Filming was completed over 13 weeks and Fergison said: "Each episode is set within a very short time period so the changeable weather caused havoc." Cancellation[] On 25 February 2010, David Bentley of the  writing in their Geek Files blog, quoted an unnamed BBC spokesman: "In spite of a great cast and production team, Paradox did not find its audience in the way that we had hoped".

In , James Walton said that despite the "exciting" climactic scenes, "[s]adly, by then the show's complete absence of internal logic (or, if you prefer, its overwhelming silliness) meant that it was beyond help." Comparing with American series  and 's , Alex Hardy from  said that the former "is currently doing a much better job at such space-time contemplation" and that the "'working back from an accident' format unfolded much more deliciously" in the latter. Following the second episode, The Times' Andrew Billen said that although the last 10 minutes were exciting, "[t]he difficulty lay in the 50 minutes of scratchy dialogue, robotic acting and general misery that it took to get there." Jeremy Clay from the  also liked the climax but said "the rest was utterly daft", the programme tried the patience of 's Phil Hogan and  from  said that "the Prometheus Innovation Satellite Downlink offers a perfect acronym for the state you'd have to be in to take this kind of thing seriously".

This is Stephen Schmidt from the Gazette digital news desk and I'm here with your update for Thursday, October 14. Thursday will bring a bit of a break from the rain before a slight chance for rain in the evening. According to the National Weather Service the sky will gradually clear from partly cloudy into sunny in the Cedar Rapids area, with a high near 67 degrees. A west wind of 5 to 10 mph will blow. Thursday night there will be a 30 percent chance of showers, mainly as Thursday night flips into Friday morning. The number of new COVID-19 cases in Iowa declined in the past week continuing a downward trend, but the number of virus-related deaths from those already infected continues to climb. The Iowa Department of Public Health confirmed 97 new deaths from the virus in the past week, bringing the state's death toll since March 2020 to 6,748. Of the 97 deaths, 38 occurred in October; 51 in September; six in August; and two in May. The number of new COVID-19 cases in Iowa decreased for the third week in a row, indicating the recent surge driven by the delta variant of the coronavirus may be on the decline. The state reported 8,167 new cases, compared to the 9,860 reported last Wednesday. The under 17 age group, which is largely unvaccinated due to age restrictions on the vaccine below the age of 12, continues to lead the state in new cases each week. Meanwhile, Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds continued her staunch opposition to mask or vaccine mandates on Wednesday, describing legislation on a local radio program that she is discussing with legislators that would ban vaccine mandates in workplaces. This legislation could come as soon as the rapidly upcoming special session of congress. With three more home games remaining in the Hawkeye football season, the University of Iowa — like many other employers — is facing a “significant” staffing shortage at Kinnick Stadium. In an email disseminated Wednesday to UI Athletics Department employees and UI Staff Council members, leaders requested “game day volunteers” willing to work at stadium gates, in sections for disabled spectators and in premium club areas beginning this Saturday, when Iowa takes on Purdue at 2:36 p.m. in Kinnick UI Athletics contracts with Contemporary Services Corporation for much of its stadium staffers — including workers at the gates, in the parking lots and around stadium seating entry points to check tickets. It also contracts with Aramark for concessions workers. Given the staffing crunch Contemporary Services is facing nationally, UI Athletics is short about 200 workers, according to Marcus Wilson, executive senior associate athletics director. The battle continues to heat up between area healthcare providers aiming to stay competitive in the Corridor. Given the state's recent about-face in allowing construction of a $395 million University of Iowa hospital in North Liberty to proceed, it should grant the same permission for construction of a nearby, unaffiliated $17.9 million ambulatory surgery center, the proposed facility argues. Steindler North Liberty Ambulatory Surgery Center is seeking a certificate of need from the State Health Facilities Council to erect a free-standing facility on 36 acres near the Forevergreen Road interchange with Interstate 380. A proposed master plan for the project — which includes a 71,000-square-foot Steindler Orthopedic Clinic, relocated from its 33,000-square-foot Iowa City space, and a 36,000-square-foot ambulatory surgery center — would put it adjacent to the upcoming UI Health Care development, which drew vocal opposition from community health care providers earlier this year. Steindler, in the application, said it expects an “argument will be made that Mercy Hospital Iowa City is dependent upon Steindler Orthopedic Clinic surgeons and the impact on Mercy Hospital Iowa City will be significant if Steindler Orthopedic Clinic surgeons are no longer doing outpatient orthopedic surgeries at the hospital.”...

In November of 2006 Staff Sergeant Marcus Wilson was seriously injured in Haditha Iraq as a result of an IED hitting his humvee.  Marcus was the only survivor. As a result, Marcus lost his left leg and sustained massive injuries throughout his body.  Marcus has memories of being taken to the landing zone atop a tank with the sounds of bullets hitting the armored beast. Marcus Wilson was born in the small town of Dermott, Arkansas.  His father was in the marines, and tried to dissuade Marcus from doing the same.  Marcus had other plans.  He joined the marines in 1993 at the tender age of 16 and entered boot camp after graduation at only 17 years old. Marcus had multiple deployments to Okinawa, Japan.  It was there he heard about the September 11 attacks on America.   He served in Afghanistan in 2005 and came out unscathed.  His next deployment, Iraq, was a different story.  The level of violence was at a whole other level.  IEDs and snipers occurred on almost a daily basis.  By the time that deployment ended, half of Marcus' platoon had purple hearts. Marcus received two purple hearts.  His first IED left him with a couple of stitches.  A month later, Marcus was traumatically injured with a second IED. Marcus spent 31/2 to 4 years at Walter Reed Hospital.  The first two years were in rehabilitation and the second half was helping other injured service members. Marcus was a pivotal part of Matthew Bradford's recovery.  You can listen to Matthew's American Story here. Marcus has found peace in hunting.  He has opened this door to other vets looking for solace. Marcus lives on 5 acres with his wife, children, and beloved alpacas. You can find Marcus on Facebook at Marcus Wilson on Facebook

