Things to look out for...
 

DOCTOR WHO FOLKLORE This episode features a ever-present voice, booming "The silence will fall". Speculation that this voice is either (1) the First Doctor or (2) the Black Guardian.

DOCTOR WHO FOLKLORE In forming a coalition, the Doctor has been forced into a trap by the (new) Daleks, Cybermen, Judoon, Sycorax, Sontaran, Hoix, Weevils, Zygons, Terileptils, Blowfish, Atraxi, Draconians, Drahvins, Haemo-Goth, Nestene, Slitheen Family, Silurian amongst others.

PRODUCTION NOTES BBC WALES' DOCTOR WHO drama is one of six television/film productions to film within Stonehenge.

PRODUCTION NOTES Christopher Ryan returns as another cloned Sontaran Commander; Stark.

CONTINUTY ERRORS The seemingly impregnable Pandorica wall seems to "wobble" as Amy leans away from it as she diverts the attention of the Cyber weapon.
