She's cute and looks about the same age as the new doctor. Are any of you familiar with her work?
From inthenews.co.uk:
Young British actress Karen Gillan has been announced as the next assistant in the upcoming series of Doctor Who.
Gillan, 21, has already appeared in the popular BBC1 show, having played a soothsayer in The Fires of Pompeii in the 2008 series, and has also appeared in Channel 4's The Kevin Bishop Show."I am absolutely over the moon at being chosen to play the Doctor's new companion. - I just can't wait to get started," she said after the announcement that she would star alongside Matt Smith, the next actor to play the Time Lord."The show is such a massive phenomenon that I can't quite believe I am going to be a part of it."Matt Smith is an incredible actor and it is going to be so much fun to act alongside him," she added.
Lead writer and producer Steven Moffat said "the game was up" when Gillan auditioned to play the Doctor's new assistant."[She is] funny, and clever, and gorgeous, and sexy," he added."Or Scottish, which is the quick way of saying it."A generation of little girls will want to be her. And a generation of little boys will want them to be her too."____________

I like the old Dr. Who shows and I have not have much time to watch the new ones. I often wondered why the Time Lord, did not make his assistant the Time Lady, but I guess one cannot hope for everything. I will have to see if I get a chance to watch it. I hope it is good as the older one where Dr. Who was always fighting the Daleks.

That was the best part of the show. Those little machines coming in and yelling "Exterminate, Exterminate!" 
It was much better then the modern version.

I knew she looked familiar from somewhere and that somewhere was "The Fires of Pompeii" episode! I dunno, I think you'll never know till' you actually watch it and find out for yourself.

I think she will be okay :) She was already in Doctor Who "Fires of Pompey" She was a Sooth Sayer. She was the Girl that fallowed Donna and the Doctor around. So seeing as how she has worked on the show before I believe she will be Brilliant