"The Time of the Doctor" is the third instalment in a loose  of episodes, following "" and "", which together serve as the Eleventh Doctor's . The episode addresses numerous plot threads developed over the course of Smith's tenure, including the prophecy of the Silence and the Doctor's fate on the planet , while also dealing with the regeneration limit established in. "The Time of the Doctor" is also the 800th individual episode ofDoctor Who, the ninth Christmas special since the show's 2005 revival, and Matt Smith's fourth and final Christmas special as the Eleventh Doctor. Contents   []  Plot[] The Doctor is among thousands of aliens orbiting an unknown planet, from which a message that no one can translate is being broadcast continually across time and space. With the assistance of a modified  head nicknamed "Handles," which he uses as a , the Doctor briefly visits two of these ships, before leaving to Earth to pick up  and briefly meeting her family. On returning, Handles identifies the planet as being , the lost planet of the , a statement the Doctor vehemently rejects. The Doctor and Clara are invited on board the first ship to arrive at the scene — the Church of the Papal Mainframe, a space church headed by Mother Superious Tasha Lem, an old acquaintance of the Doctor. Tasha states that the Church has secured the planet with a  and that the message instills fear into all who have heard it, then asks if the Doctor wishes to be the first to explore the cause of the message. On arriving on the planet, The Doctor and Clara are attacked by Weeping Angels, but using the key under his wig, The Doctor materializes the  around them. Now using the TARDIS as transport, The Doctor and Clara find a town called Christmas, that is surrounded by a truth field that prevents anyone from telling a lie. The message's origin is quickly identified as a crack in reality in the church tower; this crack is "scar tissue" from the cracks originally closed when the Doctor rebooted the universe (""). Handles identifies the language of the message as Gallifreyan and with the Doctor's help, translates the message as a question: "Doctor who?" (the 'first question' in ""), repeating endlessly. It is a request that the Doctor should speak his real name and thereby confirm it is truly he who is there. The Doctor concludes that his people, the , are using the crack in the universe and calling to him for help, from the  in which Gallifrey was trapped (""), from which they wish to escape. If the Doctor answers the question and speaks his real name, the Time Lords will know they have found the right place and come through to their home universe. However, this would also trigger a renewal of the as the alien species gathered above descend to destroy them, and Tasha states this will not be allowed to happen: the planet will be destroyed first at whatever cost. The Doctor asks the name of the planet, and she states "", the planet where the Doctor knows he will one day die and have his tomb (""). The Doctor tricks Clara into plugging a device into the TARDIS which transports her home, and remains on Trenzalore to defend the planet from incursions by the aliens overhead, creating a  where he cannot leave without sacrificing his home planet and its people, nor can he be removed for fear he will speak his name and let them return. Immediately after landing Clara home, the TARDIS begins to return to Trenzalore, but Clara manages to hold on to the outside of the ship and join it on its return trip. However, to protect her from the , the TARDIS is forced to increase its shields, consequently slowing down the return journey. Arriving back at Christmas, Clara meets a visibly aged Doctor who has spent 300 years defending the town. He reveals to her that, although he is known as the Eleventh Doctor, he has already used all of his , once  and the Tenth Doctor's aborted regeneration ("") are counted. He is therefore in his final body and can no longer regenerate. He and Clara are then brought to the Papal Mainframe—now. Here, he learns that during this protracted , a chapter of the Church broke away and tried to avert these events by killing off the Doctor in the past: by destroying his TARDIS ("") and engineering  to kill him (""). Additionally, Tasha and her crew have been taken over by Dalek consciousnesses, converted into 'Dalek puppets'. The Doctor taunts Tasha, awakening her anger, and allowing her to resist the Dalek consciousness within her. They all escape the ship and return to the planet, as the Dalek fleet receives reinforcements and masses for war. Despite promising never to send Clara away again, the Doctor does so and she returns to Earth as the siege of Trenzalore becomes an all out war. As the centuries pass, most of the races depart or are destroyed, leaving only the Silence (with whom the Doctor puts aside his differences and allies himself) and the Daleks. Later the same day (from Clara's perspective), the TARDIS reappears; Clara enters to find Tasha piloting the TARDIS. Noting that "flying the TARDIS was always easy, it's flying the Doctor that I've never quite mastered", Tasha returns Clara to Trenzalore, as "no one should die alone", sending her to meet with the now old and frail Doctor at the point when the Daleks finally win control of the town. With nothing left, the Doctor goes out to face the Daleks in a final stand. Clara, unable to watch what will follow, returns to the time crack and through it, begs the Time Lords to somehow save the Doctor, urging that it is owed to him for all he has done in his lives. The Doctor is preparing to die outside, when the time crack vanishes from Clara's sight in the tower, to appear across the night sky.  energy flows from the crack and into the Doctor: the Time Lords have granted the Doctor a complete new regeneration cycle, thereby saving him from death. As his thirteenth regeneration starts, the Doctor uses the excess energy to destroy the Daleks facing him. In the aftermath, Clara finds the Doctor, young again, back in the TARDIS. He states that this temporary rejuvenation is a 'reset' for the new cycle of regenerations to begin and the second phase of the regeneration is taking some time to start up, but he will soon change. He delivers a eulogy to his current form, and hallucinates a final farewell to , the first person he met after . He then removes his , a defining feature of his eleventh incarnation, and abruptly regenerates into . After exclaiming that he has 'new kidneys' and dislikes their colour, the new Doctor worriedly asks a shocked Clara if she knows how to fly the TARDIS.

A -style Doctor puppet says during a town celebration that "Christmas (the town) is defended"; this echoes the very first Doctor Who Christmas special, , when the newly regenerated  tells the  that "It (Earth) is defended." Production[] "The Time of the Doctor" is the last episode to feature Matt Smith (left) in the central role, and the second to include Peter Capaldi (right) as the new Doctor, following his cameo in "". Matt Smith said filming would commence on the episode when he had finished work on the film . He later revealed filming would start in September. The episode was directed by Jamie Payne, who previously directed the episode "". The from the Christmas special took place on 4 September 2013.

Although the Daleks and the Cybermen had previously met in "" and "", this marks the first time that the four species have appeared in an episode together. Revealed in the trailer is the Doctor's return to Trenzalore and the tagline "Silence Will Fall", which has been repeated through Matt Smith's run as the Doctor. Recasting the Doctor[] On 1 June, the BBC announced that Smith would be departing the series after almost four years, with the Christmas special episode being the episode of transition between Smith's Doctor and the next regeneration. The announcement sparked media and fan speculation as to who the next Doctor might be. It was announced on 4 August 2013, during a special broadcast – Doctor Who Live: The Next Doctor – that the twelfth incarnation of the Doctor would be played by . Although it was originally announced that Capaldi would debut as the new Doctor at some point during the Christmas special, he actually debuted in a cameo appearance in "", in which only his hand and his eyes are visible.

