Goodbye, Amy Pond

My favourite redheaded Scots lass is leaving one of my favourite shows...

(Yes. You've guessed correctly. I simply don't have the time to write up a Blog post of normal length. I have finally got back into the flow of writing and everything is going really well after a few weeks of publicity and travel. It looks like I'll be getting Kingdom of the Wicked finished in time after all. Yay!)

Amy has quickly become my favourite Dr Who companion ever. I'll miss her spark, her accent, her pout, that policewoman's uniform...

Goodbye Amy...

And hello Jenna-Louise Coleman, who will be taking over as companion at Christmas.

All you Dr Who fans out there will know why this deserved a Blog post of its own.

And now, I'm going back to writing.

  2. You have to be a DOctor Who fan to get it. Hi DEREK! i can finally talk to you, now that my comment is closer to the top! HIII. Please come to SOuth Africa for a signing sometime. I know its a small place, but there are some die hard skul-fans here, and there aren't lions roaming around like someone people think :)

  56. One of my friends said there's a rumor that Amy and Rory are leaving after an "incident with the Weeping Angels". Of course, the shock and sadness of the news was dampened when my friend's auto-correct had changed "weeping" to "wrapping".

    ReplyDelete
