The God Complex (TV story) was the eleventh episode in the sixth series of Doctor Who.
Synopsis
The Doctor, Amy and Rory investigate a hotel of horror where repeat business is low but the body count is high... A mighty monster stalks the corridors and the rooms hold visions of Angels, apes and creepy clowns. Who - or what - has brought them to this place? And can the Doctor solve the mystery before the residents check out in grisly style?[1]

References
- Joe sings "Here comes a candle to light you to bed, here comes a chopper to chop off your head". This is from the centuries-old nursery rhyme Oranges and Lemons.
Story notes
- At the time of the script read-through, Lucy Hayward's name was "Lucy Miller". (CON: Heartbreak Hotel) It was ostensibly changed so as to avoid conflict with Lucie Miller, the long-term audio companion of the Eighth Doctor.

Myths
- The Face of Boe would appear. This is due to the trailer including a close-up of a Boe-like eye. This ended up being the minotaur creature.
- The Weeping Angels would be the villains. They make a cameo, but they aren't the villains.
