The Doctor's Wife -- by Neil Gaiman

Starring: Matt Smith, Karen Gillan & Arthur Darvill

The Doctor receives a distress signal from an old friend. Could there really be another living Time Lord out there? Hopes raised, he follows the signal to a junkyard planet sitting upon a mysterious asteroid in a Bubble universe, populated by a very strange family.

The Doctor, Amy and Rory are given the warmest of welcomes by Auntie, Uncle and Nephew. But the beautiful and insane Idris greets them in a more unusual fashion -- what is she trying to tell the Doctor? As the Doctor investigates, he unwittingly puts his friends in the gravest danger.

Doctor Who belongs to the BBC.

You're also a Jekyll fan? Awesome! :D

[MrTARDISreviews]

@DobbyJunior Damn right! Jekyll was really good. The main reason for the clip though was because loads of other critics kept on praising the "kissing, only there's a winner" line for saying how original it was =P So it was mainly a "look guys, this is where it actually came from."

[slugcorp]

Did you get the black and white idea from me?

[MrTARDISreviews]

@slugcorp Black and white idea? What chu talkin' about? :P

[ScarletPro]

I agree, it wouldve been better as a two parter and then they could've made the ganger 2 parter 1 part

siran Jones also played the mona lisa in an episode of sja.

What did you think of the whole seeing more of the TARDIS interior? because I really liked it, it gave me a feeling of an actual ship rather than one room with steps that lead to the backstage of a TV set. Personally I'd like to see an episode where they get stuck in the TARDIS and we get to see all the kinds of rooms like the library, the swimming pool etc. Though I'm slightly worried that idea of being trapped in the TARDIS was already done in this episode. Anyway I agree with everything :)

I thought that this was the best episode last series. Reminded me of Neverwhere the BBC show Gaiman did back in the mid 90's, It was bloody awesome.

and AGAIN I have to comment (:

I think Matt Smith is a brilliant Doctor. He can very well pull of the happy, goofy and funny Doctor. However I do think that there is a certain aspect of the Doctor that he just can't pull off. The Powerful Lonely Timelord man that is sad and feels guilty about the loss of his entire people, yadiyadiyah. For instance in this episode he finds all the Cubes and well.. Nothing else happens. Maybe that's more due to the script but well..

I liked The Doctor's Daughter as well as The Doctor's Wife

I didn't think I would like Jenny, for instance, but I did; I thought, even though her character would need a lot of work she was 'worthy' to get a bit more into. However after the anticlimax of not letting her die, but letting her fly in to space, like her 'dad' they haven't done ANYTHING with it since then! That's the only really bad part about that episode

[simonross77]

Maybe Gaiman should write A Dr Who feature film???

[shadowwolf9955]

watch the episode again and listen when the doctor fixes nephews voice thing and the distress call starts playing that sounds exactly like Christopher Eccleston

[Kaagh178]

Thankfully I'm not into Soaps at all, so to that end I don't recognise Suranne Jones from Coronation Street. I do know her however from The Sarah Jane Adventures story 'Mona Lisa's Revenge' where she portrayed Mona Lisa.
