The Pandorica Opens will be the twelfth episode, and first in a dramatic two-part finale of Series 5.

Synopsis

A van Gogh painting ferried across thousands of years, communicating a disturbing prophecy to the Doctor, a message on the oldest cliff-face in the universe and a love that lasts a thousand years. In 102 AD England, Romans receive a surprise visit from Cleopatra. Nearby, Stonehenge conceals the Pandorica, a prison-box of legend. As it slowly unlocks from the inside, terrible forces gather in the heavens above. The fates are drawing close around the TARDIS. United, the Doctor's friends send him a warning, he deals with a message on a cliff, a mysterious box and a love story which spans over millennia. The Pandorica, which contains the most dangerous threat in the Universe, is opening. Only one thing is certain: "The Pandorica will open... silence will fall".

Rumours

  • Many fans believe Omega will return. This was proven false.
  • The Doctor himself is inside the Pandorica. River did say she killed the best man she ever knew. (DW: Flesh and Stone)
  • It is rumoured that either the Timoreen, the Ha'rik, or the Skarkish will appear – primarily because these were all listed as "new aliens" to appear in Series 5 and have not appeared yet meaning one of them could be inside the Pandorica. This was proven false.
  • According to the Radio Times, the Vincent van Gogh painting will be in Churchill's war bunker.[source needed] This was proven true.
  • If the Doctor's "Friends who unite to send him a terrible warning" are some characters seen through the series then it's possible that they are the following:
  1. Amy Pond (Who will appear)
  2. Rory Williams (Has been seen in trailers and pictures wearing a Roman uniform).
  3. Jeff and Mrs. Angelo
  4. Liz 10 (Who will appear in part 1 or 2, according to an interview with Karen Gillan)
  5. Winston Churchill (Who will appear in part 1 or 2, according to an interview with Karen Gillan)
  6. River Song (Who will appear)
  7. Father Octavian and the Clerics (Since they got absorbed by the Cracks)
  8. Eldane (Since he knows that the Doctor has greater losses to come)
  9. Tony, Nasreen, Mo, Elliot and Ambrose
  10. Vincent van Gogh (Who will appear, according to an interview with Karen Gillan)
  11. Craig Owens and Sophie.
  • It is believed that the enemies will form an alliance; this is supported by the screen-shots depicting many of the Doctor's enemies together but not fighting.

Dalek television stories
For the purposes of this list, a "Dalek story" is one in which one living, authentic Dalek plays a part within the confines of the story, outside of flashbacks to previous stories and cliffhangers that lead into the following story. For this reason, stories such as The Space Museum are not counted due to the Daleks' appearance being defined by their importance to following stories, while stories such as The Wheel in Space and The Waters of Mars are absent due to the Daleks' only contribution being references to past Dalek stories. Stories like The Wedding of River Song, Hell Bent, Once, Upon Time and The Vanquishers are also not included due to the Daleks' appearance being restricted to a single scene of no consequence to the plot of the story, while the TV movie is also absent due to the Daleks only being heard from off-screen.

For the purposes of this list, a "Cyberman story" is one in which one living, authentic Cyberman plays a part within the confines of the story, outside of flashbacks to previous stories and cliffhangers that lead into the following story.

Stories like Carnival of Monsters, A Good Man Goes to War and The Vanquishers are also not included due to the Cybermen's appearance being of little consequence to the plot of the story.
