Hidden Away / Facts

 * The Cybermean left to guard the Pandorica was chopped up by a Celt, the wiring contained in the mask allowed it to scan for life – that’s how it found Amy and it was able to detect and fire a poisoned dart through its mouth in its objective to find a new head.
 * One nights filming at Stonehenge was one of the most expensive locations ever used in the series. The real stones stand seven metres tall and are over 2000 years old. Replica stones only three metres tall were made in two weeks of fibreglass on wooden frames and referred to by the crew as ‘Foamhenge’. These were used to film all of the Doctor’s speech scene.
 * According to the back cover facts/Eleventh Doctor face mask – the Doctor “has a very smelly two-headed godmother” !?
