Since the 2005 restart, love has saved the day on this many occasions: €˜The Doctor Dances,€™ €˜Fear Her€™, €˜Last of the Time Lords,€™ €˜Victory of the Daleks,€™ €˜Amy€™s Choice,€™ €˜The Lodger,€™ €˜A Christmas Carol,€™ €˜Night Terrors,€™ €˜Closing Time,€™ €˜The Wedding of River Song,€™ €˜The Doctor, the Widow and the Wardrobe€™ and €˜Hide.€™ So for now, it€™s probably best to avoid using this particular plotline if the episode is to stand out for the fans.

I am a history student and writer, pursuing a career in film and literature. I also love Star Wars, Doctor Who and many other film, TV and game franchises. It always interests me to hear what people have to say about films and TV shows, and I’m fascinated by new perspectives. I’d welcome any feedback and comments you might have as well!