Broadcast and reception[] "The Time of the Doctor" was broadcast in the United Kingdom on  on Christmas Day 2013 when it received initial overnight ratings of 8.30 million viewers (30.7% share) against the long running soap opera  which got 7.9 million viewers (though this was later bumped to 8.27 million after the later repeat showing on  was factored in).  was the second most watched programme of the entire day across all channels, with the final 5 minutes (the regeneration from Smith to Capaldi) receiving the largest peak viewers of the day with 10.2 million. The final viewing figures for the episode were 11.14 million viewers, making it the fifth most watched Doctor Who Christmas special. It was also shown on 25 December in the United States on , where, with 2.47m viewers, it achieved the highest ever audience figures for the channel, beating the previous record set just over month beforehand with "". It was also seen in Canada on , in Germany on Fox and in Israel on . In Australia it aired on 26 December on, and in New Zealand, it screened on  during Boxing Day evening with 106,390 viewers. It received an of 83 in the UK. The episode holds an 86% "Fresh" rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Critical reception[] Dan Martin of  praised the episode as "awfully good". He wrote, "[Steven Moffat] performed the fourth remix of the show's mythology in a row, tying up strands that date back to the beginning of Matt Smith's run." He added, "Perfectly, the rebooting of his regeneration cycle was done simply... Who could have guessed the Doctor's renewed regeneration cycle would be dealt with as simply as his best friend just asking nicely?"  gave the episode a score of 8.4, "GREAT", writing that "'The Time of the Doctor' was an exemplary exercise in celebrating the departure of a loved one. If you managed to stay dry-eyed during the Doctor's goodbye to Clara (itself a not-entirely-transparent goodbye from Smith to the role he embodied), then you should probably double check your heart's still working," also lauding Karen Gillan's "rather crowd-pleasing, tear-inducing cameo". While criticizing its "rapid, almost breathless pace", they concluded, "It was a melancholic yet ultimately merry end to one of the show's best Doctors to date."  said that Matt Smith exited "with comic energy" and "grace", stating, "The Christmas special embodies the heartfelt style and playfulness that Matt Smith brought to his spell as the Time Lord. There are two ways to watch the series. The first requires a deep knowledge of its complicated 50-year-history and an ability to keep complicated strands of time-twisting action straight in one's head. The other way is to watch it for the poetry, the resonances and the connections and a sense of wonder about life (extra-terrestrially dressed at times, but our life underneath)."  noted similarities between the episode and the previous regeneration story: , with The Doctor seeing the person he first saw in his current incarnation before regenerating and "both are weighed under by the ominous, threatening shadow of their previous legacies, and in ways, both falter because of it." However they felt the "plot itself doesn't really quite hold up to the rest of the storytelling". They criticized Moffat for doing another "carnival of monsters, but this time, never feels quite justified, outside of a 'wouldn't it be cool *if*' moment." They also felt that it would best be suited to a two-parter like The End of Time, "with that extra time to breathe, it might not have felt so rushed, and Moffat might have had the chance to explain things a little deeper." But they too praised Smith saying, "Smith shines in his final outing as The Doctor. It's a whizz through his greatest hits if you will, from humour to grandiose speechery, to his magical capacity to make your lip quiver with a glance of his eyes." Overall they called it "a fitting end to the Matt Smith era." Jon Cooper of  gave the episode a positive review, calling it "Easily the highlight of Christmas telly," and that it "gave Matt Smith a perfect send off." They awarded the episode 4 stars out of 5. He praised Smith saying, "Easily the best he's put in since his tenure began." He criticized the pacing saying, "viewers hoping for an all-out intergalactic bloodbath must've left feeling disappointed, hundreds of years of inter-species warfare were skipped over in the blink of an eye". He also found the need for every single one of the Doctor's enemies to be there pointless, saying "Daleks on their own would have more than sufficed." He also found similarities with The End of Time, mainly the regeneration sequence, with the Doctor removing one piece of his costume before changing, and the now traditional callback to the previous regeneration with Capaldi's entrance with the kidneys line. The Independent gave a positive review saying that, "Smith gave a cracking final performance before bowing out." They also said that the episode " was a sci-fi spectacular!" But they also criticized the plot as being too complicated for its own good. Morgan Jeffrey of Digital Spy gave the episode 4 stars out of 5 and said that "Matt Smith steals the show, his final turn on Doctor Who is one of his very finest, perhaps even his absolute best." He also compared it to 's final episode and said "Smith's regeneration scene too is a thing of beauty, like David Tennant before him, Smith gets to break the fourth wall, just a little, in his extended final monologue, [...] it's perfect." He also was positive towards Clara and suggested that she was now being written in a more human, empathetic way "in the wake of the Impossible Girl arc", although such efforts were "well-intentioned but rushed", he felt that there were "steps being taken in the right direction" with the character. He praised Jenna Coleman's performance, saying she is "dependably excellent." But he did say "'The Time of the Doctor' is a case of the parts being greater than the whole. It has great scenes and standout moments rather than being a great episode." He also criticized the pacing and felt that "a repetitive story structure robbing many key moments of their power." Alasdair Wilkins of  was overwhelmingly positive in his review, praising the subtle emotional complexities. "This episode belongs to Matt Smith, and it's entirely likely that this will go down as his finest work in the role. Steven Moffat takes great care to spotlight every aspect of Smith's Doctor. He is alternately grumpy, funny, awkward, flirty, inquisitive, giddy, and heartbroken, and that simply covers the bits up to the reveal of the crack in reality. The old-age makeup isn't entirely convincing—though I'm not honestly sure any old-age makeup has ever been entirely convincing—but Smith nicely modulates his performance to suits the increasingly wizened versions of his Doctor." He also praised the episode for being an effective "final act" rather than a standalone story. He gave the episode a rating of "A". Kyle Anderson of  wrote the finale "might leave a percentage of fandom cold, but... I can't think of a better way for the Eleventh Doctor to end his tenure." He stated, "There were lots of loose ends for writer Steven Moffat to tie up, but somehow he did it." Of The Doctor's protection of Trenzalore: "It's this action that is the perfect farewell to the Eleventh Doctor. He's the Doctor, more than any other, who has run away and not wanted to be tied to any one place or time... compelled to stay put to save each and every life he can." The final scene "[allowed] the Eleventh Doctor to go out with dignity and both appreciate the sadness of leaving without casting a pall over the new." He added, "We get our first, very fleeting glimpse of the next Doctor, Peter Capaldi, who is just as intense and strange as we probably expected." Tim Martin of  gave the episode three stars, criticizing the complexity of the episode and the fact that loose plot holes were all left to be answered in just 60 minutes: "Every time the Gordian plot-knot gets sonic-screwdrivered into submission for the 