Karen Gillan's new Series 'Selfie' is picked up by ABC

ABC picked up the Instagram-worthy pilot

“Selfie” was 2013′s Oxford Dictionaries word of the year. It was the subject of studies about self-image, introspective essays and head-lice scares. It’s the title of a hit song. And now — because none of that was enough — it’s going to be a TV show.

Deadline reports that ABC has picked up the pilot for the comedy Selfie, which is, improbably enough, based on My Fair Lady. Karen Gillan of Doctor Who fame stars as Eliza Dooley, an Internet-famous selfie star who realizes that her zillions of followers don’t mean she has any actual friends. John Cho co-stars as the marketer she hires to help make her seem less self(ie)-centered so that she can make friends offline.

Apparently, there will be a plot line about Candy Crush. No word yet whether she’ll have to learn how to properly pronounce the emoji-sentence “raindrop-umbrella-Spanish flag-autumn leaf-autumn leaf-airplane.”

Karen Gillan On Set 30/5/2011

Here is a picture of Karen Gillan On Set filming We'll Take Manhattan on 30th May.

Below is the extract from the Daily Mail:

Playing one of the world’s most celebrated models must have been a daunting prospect.

But Doctor Who star Karen Gillan appears to have stepped into character as glamorous Sixties star Jean Shrimpton with ease.

The 23-year-old actress is pictured on set for the forthcoming BBC4 drama We’ll Take Manhattan, a film about Miss Shrimpton’s rise to fame.

It focuses on the iconic star’s four-year love affair with photographer David Bailey, played by 24-year-old British actor Aneurin Barnard.

The part is Miss Gillan’s first leading role since her debut in the 2010 series of Doctor Who as the Time Lord’s companion Amy Pond.

The film, to be screened later this year, follows the success of BBC4’s previous dramatisations of the lives of celebrity subjects including Enid Blyton, Gracie Fields, Hattie Jacques, Frankie Howerd and Tony Hancock.

BBC4 controller Richard Klein said the channel was committed to ‘dramatising moments that have changed the course of cultural life’.

The Shrimpton film will centre on a famous Vogue photo shoot which took place in 1962 in New York which helped propel the model, nicknamed The Shrimp, to worldwide stardom.

Speaking about playing the model, now 68, Miss Gillan said: ‘Jean Shrimpton is an icon of the Sixties and I am so excited to be playing somebody who had such a lasting impact on the fashion world.

‘I can’t wait to take on the challenge of bringing Jean and Bailey’s fascinating love story to life.’

Executive producer Claire Parker, of production company Kudos, said: ‘In Jean, Bailey found someone that he and his camera fell in love with.

‘We’ll Take Manhattan captures the essence of their dynamic affair and how they unwittingly changed the face of a decade.’
