   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.
