Karen Gillan has described her last ever day on Doctor Who as “serene” in an interview with the Daily Record.

The actress filmed her final shot as Amy Pond on Saturday, and revealed that it was a fitting way for her and Arthur Darvill to finish, because they simply had to walk into the TARDIS for the scene. “The last thing we filmed was us going into the TARDIS,” she explained. “Matt closed the door and we hugged and started crying tears of happiness. It was a feeling of ‘Look at what we’ve done’. It was lovely.”

She added: “It was just a weird day and everyone was feeling it. I didn’t get to keep any Pond stuff though, because everything Doctor Who related goes to the exhibitions. Although I might have taken a little special something away with me from the TARDIS…”

Karen is currently in Cannes promoting her new film, Not Another Happy Ending, which starts filming in July. She will play Jane Lockhart, a passionate writer, in the indie comedy, and said that the project appealed to her because “it’s going to be completely different to anything” she has done. She finished: “I am just taking each acting job as it comes, whether it be more TV, film or theatre. I just want to keep on doing good stuff.”
