=== Part 1 ===
=== Scene 1 ===
[[Amy Pond|Amy]] asks the [[Eleventh Doctor]] many questions without pausing: how does [[The Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]] retain its air supply? Why did he label a time machine "police box"? Where are the other windows which are on the exterior of the TARDIS? What is a police box and is the Doctor a policeman? Has he seen his haircut? Shouldn't he change the bulb on top the TARDIS? She also thinks the box is made of wood and his bow tie is a cry for help.
[[Amy Pond|Amy]] asks the [[Eleventh Doctor]] many questions without pausing: how does [[The Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]] retain its air supply? Why did he label a time machine "police box"? Where are the other windows which are on the exterior of the TARDIS? What is a police box and is the Doctor a policeman? Has he seen his haircut? Does he ever need to change the bulb on top the TARDIS? She also thinks the box is made of wood and his bow tie is a cry for help.


The Doctor answers most of these questions. Amy asks again if he's an alien. The Doctor says that, from his perspective, she's the alien. Amy wonders if the Doctor is a space squid or a tiny slug zipped in a human suit, but the Doctor dismisses her theories, stating he's as human as he appears. Amy admits she's done with her questions, but the Doctor tells her she's just begun; he throws a switch on the TARDIS console, opens the door and show her outer space.

=== Part 2 ===
=== Scene 2 ===
At midnight, 26 June 2010, after almost being seduced by Amy, the Doctor forces her back into the TARDIS. She leans on the console with an expectant gaze directed at the Doctor, who ignores it and pulls the door release lever next to her to lock the TARDIS doors.

*When asked why the TARDIS looks like a police box, the Doctor explains to Amy in detail how the [[chameleon circuit]] scans the surroundings upon materialisation, decides on the best disguise, but then disguises the craft as a 1963 police box anyway.

*This story joins a handful of television stories that are entirely set within [[the Doctor's TARDIS]], the first ''[[The Edge of Destruction (TV story)|The Edge of Destruction]]'' was broadcast in [[1964]], however the entirely TARDIS-set TV stories have primarily been a post-2005 phenomena the format being used in short-form "minisodes" or other short format stories such as the Children in Need specials; [[Children in Need Special]] set after ''[[The Parting of the Ways (TV story)|The Parting of the Ways]]'' and ''[[Time Crash (TV story)|Time Crash]]''. Alternatively these short format stories have been, like this story produced specially for the DVD/Blu-ray releases; ''[[Good Night (TV story)|Good Night]]'' and ''[[Bad Night (TV story)|Bad Night]]''.

=== Scene 1 ===
*This scene immediately follows [[TV]]: ''[[The Eleventh Hour]]'' and immediately precedes [[TV]]: ''[[The Beast Below]]''.
* At the end of this mini-episode, the Doctor pushes Amy out into (presumably) an [[air corridor]] in space. Amy is still floating outside the TARDIS, with the Doctor tethering her from floating away, in [[TV]]: ''[[The Beast Below]]''.

=== Scene 2 ===
*This scene follows from [[TV]]: ''[[Flesh and Stone]]'', and immediately precedes  [[TV]]: ''[[The Vampires of Venice]]''.

* Amy continues her attempts to seduce the Doctor from the previous scene in her bedroom. ([[TV]]: ''[[Flesh and Stone (TV story)|Flesh and Stone]]'')
* The TARDIS travels from Amy's bedroom, at midnight, 26 June 2010, ([[TV]]: ''[[Flesh and Stone (TV story)|Flesh and Stone]]'') to a local pub on the prior evening. Sunlight is still flooding the pub when the Doctor fetches Rory in [[TV]]: ''[[The Vampires of Venice (TV story)|The Vampires of Venice]]''

* The Doctor's sentiments about having become blasé about travelling throughout space and time are echoed by Amy, a decade into her companionship, in ''[[Dinosaurs on a Spaceship (TV story)|Dinosaurs on a Spaceship]]''. Likewise, she and Rory adopt the Doctor's fondness for seeing his less experienced, less jaded companions' view of his world, as shown when the three watch [[Brian Williams (Dinosaurs on a Spaceship)|Brian Williams]] marvelling at the Earth from high above it while silently enjoying his afternoon tea in the same episode.
* When asked if the prior companions were old or young, the Doctor asserts that everyone is young when compared to him. Jack Harkness, however, was more than twice the Doctor's age in ''[[The Stolen Earth (TV story)|The Stolen Earth]]'' / ''[[Journey's End (TV story)|Journey's End]]'' and their brief encounter in ''[[The End of Time (TV story)|End of Time]]'', having aged 1,982 years in ''[[Adam (TV story)|Adam]]'', on top of the 110 years he waited from before ''[[Fragments (TV story)|Fragments]]'' until the Doctor's return in ''[[End of Days (TV story)|End of Days]]''/''[[Utopia (TV story)|Utopia]]''. The next day (Earth's perspective), [[Rory Williams]] would also be over two millennia old when his [[Auton Rory|Auton]] timeline merged with his human timeline, leaving human Rory with both sets of memories. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Big Bang (TV story)|The Big Bang]]'', ''[[Bad Night (TV story)|Bad Night]]'', et al.)
