“It feels like leaving two really annoying brothers who have just– I mean, it’s been relentless of what they’ve been doing to me. But with brothers, you have this love for them that just will never go away no matter what. So it is kind of like leaving family.”
“We don’t film in chronological order so the last shot we filmed was me, Matt and Arthur going into the Tardis. Then Matt closed the door for the last time and we were in darkness. We hugged and started crying. It was kind of tears of happiness. It was a feeling of ‘Look at what we’ve done’. It was lovely.” - Karen Gillan
But weren’t you just a big space gooseberry, I ask him. “Space gooseberry!” they shout in unison. This happens a lot when they’re talking. At one point in the interview they’re just meowing at each other. Two years doing the time-warp does funny things to a person. When we first caught up with this trans-dimensional Mr & Mrs in the current series they were on the brink of divorce. In real life, however, Karen and Arthur are a hooting, karate-chopping double act who are clearly going to miss each other. I ask how any Doctor Who assistant could be happy going back to reality after living it up in the Tardis. “Yeah, how do you carry on with your life?” ponders Arthur. When I remind him he’s about to find out, he lights up. “This will always be the biggest thing that ever happened to us.”
