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

• The Original Cybermen will return.

4. Winston Churchill (Who will appear in part 1 or 2, according to an interview with Karen Gillan)
5. River Song (Who will appear)
6. Father Octavian and the Clerics (Since they got absorbed by the Cracks)

8. Tony, Nasreen, Mo, Elliot and Ambrose
9. Vincent van Gogh (Who will appear, according to an interview with Karen Gillan)
10. Craig Owens and Sophie
