Synopsis
When Amy is woken in the middle of the night by the TARDIS telephone, she learns the Doctor carries on a very active social and adventuring life while his companions are asleep.

She wants to have a serious conversation with the Doctor. The Doctor calls for Rory to come deal with her emotions.

Production errors

 * When the TARDIS phone rings, no one is standing at the TARDIS console. When it cuts to Amy answering the phone, she is standing in a position that was vacant in the previous shot.
 * The water level of the goldfish bowl varies from shot to shot. Its lowest level is the close-angle shot of the bowl as the Doctor addresses the goldfish.

Continuity

 * The opening shot of the TARDIS interior as the phone rings is similar to the opening shot for the prequel to DW: Let's Kill Hitler.
 * Amy wears a nightie and and dressing gown ensemble, similar to that seen in The Eleventh Hour and The Beast Below)
 * The TARDIS phone was also called by another British historical figure, Winston Churchill. (DW: The Beast Below, DW: Victory of the Daleks)
 * The Doctor denies sneaking away at night to be with River Song, which he subsequently contradicts when Amy asks how River's doing. The Doctor spending his nights with River is the theme of four of the five "Night and the Doctor" shorts and is also touched upon towards the end of DW: The Wedding of River Song.

For the Doctor
Placement for this story for the Doctor, Amy and Rory is difficult as no indication of when it takes place is provided. However given Amy's unease, and given the question she asks the Doctor during "Good Night", the following "Night and the Doctor" short, one can presume the following placement.
 * This story occurs after: DW: Last Night
 * This story occurs some time before: DW: Good Night

For River Song

 * This story occurs at some indeterminate point after: DW: Last Night
