Television Rumors and Tid-Bits for June 24, 2009

Doctor Who’s new assisstant is… young
With all the hoopla surrounding the young Matt Smith as the new Doctor in the next season of Doctor Who, the BBC finally unveiled who his assistant will be – and she’s even younger than he is. Karen Gillian, a 21-year-old actress, will tag along with the Doctor on his next round of adventures that will air next year on the BBC.
Writer and executive producer Steven Moffat said they saw some “amazing actresses” but Gillan “walked through the door the game was up”.
He described her as “funny, and clever, and gorgeous, and sexy. Or Scottish, which is the quick way of saying it”.
“A generation of little girls will want to be her. And a generation of little boys will want them to be her too,” he added.
Even though she has appeared in a few shows, this is her first high profile project.
New Doctor Who Signs Three Year Contract
Matt Smith, the newly named Doctor Who, is getting quite a different deal than his predecessor David Tennant, signing a three year contract for £600,000. The contract also gives Smith the option of signing on for an additional two years. The new Doctor’s fee is significantly less than Tennant’s £1,000,000 a year deal, which is probably due to the slow down in the economy and little to do with the popularity of Doctor Who.
Smith, who will become the eleventh Time Lord, is the youngest ever actor to play the 903-year-old doctor. Some critics branded him ‘the toddler in the Tardis’ and it’s been rumoured that he wasn’t everyone’s top choice for the part. James Nesbitt had been a favourite, having worked with new showrunner Steven Moffat previously.
Smith begins his role as the Doctor sometime next year.
