"Doctor Who star Matt Smith has said that Karen Gillan&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;sexy&amp;quot; portrayal of Time Lord companion Amy Pond adds an extra dimension to the show. The 28-year-old actor, who has previously defended Gillan&amp;#039;s short skirts and kissogram outfit, shrugged off claims that the sci-fi drama had crossed the line. &amp;quot;Don&amp;#039;t tell me that the dads at home don&amp;#039;t go, &amp;#039;Ah cool, Karen&amp;#039;s on&amp;#039;,&amp;quot; The Sun quotes Smith as saying. &amp;quot;What do people want Karen to dress in? A floor-length skirt, a pair of jeans and a hoodie? She&amp;#039;s a beautiful woman.&amp;quot; Following Smith and Gillan&amp;#039;s first appearance in &amp;#039;The Eleventh Hour&amp;#039; last April, the BBC received a number of complaints from viewers. Smith continued: &amp;quot;Amy Pond is a sexy character by her very nature. No one is quite like Amy. I think Doctor Who should be dark. I think it should be scary.&amp;quot; Referring to the Third and Fourth Doctor&amp;#039;s assistants, he added: &amp;quot;And sexy? I mean, for God&amp;#039;s sake, look at the companions of Jon Pertwee and Tom Baker in their tiny, Tarzanian tops.&amp;quot; Smith concluded: &amp;quot;It will always be family entertainment and it has to adhere to that. But I don&amp;#039;t think it has gone too far. I mean, how sexy is it?&amp;quot; &amp;gt; Karen Gillan: &amp;#039;Doctor Who&amp;#039; is not sexy&amp;#039; &amp;gt; Matt Smith: &amp;#039;Amy Pond is sexiest companion&amp;#039; Watch the new Doctor Who trailer for episodes 8-13 of season six below:  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
