Howling:The Pandorica Opens SFX Teasers

The Spoilers

 * 1) Steven Moffat’s on top form with a brilliantly crafted episode – the perfect start to a two-parter.
 * 2) The Doctor and Amy visit the oldest planet in the universe, where the first words in history have a familiar ring to them.
 * 3) The stakes are every bit as high as in an RTD season finale.
 * 4) Characters from earlier in the series make surprise appearances before the opening titles – and we’re not just talking about the series recap.
 * 5) There’s something funny going on at Stonehenge.
 * 6) If you thought “The Lodger” looked like a money-saving episode, you soon realise where all that spare cash went.
 * 7) There’s a scene in a bar rather reminiscent of the Star Wars cantina.
 * 8) There’s an armada of alien spacecraft.
 * 9) The Doctor gets to deliver one of his “Get out of here!” speeches.
 * 10) There’s a brilliant scare involving a human skull.
 * 11) You could market an entire range of action figures on the back of this episode alone.
 * 12) Amy’s engagement ring is crucial.
 * 13) It’ll make you want to go back and watch the whole series again.
 * 14) Someone other than the Doctor pilots the TARDIS.
 * 15) The Doctor and Amy face a foe reminiscent of fembots.
 * 16) There’s a fantastic nod to The Thing.
 * 17) The Pandorica does indeed open.
 * 18) It also closes.
 * 19) The episode ends in a cliffhanger so devilish that it seems utterly inescapable. It’s going to be a very, very long week.
 * 20) 26 June 2010 is a very important date indeed – and not just because it’s the day of the series finale.
