Night Terrors was the ninth episode in the sixth series of Doctor Who.

Synopsis

The Doctor receives a distress call from the scariest place in the Universe: a child’s bedroom. Every night George lies awake, terrorised by every fear imaginable – fears that live in his bedroom cupboard. His parents are getting desperate – George needs a doctor. Fortunately for George, his pleas for help break through the barriers of all time and space and the Doctor makes a house call. But allaying his fears won’t be easy. George’s monsters are real.

Story notes

  • This episode had the working titles: What are Little Boys Made of? and House Call.[1]
  • This was originally going to be the fourth episode of the series, but was moved to the second half as Steven Moffat felt that the first half was "too dark". This necessitated minor changes to the episode. A scene with Madame Kovarian was removed, and the ending with the data file from Let's Kill Hitler was added.
  • The scene where the Doctor and Alex are being sucked into the cupboard is very similar to the movie Poltergeist where the daughter is sucked into the spirit realm through her bedroom cupboard.
  • When the Doctor knocks on the door to address Alex, a ring can be seen on his wedding finger. Whether this is a production error or a hint at a future episode remains to be seen.
