Story Notes

 * According to Steven Moffat on the 30th March 2010 edition of the BBC Radio 4 programme, Front Row, the title of this episode was supplied by his son, Joshua.


 * The title is a play on 'flesh and bone', a common idiom referring to a creature's anatomy, since most humans and animals are composed of flesh and a skeletal structure. The title also refers to the Weeping Angels' weakness of turning to stone whenever anyone looks at them. This was a rumoured title for the episode Gridlock.


 * In the trailer at the end of The Time of Angels it shows a crack - continuing the theme throughout the series. The crack appears to be growing, and upon finding it, the Amy Pond notes its similarity to the one on her bedroom wall from DW: The Eleventh Hour. The Doctor says of the crack, "That is extremely very not good."
 * A video clip on the official Doctor Who website shows that the Doctor gets the Weeping Angels to say "comfy chairs".

Rumours Proved False

 * It is possible the Weeping Angels might escape. This was proved false. They were sucked into the Crack
 * Rory will travel in the TARDIS with the Doctor and Amy at the end. This is very likely as the next episode will have the Doctor take Amy and Rory for a romantic break possibly at the beginning. This was proved false. He will travel with them in the next episode.
 * Amy and Rory will either marry each other or put it on hold at the end of the episode. This was proved false.