60-minute limit, the writers just tap the remnants into Later. What's the deal with the creepy brain-wiping creatures known as The Silence? Later. The name of the Doctor? Later, and then we get The Time of the Doctor, where every second line seems to offer a footnote to some arcane Wikipedia entry on Whovian lore." But he praised Smith's final performance saying, "the actor was so good as the childlike alien." Radio Times said they were "really warming to the current companion, especially now she's free of the "Impossible Girl" baggage. Perky, resourceful, best-friend material, Jenna Coleman's Clara has a tangible echo of Lis Sladen's Sarah about her." They noticed anEnd of Time call back, with The Doctor seeing his previous companions before his regeneration and how the  destroyed the TARDIS with regeneration energy, the Eleventh doctor destroyed a Dalek ship with it. They look forward to seeing Peter Capaldi take over with his "Gaunt, lizard-like [face] and with frou-frou hair. [...] In Peter Capaldi, we have a dream-wish Doctor." Home media[] "The Time of the Doctor" is due to be released on DVD and Blu-ray in the United Kingdom on 20 January 2014, in Australia on 22 January 2014 and in the United States on 4 March 2014. It will be accompanied with a behind-the-scenes feature and two documentaries. The UK and Australian releases will additionally come with an extra disc featuring the Eleventh Doctor's previous Christmas specials, "", "" and "". References[]

"The Last Day" is filmed from the first-person perspective of a Gallifreyan soldier who has had a camera implanted in his head. The soldiers scan for Daleks at Arcadia, Gallifrey's second city and believed due to its impregnable defences to be the safest place on the Time Lords' home planet. During training exercises, a blurred object in the sky is identified surprisingly as the first of a fleet of successfully invading Daleks, which kill the soldiers.

Found by his allies in the present day, it allows Clara to both escape the Zygons and free the Doctors, by travelling into the past. Using the same technique to "travel" to the present via the Time Lord paintings as the Zygons, they gain entry to the Black Archives despite its TARDIS-proof defences. They use the Black Archives' mind-wiping facilities to erase the memories of the humans and Zygons present, causing them to forget who is human and who is Zygon in human form, and forcing them to cancel the detonation and discuss peace. The War Doctor, now convinced that detonating the Moment will allow his future selves to save many more lives, is returned to his time by the Moment. His other two present incarnations appear with the intention of detonating the device alongside him so as to share his burden. Clara, reminding them that he chose the name "Doctor", implores that he seek a different solution. The three Doctors finally think of an alternative solution, to put the planet Gallifrey in stasis in a moment of time, leaving the Daleks surrounding the planet to be obliterated by their own firepower; to the rest of the universe it would still appear that both sides wiped each other out. The three work with the consent of the desperate Time Lords and summon all of the Doctor's other past incarnations – as well as  – to successfully execute this plan. The three Doctors and Clara return to the Gallery, unsure whether it is possible to return Gallifrey from stasis. The War Doctor is content to think that he failed in doing the right thing, rather than succeeding in doing the wrong thing. He realises that neither he nor the Tenth Doctor will remember what happened, and will continue shouldering the guilt for centuries. After departing, the aged War Doctor finds himself beginning to  within his TARDIS. The Tenth Doctor also leaves, having persuaded his successor to tell him about his impending death on the planet . The Eleventh Doctor, now alone in the Gallery, is joined by its mysterious curator, who appears to resemble an aged version of the. The Curator enigmatically suggests that he might be a future incarnation of the Doctor, as well as commenting that the painting's actual name is neither No More nor Gallifrey Falls, but Gallifrey Falls No More. The Doctor surmises that his plan to save Gallifrey was successful. In closing, the Doctor describes a recurring dream, in which he and his eleven previous incarnations are looking together upon Gallifrey. The Doctor vows to find and restore Gallifrey. Continuity As the show's 50th anniversary special, the episode contains multiple references to previous episodes. It opens with the title sequence and theme arrangement used at the series' debut in 1963. Echoing the opening of the very first story, , a policeman is shown walking past the sign for I.M. Foreman, the scrap merchant in whose yard the TARDIS was located, and its first few seconds are in monochrome (as had been the case in , the last time more than one Doctor had featured in an official story)., where the Doctor's granddaughter  went when they were on Earth in 1963, also featured in both the original story and the 1988 serial . According to the school sign, the chairman of the school governors is now , formerly one of the First Doctor's original three companions and a science teacher at the school, and the headmaster is W. Coburn, a reference to  and ,[] who respectively directed and wrote An Unearthly Child. Clara rides out of Coal Hill School on the Eleventh Doctor's anti-gravity motorcycle from "" at 5:16, the time An Unearthly Child originally aired on  television (the first broadcast began 1 minute 20 seconds after its scheduled time of 5:15  on 23 November 1963.). The same date and time were also reflected in the activation code of the vortex manipulator, 1716231163 (signifying 17:16 23/11/1963). When the TARDIS is picked up by , the call sign used by the helicopter to refer to UNIT is 'Greyhound leader', reflecting that of,[] whose daughter Kate is now portrayed as having his role as commander of UNIT. Lethbridge-Stewart was a central character in the 's era and also several of his successors', originally appearing in the serial  and making his last appearance in Doctor Who in  serial , which is also referenced. An image of the Brigadier is seen alongside images of various companions of the Doctor. Kate's assistant, Osgood, is also a name from that era (UNIT technician Osgood from ) and her scarf is very similar to that worn by the Fourth Doctor; the Eleventh Doctor remarks that it is a "nice scarf". Osgood also uses it to trip up her Zygon duplicate who was standing on it, a nod to the Fourth Doctor's actions against a thug in his first story Robot. Kate Stewart twice mentions her subordinate, Malcolm, presumably the same UNIT scientist named Malcolm played by  in "".[] The controversy, regarding whether the  era stories took place in the 1970s or 1980s, is referenced in dialogue by Kate Stewart, when she mentions that events occurred in "the '70s or '80s depending on the dating protocol used". The Tenth Doctor's era is also heavily referenced, elaborating on his marriage to Queen Elizabeth I originally mentioned in his final story,  and first referred to in "". It is implied that he deserted her shortly after the wedding as part of his (fruitless) attempt to flee his impending death, hence her fury at him when she finds him at the Globe Theatre;[]at that time he had no idea why she was so angry, since the events of "The Shakespeare Code" occur much earlier than those of "The Day of the Doctor". The Tenth Doctor's speech to a rabbit whom he believes to be a Zygon is partially taken from the Christmas special, "". The Tenth Doctor mentioned the Fall of Arcadia in "". When he leaves after learning of Trenzalore, the Tenth Doctor remarks, "I don't want to go...", his incarnation's final words from The End of Time; the Eleventh Doctor tells Clara that "he always says that" after his TARDIS leaves. The Eleventh Doctor's fixation with  – a linking item in this story – begins in "" and reappears in "", "", and "". The Moment device was originally mentioned