Doctor Who: Amy's Choice

An episode more for the thinking than action, though with plenty of great jokes thrown in. There is no way to write about this episode without spoilers!

It does hark back to the brain-twisters of Hartnell's stories - I was reminded of "The Edge of Destruction" and "The Celestial Toyroom". Not to say this ep was a copy - oh, no, this was a tale that reminded me of them. Of course, the key point of the story is about Amy's choice, in a funny kind of way. That was the obvious thing, but the others had choices, too.

But it was really about dreams: how they work, perhaps, and how we don't really know that much about them. I liked the way it knocked the Doctor about, that it was Amy again who realised... except... well. That is a massive spoiler.

Did anyone else spot what the Old People's Home was called. Sarn. Neat.
