Karen Gillan says she had to keep her new role on Doctor Who from her parents.

“I really wanted to tell my parents, but I thought it wasn’t a good idea as my mum Marie is a huge fan. I didn’t want to drop that bomb on her and she’d then have to keep it secret.”

Digital Spy took a look at the new movie

Set in the grimiest parts of Edinburgh, New Town Killers is a gritty cat and mouse thriller with a bit of social commentary thrown into the mix.

Young actress Karen Gillan, who recently grabbed plenty of headlines when she was announced as the new Doctor Who companion, pops up here in a very brief cameo appearance as a seemingly friendly lass who encounters Sean in a bus station. Although barely on screen for a minute, the omens are good for her impending stint in the Tardis as she undoubtedly has screen presence and is clearly a very assured and confident actress.

I’d like to see some pics with Matt Smith, but I’m sure there will be plenty of them soon enough…
