Karen Gillan

Our first Girl Friday is of course the lovely and wonderful actress Karen Gillan, whose character on Doctor Who, Amy Pond, and her misadventures with a crack in the time/space continuum give this blog its title.

Almost a newcomer when cast as Amy Pond in Doctor Who, she has only a handful of other credits to her name, but she's only 22 and she has a long and fruitful career in front of her.

And the fact that she wears outfits like this above have seen the show being accused by the tabloids as "too sexy" and while it's true she may be more overtly sexual than any previous companion since Russell T Davies' reboot, her outfits aren't any more outre than those sported by Louise Jameson as Leela or Jo Grant as played by Katy Manning.

All hail the Scottish Agenda, I say. Especially when she obviously likes a drink.
