Rory Williams , the pathetic Arthur Dent - esque nanny , has become one of the most popular grapheme in Doctor Who ’s account , thanks to his steadfast devotion to the endearing Amy Pond . If only Rory would stop dying !
looter for recent episode beforehand …
We were just on a group discussion call with actor Arthur Darvill , who has a bigger - than - usual purpose in this Saturday ’s sequence , “ The Girl Who wait . ” And he completely dodged a question about whether Rory would be dying again this season . ( He said he was n’t certain , nor is he sure if there ’s a point to the running gag where Rory keeps dying . ) He did , however , convey a stiff desire : “ I wish Rory would just halt dying , ” he said , emphasizing each of those last few words . He also indicate out that a stack of Rory ’s demise have add up about because of his habit of putting himself in harm ’s way for others , including the Doctor as well as Amy . It ’s part of Rory ’s general traffic pattern of step up and being a “ bumbling hero . ”
Darvill secern reporters that he was really glad that Rory had manned up , and that live such as waiting 2000 years as a credit card centurion for Amy , and discovering that River Song is his girl , have totally change him . He ’s a mo more world - weary , but also braver and more assertive . He ’s also learn that Amy has a great bond with the Doctor , and his relationship with the Doctor has changed from jealousy to a kind of friendly relationship — in which they occasionally have a huge falling out . And Rory has discovered that in spite of all of the weird , universe - shatter thing that have fall out around him , “ his love for Amy is still the strongest matter in the globe . ”
Most of all , Rory has “ proved to the Doctor and everyone else around him that whenever things start kicking off , he can really abuse up to the plate and of habit , ” say Darvill . “ The Doctor constantly assay out safe people , and Rory is one of the best . ”
The burning question that we were dying to ask Darvill was about Amy and Rory ’s chemical reaction — or non - response — to discovering that they would never be able-bodied to raise their own daughter . or else , they found out that they had really grown up with her , because she came and became their best friend , Mels , when she was a toddler . Why were n’t Amy and Rory more upset ? Especially after the Doctor promised he would receive their small fry for them .
Here ’s what Darvill told us :
Yeah , it ’s kind of strange . We question this when we got the script . But actually , there was time in between those two installment [ “ A Good adult male Goes to War ” and “ Let ’s Kill Hitler ” ] in the summer break , for them to sit down down and talk about it . But they ’re so affected by what ’s occur to them , and what they go through every day , that this can happen to them , and it ’s not as freaky as it would be to your ordinary person . [ They ca n’t really ] return to real life , to react to things the room a normal person would react to it … If they were to go home and baby-sit and talk about what ’s go on , I do n’t think they could compute .
In reply to another question , Darvill also enjoin that Rory has n’t had time to action everything that ’s hap to him and Amy , and that Rory ’s still “ freak out out ” about the whole matter . The cay to Doctor Who is that every time the characters start to reflect on their unearthly aliveness , there ’s another colossus or emergency , and they ’re sent off running again . This is the key to the show , because we would n’t really require to watch these people talking everything through .
