loading . . . The Ponds are back! Doctor Whoâs Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill reunite for exciting new project Doctor Who stars Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill are reuniting for an exciting new project that will see the Ponds return to look back on their time on the BBC sci-fi show. Gillan and Darvill famously played husband and wife Amy Pond and Rory Williams, joining the show for season five in 2010 as companions to Matt Smith's tenth Doctor The pair exited the show after two seasons and are now set to reunite for a new podcast titled The Pondcast in which they will reminisce about their time on Doctor Who. Confirming the news in an interview with RadioTimes.com, Darvill said the podcast will see the pair rewatch their old episodes which they will then discuss. What to Read Next "We really get on and we catch up quite often, and we had such a good time [on Doctor Who]," he explained. "It was so long ago and we've forgotten so much that happened, but it was such a formative thing, that we feel now that we're able to look back and celebrate it." On what to expect from the podcast, Darvill said: "I've not seen half of it, so we're going to rewatch it and talk about it. We've recorded a few episodes already and it's really fun. It is just me and Karen messing around so I'm not quite sure how many new facts you'll get, but it's really nice to kind of go back and reminisce about it." Asked how he feels watching his old episodes again, Darvill said: "I'm slightly nervous, but also, because it was so long ago, it feels like a different person. So I feel ready to watch some stuff. I've seen a lot of it, but there's some episodes I've never seen. So it will be a complete surprise." Elsewhere in the interview, Darvill opened up about whether he would return to the show after Gillan recently confirmed she would reprise the role of Amy Pond, if Smith and Darvill were also on board. Darvill said: "We all joke with each other because we're all still good mates, like 'Maybe this year we'll be back'. I like the idea that when we're really old we'll go back. I presume it's going to go on forever. "But yeah, if the scripts were right â it was so funny when we left, we all were like, 'No, never going back. It was too good. We don't want to ruin it.' But now I think we've kind of gone off and done our own things. "And reminiscing is dangerous at times, but you kind of look back and go, well, it was really formative, and the most fun I've had on almost anything, really. I think it would be silly to rule it out." Doctor Who airs on BBC One in the UK and Disney+ elsewhere. Classic episodes of Doctor Who are available on BBC iPlayer in the UK.
