The Doctor is locked in the perfect prison while Amy, Rory and River Song are being hunted down across America by the FBI. With the help of new friend and FBI-insider Canton, they are reunited to share their memories. The world is occupied by an alien force that controls humanity through post-hypnotic suggestion, and no one can be trusted.
Our heroes embarked on an apollo mission tonight as Series 6 of Doctor Who continued, and there were shocks aplenty as their US adventure reached its thrilling conclusion…
Episode one’s cliffhanger saw us all holding our breath as Amy shared a life-changing revelation, and part two (as part two’s often do!) picked up from right where we left off, and from then on it was non stop action as Earth faced a threat from a terrifying force.
Three months later, the Doctor was locked up in the perfect prison and his friends were alone, terrified and on the run across America. It seemed that nothing or no one could break the Silence as they controlled humanity through post-hypnotic suggestion. Of course, the new series has only just begun, and with 5 other episodes to get through this spring, things were eventually wrapped up and the TARDIS team managed to save the day, aided – as one often is – by Neil Armstrong’s foot, and be back in time for tea.
The Day of the Moon has dawned, and as the sun doth set on the Doctor’s dapple in the desert, we want to know what you thought of the latest episode. Do you think it was a worthy conclusion to the opening two-parter, or do we need to speak to Houston about a problem? Did its momentous cliffhanger result in you screaming at the television? Leave your mark in the comments below (the good, the bad and the ugly) before you forget!

Ahoy there, mateys! As the Doctor and his Stetson ride off into the desert horizon, it’s time to cast our mind’s yonder to next week’s episode, The Curse of the Black Spot!
When the Doctor, Amy and Rory find themselves marooned onboard a pirate ship whose crew is being attacked by a mysterious and beautiful sea creature, they must join forces with the implacable Captain Avery to uncover the truth behind the pirates’ supernatural fears. That is, if they themselves don’t fall under the Siren’s spell…
The Curse of the Black Spot will air Saturday 7th May on BBC One at 6:15pm.
Regarding the scale of the opening US two-parter, which concludes tonight, Matt said: “It broadens the scale and makes the show epic”, and Karen agreed: “The shots that we got from a helicopter, I just can’t believe that it’s British TV.” About the series as a whole, Arthur added: “The ambition has increased. Every episode feels like a movie”.
“One of the exciting things about this series is that we find out who River Song is, and what she means,” Matt teased. “The pay off’s really good, and I think people will be pleased about who she is. It’s mad. Basically Steven’s living out his male fantasies through Alex. He gives her the great entrances, and just makes her a smoking chick.”
Karen continued: “I just can’t wait for people to find out who she is so I can talk about it, because it’s just so good. It’s gonna affect Amy in ways that you can’t even imagine…”
