'There's no sex allowed in the tardis': Karen Gillan insists Doctor Who will stay a family show

Daisy Lowe should be pleased to hear the latest Doctor Who gossip.



Leading lady Karen Gillan has revealed there won't be any nookie in the Tardis, meaning she won't sink her claws into Lowe's boyfriend Matt Smith.



Despite a mane of fiery red hair and legs longer than the time span the Doctor can hurtle back and forth between, the show will be family-friendly.



Strange encounters: Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill, who plays Rory, conceive in the Tardis - but steamy scenes won't be shown on the BBC show Blinded by the light: Viewers won't be disappointed by the special effects in the new series of Doctor Who Karen, 23, who plays sidekick Amy Pond, told The Mirror: ' Oh God no, it’s a family show. Perhaps there might be a DVD for the over-18s. 'You’re not going to see any of that funny flirty business in the Tardis.'

The story unfolds that newlyweds Amy and Rory Williams, played by Arthur Darvill, conceived a child in the Tardis.

But there will be no flashback scenes of them getting up to no good.



Amy then discovers the Doctor’s friend River Song, played by Alex Kingston, is actually her newborn daughter all grown up.

Gillan confirmed: 'River Song was conceived on the Tardis. It’s kind of insinuated, but never actually said. '

Kingston will no doubt enjoy her forthcoming storyline, when she gets busy planting kisses on Smith.

The former ER actress has already had the pleasure in the two-part series opener The Impossible Astronaut/Day of the Moon.



Following a mid-season break, having initially hit airwaves in April, the second part of the sixth series promises the usual rollercoaster ride with plenty of monsters and special effects.

Karen added: 'The Minotaur is pretty scary and we’ve also got a monster called the ­Teselecta in Let’s Kill Hitler.

'It goes back in time to try to right the wrongs of the past.'

There will also be a few familiar faces in the first episode, with former stars Billie Piper, Freema Agyeman and Catherine Tate all taking on cameos.

Despite their return to the set, it will be their first screen venture with Smith, having played sidekicks to ex-Time Lord David Tennant.

A BBC source said: 'They don’t have a big part to play, but fans will love to see them return and they are trying to help Matt in an hour of need.

'It is a humorous scene and it opens the door to any of them if they wanted to come back and do some more filming in the future.'

Speaking at a special Q&A screening this week, writer Steven Moffat said his intention to script in Adolf Hitler was to poke fun at the Nazi dictator.

He said: 'Hitler is iconic - in an evil and ghastly way.



'In Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade there was a ­brilliant gag where Indiana Jones accidentally gets Hitler’s ­autograph.



'I think if you really want to p*** of Hitler you don’t make him into an icon of evil, you take the mickey out of him... make him be punched by Rory.'



T he new series of Doctor Who starts with Let’s Kill Hitler on August 27.
