Doctor Who 32.07 Amy’s Choice (2010, Science Fiction Adventure) – 8/10 TV review

Cast / crew Matt Smith: The Doctor Karen Gillan: Amy Pond Writer: Simon Nye Producer: Tracie Simpson Director: Catherine Morshead Arthur Darvill: Rory Toby Jones: Dream Lord

Doctor Who 32.07 Amy’s Choice (2010) Five years after the Venice outing, the Doctor returns to the village where Amy is married and expecting a child. Then all three of them fall asleep and wake up on the TARDIS. 8/10 So if last week’s vampires were typically useless how do we improve on that? How about lawnmower wielding OAPs that have an eye in their mouth that turns you to dust? This is a snappy, imaginative, interesting episode with two sets of fun baddies: the afore-mentioned malevolent pensioners and the Dream Lord played with charismatic glee by Toby Jones. It gets the viewer involved by asking the characters and the audience the same question – which world is the real one? – and distracts the audience from the first answer that will have popped into their head (SPOILERthey’re both not real) by using a powerful emotional situation involving our heroine being told to choose which of her “boys” she would ultimately pick. This Doctor Who episode contains unpleasant scenes. Links Previous: The Vampire of Venice Next: The Hungry Earth / Cold Blood
