Shrimpton cocktail

This is a bit like when Marty from the first Back to the Future almost met Marty from Back to the Future 2, or some similar void shifting experience; Karen Gillan and the chap who will be playing David Bailey in the upcoming BB4 biopic were photographed by David Bailey for Vogue. Yes, thought you'd be impressed.

Our crude scans don't really give the shoot justice so you'd be better off going out and buying the mag (OUT NOW), but be warned, it's the hefty September issue so you'll probably need to take a bag with a reinforced strap to the shop.

Although there are plenty of lovely pics of both Gillan and Jean Shrimpton, who she plays in the show, there's not a huge amount of info about the script for We'll Take Manhattan, other than that it "promises to be a love story." Aw.

The Doctor Who actress also talks about playing such an icon, saying:

"I really hope I've done her justice.

"Everything [about Shrimpton's body language] was really quite angular. Hips jutting out here, fingers splayed in awkward positions there..."

We're sure you'll do just fine, Gillan. The fan boys, on the other hand, might like to take a cold dip.
