Story Notes

  • The title is a play on 'flesh and bone', a common idiom referring to a creature's anatomy, since most humans and animals are composed of flesh and a skeletal structure. The title also refers to the Weeping Angels' weakness of turning to stone whenever anyone looks at them. This was a rumoured title for the episode Gridlock.
  • In the trailer at the end of The Time of Angels it shows a crack - continuing the theme throughout the series. The crack appears to be growing, and upon finding it, the Amy Pond notes its similarity to the one on her bedroom wall from DW: The Eleventh Hour. The Doctor says of the crack, "That is extremely very not good."
  • A video clip on the official Doctor Who website shows that the Doctor gets the Weeping Angels to say "comfy chairs".
  • The Doctor finds out that time can be unwritten.
  • The time on the scanner that the Doctor holds says that Amy's day is her wedding day.
  • The Weeping Angels are seen moving for the first time. They are seen turning their heads when they begin to realise that Amy can't see them.
  • The date shown in the episode, 26/06/2010, is (if all episodes are not interrupted) the final episode date of Series 5.

Rumours

  • Amy and Rory will either marry each other or put it on hold at the end of the episode, and Rory will travel in the TARDIS at the end. This was proven false, but Rory will travel in the TARDIS in the next episode