in The End of Time, but had not been explored in depth. Here, it takes the form of "", a seemingly omnipotent being and personalisation of the  itself, which manifested in  when she absorbed the Time Vortex in the  finale, "". Other references come heavily from the previous multi-Doctor anniversary stories, The Three Doctors and The Five Doctors. The Eleventh Doctor's dismissal of the Tenth Doctor and War Doctor as "the sandshoes and grandad" to mock their respective trainers and age echo the First Doctor's description of his two successors in The Three Doctors as "a dandy and a clown"[]. Likewise, a Time Lord says, "I didn't know when I was well-off! All twelve of them!" which recalls the Brigadier's line from The Three Doctors: "Three of them, eh? I didn't know when I was well off." More of the Brigadier's dialogue from the latter serial is referenced when Kate asks for an incident report code-named "Cromer"; in the earlier story, upon being transported to another universe, the Brigadier initially believes himself to be near the coastal Norfolk town. A line from the First Doctor, this time from The Five Doctors, is also referenced near the end as the Tenth Doctor tells the Eleventh, "It's good to know my future is in safe hands" (which the First told the Fifth in the earlier story, appended by "after all"). In trying to compensate for the presence of three Doctors who utilise different console rooms, the Tenth Doctor's TARDIS console briefly changes to the War Doctor's console room, seen again later in the episode, before settling on the Eleventh's; according to the script, the fact that all three are together has knocked their time streams out of sync and the TARDIS is reacting to that.[] The Tenth Doctor comments upon the Eleventh Doctor's TARDIS console, "Oh you've redecorated! I don't like it", a line originally used by the  speaking to the Third in  and later reused by the Second and Eleventh Doctors respectively in and "". There were plenty of other script references to both the recent and classic history of the programme. When the Tenth and Eleventh Doctors aim their  at troops in 1560, the War Doctor asks if they plan to "...assemble a cabinet at them?", a line used by  when the Eleventh Doctor points his screwdriver at  in a fight scene of "". The white roundels in the wall of the War Doctor's TARDIS were featured in the classic series' original TARDIS console rooms from 1963 to 1989 before being removed for the more elaborate TARDIS console used by the Seventh and Eighth Doctors in the TV movie. Seeing the white roundels, both the Tenth and Eleventh Doctor are pleased, but are uncertain as to what they are for.

However, he liked the concept of bringing back her Bad Wolf persona and felt that Piper needed to be in the special as she symbolised the rebirth of Doctor Who. John Hurt did not actually audition for the part, but had been asked by the production team and "said yes with remarkable speed".His costume was meant to signify that he was "rougher, tougher", and had been around for a while; the audience had missed a lot. Hurt's request to keep his beard adds to this effect, and makes him the first bearded Doctor.  discussed plans for the anniversary episode with Moffat, but eventually declined to return as the ., who played the , claimed that none of the surviving actors who portrayed the Doctor prior to Eccleston were contacted regarding the special.  confirmed this while being interviewed on Australian television alongside McCoy and . However, McGann went on to say that he could still be in the 50th but at the last moment. reported rumours that a Doctor from the classic era would feature in the special, citing unknown sources.  and, who played Tenth Doctor companions  and , respectively, both stated they would not be in the 50th, but may return to the show at some point. Barrowman stated that he would have liked to be in it, but speculated that the producers wanted to try some different things. Production Publicity Steven Moffat previously stated, "Most things that have been said about the 50th are not true... Normally I am responsible for the disinformation and the rubbish rumors—I usually put them out myself, but I haven't needed to for this one." On the importance of the episode, Moffat has stated that it will "change the narrative" of Doctor Who. "", an additional 7-minute special, was released on 14 November 2013, and featured the  ()'s regeneration into the  (). Another 4 minute special, entitled "", was released on 20 November 2013 and saw the start of the Fall of Arcadia. On 4 November 2013, the BBC released the official synopsis: "The Doctors embark on their greatest adventure in this 50th anniversary special. In 2013, something terrible is awakening in London's National Gallery; in 1562, a murderous plot is afoot in Elizabethan England; and somewhere in space an ancient battle reaches its devastating conclusion. All of reality is at stake as the Doctor's own dangerous past comes back to haunt him." On 22 November 2013,  stated on  "I can say something about my character; it's not Rose as we know her" to about the episode.[] Writing "The Day of the Doctor" was written by , current head writer of Doctor Who, and produced by Faith Penhale in , with  directing. Moffat began writing the script for "The Day of the Doctor" in late 2012, announcing that, as a security precaution, he had not produced any copies, instead keeping it on his computer "under lock and key" until it was needed. Moffat had often thought about featuring a "mayfly Doctor" who appears for a single episode, asking, "Would it be weird in the run of the series to have the 45th Doctor turn up and be played by  or someone? Would that be a cool thing to do?" He also indicated that the "classic Doctor" he would most like to feature in a new story was 's , stating, "You'd want him to come and say 'What in the name of God have I turned into?' That's the confrontation that you most want to see, to celebrate 50 years. Going round and round in circles on it I just thought, 'What about a Doctor that he never talks about?' And what if it is a Doctor who's done something terrible, who's much deadlier and more serious, who represents that thing that is the undertow in both David and Matt. You know there's a terrible old man inside them. Well, here he is, facing the children he becomes, as it were." Knowing that Matt Smith was planning to leave, Moffat wrote the special specifically with the brief appearance of the  during the sequence of all of the Doctors uniting to save Gallifrey, prior to casting anyone in the role. Moffat later stated of the 50th episode, that it was his "plan from the start" that all the Doctors would fly in to save Gallifrey, and he knew there would be a new one at that time. He wrote it before knowing who would be cast. Typically, Doctor Who's anniversary stories are named after the number of returning Doctors, as with  and . Moffat explained his choice of title to SFX magazine, commenting that "... it's very rare in Doctor Who that the story happens to the Doctor. It happens to people around him, and he helps out – he's the hero figure who rides in and saves everybody from the story of the week. He is not the story of the week. In this, he is the story of the week. This is the day of the Doctor. This is his most important day. His most important moment. This is the one he'll remember, whereas I often think the Doctor wanders back to his TARDIS and forgets all about it." Filming Because "The Day of the Doctor" was filmed in 3D, the episode took longer than usual to shoot, especially as every  shot had to be done twice. Filming began on 2 April 2013 in , . On 9 April 2013 scenes were filmed for the special in , . On 17 April 2013 , ,  and  filmed scenes in ,, , and some scenes were shot in . On 2 May 2013, scenes in  were being filmed for scenes that take place at Totter's Lane and Coal Hill school, locations which had previously featured in the first 1963 serial , the 1985 serial , and the 1988 serial . Filming for the special was completed on Sunday 5 May 2013.

