Doctor Who: 20 Things You Didn't Know About The Angels Take Manhattan
7. The Epilogue That (Almost) Never Was
In The Power of Three, Rory's dad Brian makes the Doctor promise that he'll bring his son and daughter-in-law back safely. The Time Lord agrees, only to betray that trust one adventure later.
Poor Brian had his entire world turned upside down with seemingly no explanation... that is, until you watch P.S.
Premiering online shortly after The Angels Take Manhattan's broadcast, P.S. is a short animated scene of Brian receiving a letter from Amy and Rory, delivered by their adopted son.
This sequence – which was written by Chris Chibnall – was supposed to be filmed in live-action, but Brian's actor, Mark Williams, was unavailable for the shoot. Rather than scrapping it entirely, the storyboards were animated and Arthur Darvill was brought in to narrate, resulting in a heartfelt epilogue to the Ponds' journey.
