The Weeping Angels are still out there in the deep, dark wood and something new is wiping out Father Octavian's soldiers. A crack in the wall that looks like a crooked smile …


 * The Vampires of Venice
 * "You owe Casanova a chicken?"
 * Amy and Rory are getting married, so the Doctor decides to give them a wedding present. He takes them to the most romantic place in the universe: Venice.

Can the travellers survive their visit to the House of Calvierri?
