New Doctor Who Matt Smith hails 'sexy' mini-skirt of new assistant Karen Gillan - plus the sexiest Doctor Who assistants ever!

Who-la-la! Doctor Who’s new sidekick legged it to centre stage yesterday as she braved a snow-covered set in a sexy mini-skirt.

Flame-haired Karen Gillan, 22, who plays feisty Amy Pond alongside new Doctor Matt Smith, insisted on showing a shapely leg despite the freezing conditions.

She admitted yesterday: “Yes, the skirt is quite short. Initially, they wanted me in trousers, just because of the practicality of running around.

“But I wanted the mini-skirt because I think it really suits Amy’s sassy character.”

Matt, 27, chimed in: “Oh, and let’s say it out loud – it’s SEXIER, isn’t it? Come on!”

The new Time Lord, who will be on our screens in the spring after taking over from David Tennant, says he hopes to bring a new kind of chemistry to the role.

Speaking during a break in filming at Cardiff Bay, the 11th Doctor said: “My character will be less tolerant than a lot of those who have gone before him.

“And Amy’s got real fire in her belly. But there’s also great affection and love there, and we’re developing that all the time.”

The pair have now been working together for six months and say they are getting on like a Dalek on fire.

Talking about their first meeting, Karen told Doctor Who Magazine: “I was actually quite intimidated, because, you know, he’s Doctor Who. It was all very scary.

“But he was very friendly, and made me feel at ease.”

Matt joked: “I do the reverse of that now – I’m a complete git.”

Doctor Who's Tardis lands at Caerphilly Castle

Caerphilly Castle is playing host to a futuristic visitor over the Christmas period.

After travelling through time and space Doctor Who's Tardis has landed at Wales' largest moated medieval castle.

The blue police box which is located on top of the Inner East Gatehouse tower will be lit up during the night and will stay there until the New Year.

The castle was used to film some scenes for the two part Christmas episode of Doctor Who, entitled The End of Time.

The Doctor Who production team have constructed a giant platform to display the illuminated Tardis.

Visitors to the Medieval Christmas fayre at the castle on 12 and 13 December will be able to see the unusual spectacle as they do their Christmas shopping at the stalls around the castle and enjoy the festive entertainment supplied by jugglers, jesters and stilt walkers.

Tardis stands for Time and Relative Dimension in Space - the machine has been the chosen mode of transport for all of the ten Doctors on their intergalactic adventures.

John Wallis from Cadw, the organisation responsible for historic monuments around Wales, was delighted to have the extra attraction.

"I'm delighted that the Tardis is in place in time for Caerphilly's Medieval Christmas fayre this weekend," he said.

"As well as enjoying a variety of events and activities here at the Castle, visitors can now also witness this world-famous blue box at the Inner East Gatehouse tower."

The End of Time is the final journey for the tenth Doctor, played by David Tennant, as he prepares to do battle with his nemesis, the Master.
