No Amy Pond or Rory this year in Doctor Who

A new companion for The Doctor!

I have just read that in this years new series of Doctor Who in the autumn we will be without The Doctor's companions.

Matt Smith is still playing the role of The Doctor but neither Rory or Amy will be in this years show after the fifth episode!

That stinks.  Why oh why do the writers feel they have to keep changing the Doctor's companions.

At least River Song will still feature in the new episodes.

Doctor Who is the best science fiction series on TV.

Role on the autumn when the new season starts
