If Doctor Matt wants to bring Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill along with him in his TARDIS when arrives at the Big Finish studios, it's okay with me. The only things I can find to hold against the Ponds is when the show's opening went almost as if it were a show about Amy Pond and some strange man who lives in a police box who keeps following her around everywhere, which isn't really Amy's fault - and also the River/Pond business (which might be where they started to lose the plot with River Song - thankfully Alex Kingston makes sure I love River even if no one had any idea exactly what to do with her character).
Otherwise Amy strikes me as a pleasant enough companion and better still bringing the boyfriend for a chaperone. Fine pair of actors, though - I couldn't help but like Rory and Amy and I doubt I'd turn down an audio devoted to them - or for that matter, to Martha and/or Mickey either.

Everyone may like or dislike certain characters but I want every character to return because someone out there is a fan. Not to mention if it's Big Finish I think they have a chance to make me like a character I disliked before.

I hope with 11th Doctor and Pond audios they'd make more of the search for Melody because on TV that was something that wasn't fully realised. I'd like a story where they come to the realisation that they won't find their daughter to raise her up and the grown up River might be the closest to having her back.

Just saw Karen Gillan on Saturday at Shore Leave. I did ask her in front of a full crowd (750+ probably) whether she would be interested in doing Big Finish audios. She said that would be cool. She is impressed with their work. One difficulty is that she is based in the US now, but I'm sure something could be arranged.

Sorry was just stareing at the picture Well im sure they could definitely sort something out for her to do a few audios

I guess she didn't have to shave her head for the second Guardians of the Galaxy movie. Or whatever. I loved Amy. I loved Amy & Rory. I'll take that TARDIS team whenever Big Finish can work out the details.

I thought the movie had wrapped principal photography. *Edit* Checking imdb and the film is indeed in post-production.

It's not like LA doesn't have it's fair share of sound studios.

I'd like a story where they come to the realisation that they won't find their daughter to raise her up and the grown up River might be the closest to having her back. Eh, but what function could the search have in such episodes other than a few moments of sentiment, when the listener knows that they won't find her? It'd just be something tacked on at either end of the actual content of the story in each episode. Anyway, if Matt comes back, I hope that BF does its own thing and does not try to fit its episodes into the TV arcs (except maybe the S5 arc, because that made sense at least until the resolution and was compelling, where others failed for me). It may be an unrealistic wish, seeing as BF does try to fit episodes to the era and generally does a good job of it.

It would make a nice bookend for a story about helping some alien parents find their kidnapped child for example.

11 Dr audios would be interesting to me, as although I loved S5, for much of Smith's era the performances of the leads and the production values were the things that I enjoyed more than the actual storylines , I've yet to watch about half of S6-7, and although there were episodes of each I enjoyed enormously, personally I'm hoping that B.F could take the characters and broad tone of Smith's era and take things in a new direction, Smith era was so arc heavy on TV (though with numerous tailor made lengthy gaps for B.F) that trying to place too many stories closely within TV continuity wouldn't interest me that much, and although Smith's era has many fans, I'm not entirely convinced there's as much nostaglia and mass appeal for it in the way the 10/Donna stories had...

I'll take that TARDIS team whenever Big Finish can work out the details. She said filming finished 3 weeks ago. Someone did ask her about shaving her head and she turned around a showed a part - so some in the back did need to get shaved, but for the most part they made do otherwise. Apparently at San Diego the other year she pulled off a wig to prove that she had shaved her head for the first one. By the way if anyone does want to see more photos from the Karen Gillan panel they are on my FB page. The link to the photo album is here. The properties are "friend of friend"
