Doctor Who: 20 Things You Didn't Know About The Angels Take Manhattan
16. Grayle’s Grim Alternate Fate
When Amy and the Doctor first find River and Rory in the past, they've been captured by Julius Grayle, an avid collector of artefacts.
While his fate was left ambiguous in the final cut, there were initially plans to show what happened to him, and they weren't very nice.
One early draft had him banished back to a workshop, where he was forced to make the very items he had spent his life collecting.
A second idea was to show him being sent to the past, and then have him turn up in one of his own paintings. This painting would've revealed that the Angels had sent him back to the Renaissance, where he was enslaved.
This second idea was filmed, but was dropped during editing.
