The Angels Take Manhattan is the fifth episode of the seventh series
of the revived British science fiction television series Doctor Who,
which was first broadcast on BBC One on 29 September 2012. It is the
last in the first block of episodes in the seventh series, followed by
the 2012 Christmas special "The Snowmen". The episode was written by
head writer Steven Moffat and directed by Nick Hurran.In the episode,
alien time traveller the Doctor (Matt Smith) takes his companions Amy
Pond (Karen Gillan) and her husband Rory Williams (Arthur Darvill) to
Central Park. While Rory goes to get coffee, recurring monsters the
Weeping Angels send Rory back to 1938, where he is reunited with River
Song (Alex Kingston), Amy and Rory's daughter. Amy and the Doctor
attempt to rescue Rory, but the Doctor realises along the way that
this adventure will be his last with Amy and Rory. Actors Gillan and
Darvill both departed the series during this episode.Amy's departure
from the series was a compromise between Gillan and Moffat. Moffat
wrote several endings and situations for the couple, eventually
deciding to incorporate the Weeping Angels. Despite being Amy and
Rory's last episode, it was not the last episode Gillan and Darvill
filmed. Production took place in April 2012, with location filming in
Wales and a small crew filming in the United States in Central Park.
"The Angels Take Manhattan" was watched by 7.82 million viewers in the
UK and received positive reviews, though critics noted some plot holes
and other logical issues.
