence those who've raised eyebrows about choosing a relatively unknown young actor.

"What Matt's done is something completely incredible", she said. "He's completely made the part his own and I think people really are going to fall in love with his Doctor."
