* ''[[The Angels Take Manhattan (TV story)|The Angels Take Manhattan]]'' implied that Amy and Rory had been sent from the cemetery to circa 1938, the era to which Rory was first sent.
* ''The Angels Take Manhattan'' also implied that Amy and Rory remained in or about [[New York City]]. ''P.S.'' confirms this. Anthony's sister was in New York during their parents' lifetimes, both as adult [[River Song]] in the summer of [[1969]], and as young Melody and infant Mels in January [[1970]].

* The Doctor and [[The Doctor's TARDIS|his TARDIS]] were momentarily in Manhattan twice during Rory's and Amy's temporal exile: once carrying the [[First Doctor]] in 1966 at the [[Empire State Building]]'s observation deck; and again in July 1969, piloted by the Eleventh Doctor and carrying Rory's and Amy's younger selves on the side of a skyscraper under construction. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Chase (TV story)|The Chase]]'', ''[[Day of the Moon (TV story)|Day of the Moon]]'')

* Rory says that he realizes "having a grandson who's older than you is so far beyond weird". Rory grew up with his own daughter and also knew her as a woman considerably older than himself. Even in their youths, Mels was already several years older than Rory and Amy, despite appearing to be their age.

P.S. was a proposed DVD extra that was envisioned as a live action coda to the events of the September 2012 portion of series 7. According to its writer, however, it was cancelled when an actor's availability fell through.[1] Its storyboards were then animated, and narration was commissioned from Arthur Darvill. Ultimately the scene was made public by the BBC as a webcast.

Synopsis

Brian Williams receives an emotional letter from his son.

Plot

The Doctor leaves with Amy and Rory after having dinner with them and Brian. A week later there is a knock at the door and Brian answers it. An American man stands there; he passes Brian a letter and walks in. Brian sits in the lounge and reads the letter revealing it is from his son Rory and that he and Amy had a wonderful life in New York, "fifty years before [Rory] was born," and adopted a son who turns out to be Anthony.
