context_page_description: Amelia Jessica 'Amy' Pond is a fictional character on the British science fiction television series Doctor Who. She is played by Karen Gillan. Amy is a companion of the main character, The Doctor, in his eleventh form. Much of Amy's part in the story is about her relationship with Rory Williams. They get married in the sixth series, and Amy gives birth to their daughter, Melody. It is later shown that Melody grows up to be the character River Song.
context_section_description: When "The Eleventh Hour" was first shown, two viewers quoted in The Telegraph said that Amy's character was too "sexy" for a family programme like Doctor Who. Executive producer Piers Wenger said that Amy was meant to be "feisty and outspoken and a bit of a number. Amy is probably the wildest companion that the Doctor has travelled with, but she isn’t promiscuous."
  In an online poll, with 3,000 people, taken in late 2010, Amy Pond was listed as the fifth most popular companion.
