    Sounds like something they should have done during Covid lockdowns.


    Amy and Rory Unite!

    The Ponds are back in business!?Doctor Who?legends Karen Gillan
    and Arthur Darvill are officially reuniting for a new podcast
    which will see them reminisce about their time on the beloved
    sci-fi.

    The duo quickly became fan favourites on the show, playing
    husband and wife Amy Pond and Rory Williams alongside?Matt
    Smith's?Tenth Doctor. And now, they're ready to revisit the
    series in their new podcast, which will be aptly called
    The Pondcast.

    Sharing the news with RadioTimes.com, Darvill said the podcast
    is a chance to catch up with Gillan, who spends much of her
    time in the US, explaining:

    "We really get on and we catch up quite often, and we had such
    a good time [on Doctor Who].

    "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."

    He added: "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."

    As for how he feels about watching the episodes back? "I'm
    slightly nervous, but also, because it was so long ago, it feels
    like a different person. So I feel ready to 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."

    While The Pondcast doesn't have a launch date just yet, the pair
    have already recorded a few episodes, with former showrunner
    Steven Moffat appearing as a guest on one - so watch this space
    (and time!).

    Darvill and Gillan first appeared in the season 5 episode
    The Eleventh Hour, and remained on Doctor Who until their
    heartbreaking exit in The Angels Take Manhattan.

    The pair of them have been open about their hopes of one day
    returning to Doctor Who, with Gillan recently confirming she'd
    come back as Amy Pond, as long as Smith and Darvill were on board.

    Darvill added to RadioTimes.com: "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 - 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."

    Pondcast is coming soon.

    Yeah, although we had David Tennant and his missus to keep
    us occupied during that. ("Staged")

    Work must be drying up for them. But their "Pondcast" could
    be interesting to listen to for some behind the scenes info...
    they were popular companions. There should be some good stories.