Marketing Trailers The first trailer for the special was shown to attendees of  in July 2013. The BBC's decision not to release the trailer online to international fans was met with controversy. On 26 July, the BBC responded to criticisms by saying the trailer was intended to be exclusive to Comic-Con attendees and that content for all other audiences would be forthcoming at a later date.The trailer was also screened at The Edinburgh International Television Festival, at the end of Charlotte Moore's "Meet The Controller" session.[] On 28 September, the BBC revealed that the trailer for the special had been specifically shot and was currently in post-production. On 19 October 2013, a specially-made teaser trailer, directed by Matt Losasso, was shown on BBC One, and was then subsequently posted online.

Following the events of "",  decides to learn more about his new   and travels into her past to observe her. He finds her parents met by a chance encounter caused by a gust of wind blowing a leaf into her father's face and then later discovers that her mother died while Clara was a teenager. The Doctor takes the back to the present and collects Clara as previously arranged. He asks her where she would like to go and she requests to be shown "something awesome". The Doctor takes Clara to the Rings of Akhaten. There they observe a series of orbiting a planet, with a shining  on one of them. The Doctor takes Clara to a giant alien marketplace and introduces her to several aliens, including a merchant named Dor'een who attempts to rent them a space bike. The Doctor explains that the market doesn't use hard currency but rather trades in items of sentimental value. Clara becomes separated from the Doctor and encounters a little girl who appears to be running and hiding. Clara catches up to her and she explains that her name is Merry Gejelh, and that she is the Queen of Years. Merry tells Clara that she is hiding because she is supposed to sing a song at a ceremony and she is afraid to get it wrong. Clara reassures her and Merry heads to the ceremony. The Doctor and Clara attend the ceremony, where The Doctor explains that since the Rings were settled there has been a constant song sung to keep an angry god asleep. The people fear that the god, which they call Grandfather, will awaken and consume the entire universe if the song is ever interrupted. Merry begins singing, joined by a  at the pyramid. During the song, a mummy in a glass case at the pyramid begins to awaken. Merry panics, believing she made a mistake in the song. A beam of light from the pyramid envelopes her and she is pulled toward the pyramid and the mummy. The Doctor and Clara quickly find Dor'een and rent the space bike using Clara's mother's ring as payment. They ride the bike to the pyramid where they find the mummy struggling to escape the case and consume Merry's soul. The Doctor promises Merry that she doesn't have to sacrifice herself and that he will stop Grandfather. As they attempt to leave a group of creatures called the Vigil arrive and attempt to force Merry to sacrifice herself. The Doctor manages to hold the Vigil at bay long enough to let Clara and Merry escape from the throne room, but then the case shatters and the mummy breaks free. A ray of light strikes the planet, revealing that Grandfather is not the mummy, but rather Akhaten itself, a planet-sized parasitic creature. Clara and Merry flee back to the ceremony and the Doctor faces the creature, realizing it feeds off of memories, stories, and feelings. He tries to overfeed it by offering the sum total of his Time Lord memories. This by itself is not enough to sate the creature, and Clara returns to help. She offers the creature the leaf that blew into her father's face on the day he met her mother. The leaf contains an infinite amount of untold potential that Clara's mother never saw because she died early. The creature, overwhelmed by the infinite potential it has consumed, implodes on itself and the planet and the Rings are saved. The Doctor returns Clara to her home on the same day they left and gives her back her mother's ring. He tells her that all the creatures she saved wanted her to have it back. Suddenly Clara remembers seeing The Doctor at her mother's funeral and asks why he was there. He tells her that she reminds him of someone who died, and she rebukes him for using her as a replacement. He assures her that he was not replacing his friend, and Clara sets off home. []Continuity In "", the Doctor finds a preserved leaf pressed between the pages of Clara's book, 101 Places to See. Clara enigmatically refers to it as "page one". The opening scene in "The Rings of Akhaten" explains this statement, showing how a mishap involving the leaf led to her parents' first meeting. The Doctor mentions to Clara that he had visited Akhaten long ago with his granddaughter. This is a reference to , the companion and granddaughter of 's . []Production Writer  was a Doctor Who fan, but had never had the time to write an episode. Executive producer Caroline Skinner, who was new with the seventh series, knew him and offered to work his schedule around writing an episode; he was willing to do it. Executive producer and lead writer  was pleased to have Cross join, as he was a showrunner in his own right with . Cross had written the tenth episode of the series, "", and was asked to write "The Rings of Akhaten" because the producers liked "Hide". Jenna-Louise Coleman named "The Rings of Akhaten" one of her favourites of the second half of the seventh series, as it was the first adventure for Clara which allowed the audience to watch the story "[begin] again". The concept behind having the episode based around an alien planet occured to Moffat, Skinner, and producer Marcus Wilson when realising they had done big location pieces in the first half of the series with "" and "", but had none for the second half. They decided to do a story set in "a world created in our studios to make you really feel you're out there", rather than having the Doctor "promise unearthly wonders to his companions, and then get them trapped in an underground tunnel". As such, the episode was designed to allow the Doctor to actually show his new companion the wonders he had promised.The production team aimed to show "the best alien planet" on Doctor Who. The  for "The Rings of Ahkaten" was held on 17 October 2012, with filming beginning the next week on 22 October.Director  had previously worked on the programme in the 2011 Christmas special "". According to Matt Smith, there were "between 50 and 60 prosthetic aliens" in a scene set in an alien market.Millennium FX's Neill Gorton remarked that he had "always wanted to do a scene like the  cantina" and had worked on different moulds in his spare time in case they could be used in the future, as making thirty different aliens would be out of the budget. Much of the episode was constructed around talks of what could be created with limited resources. For example, Cross recalled that producer Marcus Wilson called him and asked, "We've always wanted to have a speeder-bike like in  and we know how to do it inexpensively, so can you get one into the story?" To help establish the year at the beginning of the episode "" by  is heard and the Doctor is seen reading a 1981 copy of . []Broadcast and reception "The Rings of Akhaten" was first broadcast in the United Kingdom on  on 6 April 2013. Overnight ratings showed that it was watched by 5.5 million viewers live. It received an  of 84. []Critical reception The episode received positive to mixed reviews. Neela Debnath of  called it "heart-warming" and felt that centering the episode around a child "adds something". She also praised the aesthetics and the caring nature of Clara's character. 