When confronting Prisoner Zero in one of its disguises, he is told 'The Pandorica will open and silence will fall.' Amy (Amelia) joins the Doctor.....
Some fun effects at the start kick off the new series in big style. The Attraxi ships were good too.
Great to see Annette Crosbie, legendary actress, and even better to see Tom Hopper. I know Olivia Coleman is in everything but she is a splendid actress, she's great, and the hospital looks very creepy when it's been trashed too.
You can see the changes already, it has a different feel, even the credits are new (a definite improvement.) Matt has big shoes to fill, Tennant had made the role his own, a promising start from the fresh faced young actor, he's quirky and has a definite energy, he's very likable. Amy's fun start as a kissogram was funny. Very funny in parts just lacking the emotional attachments that Tennant was able to inject. Some very good dialogue, particularly from Coleman. 7/10
