Karen Gillan was at the Television Critics Association press event earlier this week, promoting her upcoming ABC comedy Selfie, and expressed her excitement for Peter Capaldi as the new Doctor.
“I’m so excited,” Gillan exclaimed. “I was actually there when Peter Capaldi walked onto the set for the first time and it was one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen.”
It’s in safe hands,” the actress assured.
Gillan was on the set filming a final scene with Matt Smith for his regeneration episode. “Literally it was one in and one out. Matt Smith left the studio and then Peter Capaldi, the new Doctor, walked in. I was there for both of them and I was like, ‘Whoa, it really is that fast of a changeover.'”
