'''''The Vampires of Venice''''' was the sixth episode of [[Series 4 (Doctor Who)|series 4]] of ''[[Doctor Who]]''.
It was narratively tied to the final scene of ''[[Flesh and Stone (TV story)|Flesh and Stone]]'', greatly furthered the Doctor-Rory-Amy romantic triangle subplot and ended with Rory [[companion|joining the Doctor]] in his travels. Unlike [[Series 1 (Doctor Who)|the Ninth Doctor, Rose and Mickey triangle]], this time the Doctor is trying to make sure that his companion's relationship with her boyfriend remains intact.
It also increased awareness of how serious [[Prisoner Zero]]'s warning about [[Kovarian Chapter|silence falling]] was; [[Rosanna Calvierri]] mentioned [[Saturnyn|her people]] became refugees when they fled from [[the Silence]] through a [[Time Field|crack]] into the [[Earth]]'s ocean before [[Saturnyne]] was "lost" to the cracks.
'''''The Big Bang''''' was the thirteenth and special episode of [[Series 4 (Doctor Who)|series 4]] of ''[[Doctor Who]]''.
It concluded many aspects of the story begun in ''[[The Eleventh Hour (TV story)|The Eleventh Hour]]'' — most obviously by marrying Amy and Rory and by seemingly closing the [[Time Field|cracks in time]] — but it left the audience wondering what "[[the Silence]]" was and why it wanted [[The Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]] to explode.
The series 5 finale kickstarted several overarching stories that would foreshadow major conflicts yet to ensnare [[the Doctor]]. While the identity of the Silence was a major topic explored in [[series 6 (Doctor Who)|series 6]], the question of why they wanted to blow the TARDIS up remained what the Eleventh Doctor called "a good question for another day" until the 2013 Christmas Special ''[[The Time of the Doctor (TV story)|The Time of the Doctor]]'' answered it, while the mention of "[[Foretold|an Egyptian goddess]] loose on the [[Orient Express (spacecraft)|Orient Express in space]]" at the episode's end would later be picked up again in the [[Series 8 (Doctor Who)|series 8]] episode ''[[Mummy on the Orient Express (TV story)|Mummy on the Orient Express]]''.
''The Big Bang'' had an impact upon ''[[Torchwood (TV series)|Torchwood]]'' as well, allowing it to, at least in [[Russell T Davies]]' mind, escape the confines of [[Cardiff]]. He said that closing the [[Time Field|cracks in time]] also resulted in the closing of the [[Cardiff Rift]].<ref>Berriman. Ian. "RTD on Torchwood". ''SFX'' #199. July 2010.</ref> Although Davies did not explicitly make this point in his subsequent ''[[Torchwood: Miracle Day]]'' scripts, neither did he allow the Rift to be central to that series, as it had been to previous ''Torchwood'' outings.
It was the final story for [[production designer]] [[Ed Thomas]].
In February 2013, Steven Moffat revealed that ''The Big Bang'' was likely his personal favourite of all the ''Doctor Who'' scripts he had written. He further revealed that the title was deliberate [[Sex|sexual]] innuendo, and referred to what happened just ''after'' the credits rolled. Though contemporary ''Bang'' viewers wouldn't have known it, [[TV]]: ''[[A Good Man Goes to War (TV story)|A Good Man Goes to War]]'' would later explain that River Song was conceived within minutes of the conclusion of the episode. Moffat therefore claimed that the story had "a filthy joke in the title only I knew about at the time".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h7VQrnMzjrU|title=Gallifrey One 2013 - Steven Moffat interview |author=[[Ed Stradling]]|date of source=20 February 2013|website name=YouTube|accessdate=20 February 2013}}</ref>

Time was a Doctor Who television story written by Steven Moffat for Comic Relief 2011. It was the second half of a two-part story that began with Space.

Synopsis[[edit] | [edit source]]

The Eleventh Doctor, Amy, and Rory are stuck in a space loop, trapping them in the TARDIS forever. Only one person can save them: another Amy Pond?

Plot[[edit] | [edit source]]

The new Amy explains to the Eleventh Doctor, Rory Williams and the other Amy that she is Amy from slightly in the future: she stepped into the TARDIS exterior, which has drifted slightly into the future, and it sent her into the TARDIS interior slightly in the past. The present Amy is confused and is told it's only what the future Amy was told when she was in the present Amy's place. Future Amy says that present Amy enters the exterior of the TARDIS after slapping Rory. Rory wonders why he must be slapped and the Doctor tells them this timeline must be maintained or they will end up with two Amys forever. Rory begins thinking about it. Amy, catching on to his train of thought, slaps him for the idea.

The Doctor rushes Amy to the police box, but Amy stops to compliment her future self's appearance. The Doctor thinks they're doomed and says, "Oh, this is how it ends: Pond flirting with herself. True love at last." He apologises to Rory in case he has hurt his feelings, but Rory has no problem with it as he was distracted by the two versions of his wife. The present Amy enters the box to become the future Amy, making there once again one Amy. Amy wonders if things are okay now, but the Doctor tells them that they are still trapped.

Another Amy appears through the interior TARDIS door again, with a second Rory in tow. The Doctor asks them why they entered and Rory tells him that he told them to and jumbles up his words explaining that he's about to tell the present Amy and Rory to enter the police box. Present Rory asks if he has to remember all of this, but he's told by future Rory it happens spontaneously. Amy flirts with herself again, but the Doctor tells her to stop and forces Amy and Rory into the police box. Amy wonders what they should do now, but the Doctor tells her and Rory to stay where they are to stave off further complication.

Rory asks the Doctor what he is doing. The Doctor explains that he is setting up a controlled temporal implosion to reset the TARDIS, but since he doesn't know which lever to pull, the entire TARDIS could explode. Amy chastises him for not knowing what to do, but the Doctor tells her that though he doesn't know now, he will in a moment. A second Doctor walks through the doors and says to pull the wibbly lever. The Doctor thanks himself, does so and enters the police box before it dematerialises.

The Doctor explains that everything is back to normal and there is no longer any danger of the localised time field imploding and destroying all causality. He adds, "But just in case...Pond, put some trousers on", before returning to work on the console. Amy glares at Rory, who can't find anything to say in his defence and walks off. Amy smiles and walks off.

Story notes[[edit] | [edit source]]

  • This minisode, along with Space, was written especially for Comic Relief 2011.
  • This episode is the fourth story to feature only the main cast.
  • This story was the first multi-part charity story since Dimensions in Time.
  • In an interview with Doctor Who Magazine, Edward Russell confirmed that, just like recent Children in Need specials, the two-part mini-serial was a "legitimate mini-story". (DWM 432)
  • The opening credits of both this episode and Space offer a rare, clean look at the opening titles including an unseen portion of the opening featuring a black void, slowly descending toward a light that leads into the time vortex.

Ratings[[edit] | [edit source]]

  • 10.26 million (BARB)

Filming locations[[edit] | [edit source]]

  • This episode was filmed entirely in the TARDIS set.

Production errors[[edit] | [edit source]]

  • As the Doctor begins to tell Amy and Rory to enter the Police Box, Amy's hand can be seen on the TARDIS door handle as she smiles at her double. The scene cuts to a wide shot in the middle of the Doctor's line and Amy's hand is suddenly at her side.
  • After the TARDIS dematerialises, the light from the window is still visible on the door.
