The Doctor's Wife was the fourth episode in the sixth series of Doctor Who. It saw the TARDIS personified in human-form.
Synopsis
The Doctor receives a distress signal from an old friend. Could there really be another living Time Lord out there? Hopes raised, he follows the signal to a junkyard planet sitting upon a mysterious asteroid in a Bubble universe, populated by a very strange family, as the time-travelling drama continues.
The Doctor, Amy and Rory are given the warmest of welcomes by Auntie, Uncle and Nephew. But the beautiful and insane Idris greets them in a more unusual fashion – what is she trying to tell the Doctor? As the Doctor investigates, he unwittingly puts his friends in the gravest danger. [1]

Story notes
- This episode was originally episode three, but was changed for unknown reason.
- During an interview with Neil Gaiman on BBC breakfast he revealed that his episode is "very spooky" and that fans "are likely to be biting their nails off by the end".
- On his blog, writer Neil Gaiman released a short conversation between Amy and the Doctor that did not meet the final cut in the episode he wrote[6]
Ratings
to be added
Myths
- Viewers will see more of the Doctor's TARDIS.[7] We saw more corridors and the secondary control room.
- There are rumours this story will be set in a giant doll's house[8] this also seems more likely due to the working title of his story being "The House of Nothing". This was false. House was the planet.
- This story will contain something - or someone - that we have not seen since The War Games.[9] Correct, we saw a hypercube.
- The Ninth/Tenth Doctor's TARDIS will appear.[10] Correct, it appeared as a secondary control room.
- Suranne Jones' Idris is the Doctor's wife.[11]Incorrect, she was the TARDIS in human form.
