Space Florida was a place visited by the Eleventh Doctor and Amy Pond around a week before they visited Planet One. According to the Doctor, the beach had automatic sand which cleaned up any rubbish and lolly sticks that had been left on it.
After flying the Pandorica into the exploding TARDIS, the Doctor's life rewound. He saw younger versions of himself and Amy in the TARDIS, one week earlier, during their journey to Space Florida. The present Doctor called out to the past version of Amy, who turned but did not see him. (TV: The Pandorica Opens, The Big Bang)
The Doctor and Amy later visited Space Florida again, this time with Amy's husband Rory Williams. However, Rory only held the coats and drank an orange juice while watching the Doctor and Amy dance. (PROSE: Dead of Winter)
Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]
- The beach having automatic sand was originally to be used by Steven Moffat in his episode Silence in the Library, before the short scene was cut.
- There is a real organisation called Space Florida. It is "an Independent Special District of the State of Florida, created by Chapter 331, Part II, Florida Statutes, for the purposes of fostering the growth and development of a sustainable and world-leading space industry in Florida."
