Rory was obviously kind of quite jealous of the Doctor. But I think that’s gone now and they’ve got a real bond, they’ve got a real kind of true friendship. […] They still need each other and they still are great, great friends. I think they’ve got a very, very strong relationship and, you know, as much as Rory can be a bumbling idiot at times I think he’s proved to the Doctor and to everyone else around that when everything starts kicking off you can really step up to the plate and deliver. And be of use– because I think fundamentally he’s a good person. And the Doctor kind of constantly seeks good people. And Rory’s, you know, up there with the best of those.
