 *  The Lodger
 * "Has anyone ever told you that you're a bit weird?"
 * Colchester, 2010. Life at 798 Aickman Road is very quiet. Craig lives alone and the man in the flat above keeps himself to himself. But when the Doctor moves into Craig's spare room all hell breaks loose. What is lurking at the top of the stairs? Where is Amy Pond? And what does the cat think about all this?


 * The Pandorica Opens
 * "Remember every black day I ever stopped you ..."
 * The Doctor and Amy follow a trail of clues through time to Stonehenge in 102AD. There they find the Pandorica, a mythical prison-box that according to legend contains the most terrifying warrior in the universe. But why is it on Earth? And whose spaceships are massing in the sky above Wiltshire?
