Space is a Doctor Who television story written by Steven Moffat for Comic Relief 2011. It is the first part of a two-part story.
Synopsis
The Doctor is doing repairs on the TARDIS with Rory's help, but thanks to Amy, they make a mistake that could leave them trapped in the TARDIS forever.
Plot
Amy tries to get the Doctor's attention while he fixes the TARDIS. She fails, but soon discovers that Rory is helping the Doctor with his routine repairs by installing thermo-couplers. However, Amy thinks that he is helping the Doctor fly the TARDIS. Rory and Amy soon start a small argument about Amy cheating on her driving test by wearing a skirt to distract her examiner; then, the lights go out. The Doctor asks Rory if he dropped a thermo coupler, which he apologizes for doing so. Amy also apologises. Confused, the Doctor asks why. Amy then points out that Rory was looking up her skirt through the TARDIS' glass floor. The Doctor can only respond, "Oh....Rory!"
The Doctor then turns on the emergency materialization, which will land the TARDIS in the nearest safe place available. The lights come back on, but reveal that the TARDIS has materialized inside itself. As a test to see if things are as bad as he believes them to be, the Doctor walks through the doors of the TARDIS inside the TARDIS, stepping in through the regular doors. Rory states how cool it is. The Doctor tells Rory its good thing he finds it amusing because they have caused a space loop that has now trapped them inside the TARDIS forever. Despite this, another Amy walks through the TARDIS doors...

Production errors
- When the Doctor steps "out" of the TARDIS, from the interior he closes it with his left hand pulling the door shut, but when we see him exit, he uses his right hand pulling the door handle.
Continuity
- This is the fourth TV story to be set entirely within the Doctor's TARDIS. The first was The Edge of Destruction, the second was Time Crash, while the thirdAmy's Choice takes place entirely within the TARDIS, but has settings outside of the TARDIS (but the Doctor, Amy and Rory stay within it).
- A similar space loop occured in DW: The Time Monster, when the Doctor's TARDIS was inside the Master's TARDIS, and the Master's TARDIS was inside the Doctor's TARDIS. In DW: Logopolis, the Master's TARDIS materialised within the Doctor's.
- Amy says "OK, kids. This is where it gets complicated." as she did when she was released from the Pandorica in DW: The Big Bang
- This story is the third TV story to feature only the main cast. The others are DW: The Edge of Destruction and Children in Need Special.
- This is the second multi-part charity TV story, the first being DW: Dimensions in Time.
- Rory asks the Doctor if he's ever seen Amy drive, to which the Doctor replies in the negative. The Doctor actually did briefly see Amy drive, albeit in a dream, in DW: Amy's Choice. In that episode, Amy drove herself and the Doctor into a house. Rory states that Amy did the same thing when he let her drive his car once.
- Amy indicates that she wore "this skirt" during her driving test, implying that the skirt belonged to her prior to joining the Doctor. In The Big Bang, Amy enters the TARDIS in her wedding dress. Therefore, either they stopped by her house off-screen to pick up her belongings, or some of her clothes remained on the TARDIS from her former travels in series five.
- What question Amy wanted to ask the Doctor is not revealed in this episode, but Steven Moffat has stated it will be addressed in the future.
- Moffat, in an interview with Doctor Who Magazine, confirmed that the two-part mini-episode, just like recent Children in Need specials, is considered canonical.