's Geoff Berkshire shared similar sentiments, and also praised Emila Jones' performance. Both Debnath and Berkshire likened the storytelling to the  era (2005–2010).  reviewer Dan Martin described the story as "slight and straightforward [but] told it in broad and effective strokes" with "gorgeous" visuals. He particularly praised the emotional effectiveness of the ending, but felt that "The Mummy", although visually impressive, was "a little bit of a squib after all the build-up". 's Mark Snow gave "The Rings of Akhaten" a rating of 7.2 out of 10. He wrote that Akhaten "felt like a fully formed world" but criticised the resolution and the Mummy's appearance. Gavin Fuller of  gave the episode three and a half out of five stars and called it "a mixed bag ... but still with enough elements of uniqueness to demonstrate, almost 50 years on, just why there is still nothing like Doctor Who on television". He wrote that the religion and singing was well-realised, but felt the "mind parasite" was too similar to the  which was featured the previous week, and also thought the many aliens "gave more than a hint of trying too hard and did not get things off to the best of starts".  reviewer Morgan Jeffery praised Clara and the monsters, but felt that after a good build-up the episode fell apart at its climax, which he felt was "far too fantastical".  reviewer Richard Edwards was more negative, giving the episode three stars out of five. He felt that the story had a lot of interesting ideas but then became standard. He also criticised the use of the sonic screwdriver and the Doctor's monologue, which he felt had been overused too much recently, but said that the episode was saved by Clara.Patrick Mulkern of  was also disappointed, saying that it "amounts to little more than series of events and has a more preposterous premise than usual".

It is the last in the first block of episodes in the seventh series, to be followed by a Christmas special. The episode was written by head writer and directed by . The story takes place in New York and features recurring monsters the . This is the final episode that features () and (). reprises her role as , the Doctor's wife and occasional companion, the daughter of Amy and Rory. Contents Plot In the prologue, private detective Sam Garner in 1938 New York is hired by the shady Mr. Grayle to investigate "moving statues" at the Winter Quay, a set of apartment blocks. There, Sam finds an elderly version of himself dying in a bed. Chased by to the rooftop, the man is confronted by a grimacing . In present-day New York City, the Doctor, Amy, and Rory enjoy a picnic in . The Doctor is reading to Amy from a 1930s detective , "The Angel's Kiss: A Melody Malone Story", while Rory leaves them to go for coffee. As he reads, the Doctor tears out the last page, noting he does this to avoid endings. Continuing, the Doctor and Amy are surprised to find Rory turn up in the plot of the novel. The Doctor and Amy continue to read in concurrence with events in the past, as Rory is joined by the book's lead character, Melody Malone, who turns out to be River Song. They are both abducted by Grayle's henchmen. River tells Rory that New York is subjected to unusual time distortions which would prevent the TARDIS from landing in this time period. As the Doctor and Amy return to the TARDIS, he scolds her to not read ahead in the novel for fear of creating a fixed point in time that they must follow, as she has already read about the Doctor breaking River's wrist. Grayle has Rory locked up in his basement with cherub-shaped Weeping Angels with only a box of matches to protect himself, while River is taken to his secured office. Information she provides via the book allows the Doctor to signal her via the writing on an old Chinese vase, and she activates a homing beacon, allowing the Doctor to guide the TARDIS to Grayle. In the meantime Grayle has shown River a damaged Weeping Angel, part of his collection, and allowed it to grab River's wrist to gain information about the Angels from her. Amy deduces that River will write the book and correctly guesses that she would have left hints. They identify Rory's location from the chapter titles in the novel, and the Doctor sends Amy to rescue him. However, the Doctor finds the last chapter is about Amy's farewell and frets. Upset, he tells River to free herself from the Angel without breaking her wrist. The Doctor joins Amy and finds that Rory has run out of matches and with no means to look at the Angels was snatched by them. River appears, having freed herself apparently without harm from the Angel, and soon locates Rory nearby at Winter Quay: he has unusually been moved in space and not time. However, as they race to leave, the Doctor grabs River's hand and discovers that her wrist is broken. Realising the events of the book are still coming true, the Doctor uses his regeneration energy to heal River. At the Quay, Rory is drawn to an apartment labelled with his name, just as the others catch up to him. In the apartment, they find an elderly Rory on his death bed, calling to Amy before dying. The Doctor realises that Rory's fate is now assured; the Doctor recognises that the Quay has been used by the Angels many times within the populous New York City as a battery farm, leaving their victims to live out their lives in solitude, whilst the Angels feast on their energy. Rory and Amy refuse to accept their fate, insisting they can run from the Angels forever. The Doctor and River agree, and help to distract the Angels converging on them. Amy and Rory make it to the roof of the building, where the Statue of Liberty, a giant Angel itself, awaits to take Rory to the past. Rory determines there is another exit — were he to die by jumping from the roof before the Angels take him, a paradox would be created, ending their preying methods and wiping them from existence. Rather than pushing him as he requests, Amy opts to join him, and just as the Doctor and River reach the roof, the two jump, creating the paradox and killing the Angels. The four find themselves in a New York graveyard in the present era again, though the Doctor notes with the paradox, he can no longer travel to that point in time for fear of destroying New York. As the others enter the TARDIS, Rory spots a tombstone with his name on it — moments before he is touched by one surviving Angel and disappears into the past. A distraught Amy convinces herself that if she were touched by the same Angel, it would send her to the same time it sent Rory. While she is still staring at the Angel she tearfully says goodbye to River. The Doctor tries to talk her out of it, knowing he can't return to the past to see her again, but River insists she goes. Amy finally says goodbye to the "Raggedy Man" - her early nickname for the Doctor - as she turns to face him and lets the Angel take her. The tombstone then changes to reflect Amy's presence in the past with Rory, both having died at an old age. In the TARDIS, the distraught Doctor asks River to travel