-'''''The Rebel Flesh''''' was the fifth episode of [[Series 6 (Doctor Who)|series 6]] of ''[[Doctor Who]]''.
+'''''The Rebel Flesh''''' was the fifth episode of [[Series 6 (Doctor Who 2005)|series 6]] of ''[[Doctor Who]]''.
 Like [[Doppelgänger|many previous stories]], it saw [[the Doctor]] duplicated. It was the second time that the Eleventh Doctor was copied following ''[[The Eleventh Hour (TV story)|The Eleventh Hour]]''. It introduced [[the Flesh]] concept to the Whoniverse and showed the Doctor had an ulterior motive for wanting to get rid of Amy and Rory for a while.
-It marks yet another time the Doctor has tried to make peaceful negotiations with humans and another species but failed due to one side taking a life. This previously happened in ''[[Cold Blood (TV story)|Cold Blood]]'' of [[Series 5 (Doctor Who)|Series 5]].
+It marks yet another time the Doctor has tried to make peaceful negotiations with humans and another species but failed due to one side taking a life. This previously happened in ''[[Cold Blood (TV story)|Cold Blood]]'' of [[Series 5 (Doctor Who 2005)|Series 5]].
 It was notable for the first use of [[motion control camera]]s since ''[[The Mysterious Planet (TV story)|The Mysterious Planet]]''. It contained the first instance of motion control use on actors rather than inanimate models in ''Doctor Who'' history.

 Jimmy and Jennifer leave the chamber, as Buzzer calmly waves them off. Oddly, Buzzer is next seen walking down the corridor towards them; he says that he could claim workman's compensation as he ''did'' just have an accident in the workplace. Sternly, Jimmy points out just one acid suit costs a bomb. As they walk off, Jimmy tells Buzzer that if this causes him to stay another day due to the schedule being pushed back, he'll kill him again as it will make him miss his son's birthday. Back in the acid room, the first Buzzer's face dissolves in the pool of acid with a look of agony.
-In [[The Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]], the [[Eleventh Doctor]] scans [[Amy Pond|Amy]] for [[pregnancy]] and continues to get uncertain readings. At the same time, Amy and Rory are playing [[darts]] while listening to ''[[Supermassive Black Hole]]''. According to the scoreboard, Amy is winning and Rory is bad at the game. The Doctor turns off the music, asking Amy and [[Rory Williams|Rory]] if they'd like to go for [[fish and chips]]; they're for it. He says he'll drop them off and come back when they're done. Amy wonders what he'll be up to in the meantime. The Doctor states "other stuff." Amy says that they'll join him as there's no way he's ditching them.
