More on Episode 10

Matt Smith and Karen Gillan have given more information about part two of Series 6.

"I think it's my favorite title of the season so far," Smith said about Let's Kill Hitler. "Alex Kingston [River Song] is on fine fiddle through the episode. She is just brilliant in it. There are some great science-fiction moments where you are going ‘no way!'"

“[There's] this really cool robot/villain [that] goes back in time and fixes people that have done [something] wrong in history.” Karen said. This sounds sort of like a Reaper, from the Series 1 episode Father's Day. However, she could be talking about the Tessalector.

Matt Smith congratulated Karen on her performance in Episode 10, where something "really, really bad" happens to Amy, "And the Doctor is part of it."

The videos from the Comic-Con panel can be seen here.

Karen Gillan on Let's Kill Hitler monster, River's character


In an interview with Zap2it, Karen Gillan has revealed a few teasers for the next part of Series 6.

More on Let's Kill Hitler: "It's so good. The relationship between Amy and River is really explored, Alex Kingston gives an amazing performance, And there's a really interesting villain called the Tesselector (spelling unsure), and there's a really interesting concept behind that."

River's character: "[Her character] was as big a shock to me as it was to the audience," Karen says."Alex Kingston knew the whole time, the sneak."


The Amy/River relationship: "Motherhood would change any woman, so it's definitely going to be the same for Amy," says Karen. "We're just going to see that relationship really explored between River and Amy...and also, something really interesting happens to Amy, but I'm not going to tell you."

And on Amy's journey: "We met her as a child, we've seen her as a young woman, we've seen her run away in the Tardis, get married and now she's had a child," she says. "I would love to see her whole life play out, because we don't normally get that with a companion."

The pair reveal the biggest twist will be in episode 13 as well as in episode 8, Let's Kill Hitler, where "We've got a great monster coming back" according to Matt. "Can't tell you which one, but it's really clever."

Matt Smith drops Let's Kill Hitler hints

This year's San Diego Comic-Con featured an appearance from Karen Gillan and Matt Smith.


Matt Smith revealed that the next episode, Let's Kill Hitler, is his favourite episode. "
The next episode... 'Let's Kill Hitler,'" says Smith. "[Creator] Steven [Moffat] is in fine form, and there's a great monster, which is important."

As to River's identity: "I find out quite sort of late, he says, "but I thought it was good payoff... Going into the next part of the season, there's some real good River stuff and some real good River/Doctor
stuff."

And as to where he'd go if he had a TARDIS:

"I'd go to Atlantis and see if that's just... going down," he says, "And I would go and visit the dinosaurs but I would pick up Frank Sinatra along the way."
