Story notes

  • This episode was incorrectly entitled Cyber War and Enemies of a Time Lord.
  • Many old enemies have been confirmed to appear in the episode, whether their to play an enemy part is still to be confirmed. The list of enemies include the Daleks, the Cybus Cybermen, the Sontarans, the Judoon, the Hoix, the Weevils, the Uvodni, the Sycorax, the Silurians, the Autons, the Roboform and the Blowfish. [11]
  • Amy Pond's mother will appear, played by actress Karen Westwood[12]. Her Aunt Sharon will also appear, played by Susan Vilder.
  • Some currently non-public released (due to legal reasons) pictures show Rory in roman armor, same same pictures that show the above enemies to be returning.
  • The title is most likely a reference to the unidentified explosion on 26/06/2010. (DW: Flesh and Stone)
    • Both the date of the in-universe 'unidentified explosion' and the real-world date of broadcast is also 26/06/2010. This is most likely intentional.

Rumours

  • The Original Cybermen will return.
  • Omega will return.
  • The Big Bang is caused by the explosion of the Heart of the TARDIS.
  • The TARDIS will be destroyed, as the Doctor pulls what appears to be a piece of the TARDIS' police notice sign out of the crack in Template:DW. Maybe the TARDIS that the Doctor is rumoured to design in Template:DW is destroyed, as it could be featured in Template:DW 2.
  • It is rumoured that all of the enemies confirmed by pictures to appear in 'Story notes' are beings that were absorbed by the cracks, and that somehow they have all come back through because of the Pandorica opening. This could also explain the Silurians appearing, as there was a crack near their civilization. This could mean the Weeping Angels would make an appearance due to getting absorbed by a crack, and possibly Saturnynians, although none of the existing spoilers mention either race. This theory would also explain Rory's apparent reappearance. This is further fueled by the fact that spoilers mentioned many of the enemies being in what they call the Pandorica Chamber benath Stonehenge.
  • In DW: Flesh and Stone, when Amy had her eyes shut, the Doctor reappered with his previous lost coat on and told Amy to 'remember'. Fans have speculated that the Doctor here is a Doctor from the future coming back to give a warning to Amy. The Doctor there would possibly coming from this story.
  • In the City of the Daleks The Doctor states that the Eye of Time may have been the cause of The Big Bang. As the adventure games have been confirmed as canonical, it is possible this is another thread in the season long arc, concluding in 'The Big Bang'
  • The Doctor's enemies will throw him into the Pandorica, as one of the released pictures show romans pulling him to a mysterious, large mountment believed to be the entrence to the Pandorica, as a few of his enemies stand and watch him helplessly struggle to escape (its possible that as the cracks, the box need a complicated space and time event and the races want to try and prevent the boxs opening). It is also rumoured that something very bad (so bad that "silence will fall" when the Pandorica opens) is locked away in the Pandorica, and could even be the Doctor's future self if the former mentioned really happens.

Dalek television stories
For the purposes of this list, a "Dalek story" is one in which one living, authentic Dalek plays a part within the confines of the story, outside of flashbacks to previous stories and cliffhangers that lead into the following story. For this reason, stories such as The Space Museum are not counted due to the Daleks' appearance being defined by their importance to following stories, while stories such as The Wheel in Space and The Waters of Mars are absent due to the Daleks' only contribution being references to past Dalek stories. Stories like The Wedding of River Song, Hell Bent, Once, Upon Time and The Vanquishers are also not included due to the Daleks' appearance being restricted to a single scene of no consequence to the plot of the story, while the TV movie is also absent due to the Daleks only being heard from off-screen.
