It's no secret that TV shows and movies aren't usually filmed in story order. Sometimes, moments towards the end are among the first things captured, which is precisely what happened with The Angels Take Manhattan.

The Ponds think they've saved themselves when they jump off the top of Winter Quay, killing Rory twice in one night and creating a paradox that defeats the Angels.

This jump was filmed on 23 March 2012 – the very first day of recording for The Angels Take Manhattan.

Meanwhile, the climactic graveyard sequence was filmed a few weeks later on 19 April 2012, making that a very sad day in Doctor Who history indeed.
