JUST IN: The Ponds Are Back! Doctor Who’s Karen Gillan And Arthur Darvill Reunite For Exciting New Project—Fans Delighted As They Reveal “We’ve Recorded A Few Episodes Already”

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 Radio Times, Darvill said the Whoniverse themed podcast will see the pair rewatch and reflect on their old episodes from the beloved BBC sci-fi.

“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.”

Detailing what fans can expect from the upcoming podcast, Darvill continued: “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.”

Darvill confessed he is feeling “slightly nervous” to watch back some of his old acting performances as it’s been so long since he worked on the hit sci-fi series.

“I feel ready to watch some stuff,” he said. “I’ve seen a lot of it, but there’s some episodes I’ve never seen. So it will be a complete surprise.”

The Pondcast doesn’t have an official launch date yet. However, recording has already begun, with former showrunner Steven Moffat appearing as a guest in one episode.

Darvill and Gillan aren’t the only famous Doctor Who duo to return with a new Whoniverse project in recent months.

Earlier this year Christopher Eccleston and Billie Piper reunited for a new Big Finish audio production.

The stars reprised their roles as the Ninth Doctor and his companion Rose Tyler for a new series of adventures.

Meanwhile, Whovians are also eagerly awaiting Piper’s expected to return to the Whoniverse on-screen after Ncuti Gatwa’s Doctor appeared to regenerate into her upon his exit in May.

The BBC has confirmed the long-running sci-fi series will return in 2026 for a special Christmas episode penned by showrunner Russel T Davies
