If you’re craving a fix of timey-wimey sci-fi, look no further than The Big Bang, the head-scratching season finale from 2010. The Doctor is sealed in the Pandorica, Amy has been killed by an Auton-centurion duplicate of Rory, River is trapped in an exploding Tardis and, to cap it all, the cosmos collapses… Yet lead writer Steven Moffat demolishes these dramatic dead-ends with bamboozling brio and reboots the universe.
A stone Dalek comes to life in a museum, Amy meets her younger self, the Doctor goofs about with a mop and a fez, and the Ponds at last get spliced – with something simultaneously old, new, borrowed and blue turning up at their wedding.
About this programme
13/13. Part two of two. With the Tardis destroyed and the Doctor gone, there is only one person who can stop the whole universe collapsing - a scared girl who still believes in stars. Finale of Matt Smith and Karen Gillan's first run as the Doctor and Amy Pond, with Alex Kingston returning as River Song.
