The Doctor, the Widow and the Wardrobe (TV story): Difference between revisions

* This is the first ''[[Doctor Who]]'' story of the [[Matt Smith]] era where neither [[Karen Gillan]] nor [[Arthur Darvill]]'s names appear in the opening credits. [[Claire Skinner]]'s name appears instead. It is the only episode during Gillan's tenure that this occurs.

* At the end of the episode, [[Amy Pond]] points a [[water pistol]] at the [[Eleventh Doctor]] when he shows up on her doorstep. Previously, she has twice aimed a gun at her daughter, [[River Song]] ([[TV]]: ''[[The Impossible Astronaut (TV story)|The Impossible Astronaut]]'', ''[[A Good Man Goes to War (TV story)|A Good Man Goes to War]]'') and at [[Silent]]s. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Wedding of River Song (TV story)|The Wedding of River Song]]'') The [[Tenth Doctor]] protected [[Donna Noble]] from the [[Sibylline Sisterhood|Soothsayers]], one of whom was played by [[Karen Gillan]], with a water pistol. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Fires of Pompeii (TV story)|The Fires of Pompeii]]'')

* This was the last regular episode (as opposed to minisode or online prequel) to use the opening credits sequence introduced in ''[[The Eleventh Hour (TV story)|The Eleventh Hour]]''. The next full-length episode aired, ''[[Asylum of the Daleks (TV story)|Asylum of the Daleks]]'', introduced a substantially modified version of the sequence, with new cast type fonts and a new colour scheme, and modifications to the series logo.

* [[Matt Smith]]'s iconic hairstyle for the Eleventh Doctor had to be contained somewhat in order to fit in the helmet of the spacesuit he was wearing in this episode. A behind-the-scenes photo shows this resulting in a bizarre style of "helmet hair".