with him, which she agrees to do, but "not always". He considers this, and suddenly realises that while River may be the author of "The Angel's Kiss", Amy would be the one to publish the book, and may have left a final message in the . He races back to their picnic spot to find the page he tore out earlier containing the afterword. In it, Amy tells him that she and Rory love him and assures him that they lived a good and happy life together. She also requests that he pay another visit to her younger self to reassure her that he will come back for her and take her on amazing journeys. As the episode ends, young Amelia Pond waits for the Doctor in her garden, looking to the skies as she hears the sound of the TARDIS engines. Continuity When River asks the Doctor whether the bulb on top of the TARDIS needs changing, he says that he has just changed it; flickering light bulbs have been a common motif throughout the current series, as well as a tactic used by the Angels in their previous appearances. In Amy's voice over, references are made to "", "", "", "", and "". The closing view of young Amelia waiting in her garden reprises a scene from "The Eleventh Hour". Production Matt Smith during filming of the episode in Central Park, New York In December 2011, Doctor Who announced that Amy and Rory would leave in the seventh series in "heartbreaking" circumstances. Amy's exit was a mutual decision between Moffat and Gillan. Gillan wanted her character to have a final ending, and ruled out returning to the show in the future as she felt it would take away from the impact of her final scene. Moffat stated he felt "tremendous pressure" writing Amy and Rory's ending. He later revealed that he "completely changed" the ending as he was writing it, feeling the emphasis was wrong. Gillan refused to read the script for a few weeks after she received it because she "didn't want to make it real". She said in an interview, "I literally couldn't read it without crying. It was the most highly-charged read-through I've ever experienced. But I couldn't have asked for a better exit. I don't think it'll be what people expect." However, the final episode Gillan and Darvill shot as Amy and Rory was actually the previous episode, "". Moffat was also interested in coming up with a new form for the Angels, and so he introduced the . Much of the episode was filmed in in in April 2012. The cast and crew were met with thousands of American fans, which surprised Smith, Gillan, and Darvill. Other scenes were shot at night in the city, involving old-fashioned cars. Moffat was in New York City when he came up with the story, and thought it was appropriate for the Weeping Angels. He described the city as "a different backdrop" to shoot a Doctor Who story in, and made use of its architecture. Fellow executive producer Caroline Skinner felt that the location "has such scale and romance" which "[gave] the episode a real atmosphere and a very different tone for Doctor Who". This marks the second time Doctor Who has filmed in the United States, the first being the opening episodes ""/"". The week spent filming in the city was done by a "small unit by American standards" according to producer Marcus Wilson. They did not take any props of Angels or the TARDIS, which were instead added in post-production. Other filming locations included , and a cemetery in . The New York skyline was added into the cemetery in post-production. The Doctor Who logo in the title sequence featured a texture showing the Statue of Liberty's crown, in keeping with the varied "blockbuster" themes for each of the opening five episodes of the series. The Angel's Kiss: A Melody Malone Story Main article: The story that the Doctor reads in this episode is titled The Angel's Kiss: A Melody Malone Story. BBC Books is due to publish this as an ebook on 4 October 2012. Broadcast and reception "The Angels Take Manhattan" was first broadcast in the United Kingdom on 29 September 2012. Overnight ratings showed that it was watched by 5.9 million viewers live, an increase of 400,000 from the previous week. It also received an of 88, the second highest of the series behind "" (89). Critical reception The episode received positive reviews. Dan Martin of gave a positive review, writing, "This was a fitting end to a golden era, and bravo to Steven Moffat for telling such an involving, emotional story with such style". He also praised the concept of the cherubs and the Angels in New York. However, he noted that he was "flummoxed" as to where in River's timeline the episode took place. reviewer Gavin Fuller gave it five out of five stars, concluding "'The Angels Take Manhattan' brought this mini-run of the series to a close with easily the best episode of the five: a powerful, taut, compelling, filmic, emotionally punchy affair which re-established the Angels as one of the standout monsters of the series and gave Amy Pond a fine send off". While he praised the four actors he felt Gillan was the star, and noted that Rory did not "get any sort of send-off". Keith Phipps of gave "The Angels Take Manhattan" a grade of A, attributing its success to "the way it does double duty as a twist adventure and a highly emotional story of farewells". Sam Wollaston, also writing for The Guardian, wrote positively of the scare factor in the episode, as well as the sadness. Neela Debnath of described it as a "wonderful swansong to the duo" and particularly praised the "stylish" cinematography and sense of danger. However, she considered the "only flaw" to be "the rule that time cannot be changed if one knows what is going to happen ... though it is probably best not to question the timey wimey side of things and just accept it and enjoy the adventure". 's Matt Risley rated the episode 9 out of 10, writing that it "stood strong as a heartfelt, emotional end for the TARDIS' longest serving companions (since the show's noughties' return at least), and the best episode of the season thus far". Risley also praised the three leads, though he did admit the episode "left a few nitpicky questions". reviewer Morgan Jeffery gave "The Angels Take Manhattan" five out of five stars, despite noting "plotholes ... and slightly-too-convenient plot contrivances" and that Rory did not get a heroic exit. Jeffery particularly praised the build-up to Amy and Rory's departure as well as the "superb production design". Dave Golder of awarded the episode four out of five stars, believing that the "bittersweet exit" of the Ponds distracted the viewer from various narrative problems, such as the Statue of Liberty. He felt that Gillan and Darvill "were on top form" as well as Smith's "brilliant performance" and a "less over-the-top River", and also wrote positively about the noir theme and the Angels using the Winter Quay as a battery farm. writer Maureen Ryan was more critical of the episode, worrying that the BBC's international promotion of the show was to the detriment of the quality of the writing. She felt that Amy deserved a better exit and "was crowded out by the distracting presence of River Song and by the fact that Rory was the one to make the essential choices first". She also personally disliked the "timey-whimey" devices, and commented that the "big and operatic tone the director was clearly going for clashed with the mood of film noir" and that the Angels "felt less menacing" and the "pace was a little too frantic".
