TEXT: RECAP OF SERIES 6 LONDON 5:02 PM, 22nd APRIL, 2011 EXT. LONDON, DAY This is a very different London; a steampunk London. The buildings are the same, but instead of the Underground, there are elevated steam rails. Cars get about attached to hot air balloons with propellers. MAN ON RADIO: And it's another beautiful day in London. There are reports of sunspot activity and solar flares causing interference across all radio signals so apologies for that. EXT. LONDON, HYDE PARK, DAY Children are laughing and playing as adults read the paper. One girl is given a sandwich by her mother. Above them, pterodactyls fly, shrieking. GIRL: Guys, look! (points at pterodactyls) The pterodactyls swoop down towards the people who run for cover. They pass a sign that reads "Pterodactyls are Vermin. Do Not Feed." EXT. LONDON STREET, DAY A Roman chariot waits for the light to turn green. A newspaper vendor is selling the Londinum Cotide. The headline reads "War of the Roses Enters Second Year". A TV in a shop window is playing a morning show interview with CHARLES DICKENS. MALE INTERVIEWER: So do you think you can top last year's Christmas Special? FEMALE INTERVIEWER: And can you tell us anything about it? DICKENS: Well, all I can say now is that it involves ghosts, and the past, the present and future, all at the same time... FEMALE INTERVIEWER: Oh, we love a ghost story. They all fake laugh. On a different channel, MERIDETH VIERA is announcing news headlines. VIERA: Crowds lined the Mall today as Holy Roman Emperor, Winston Churchill, returned to the Buckingham Senate on his personal mammoth... INT. SENATE, CHURCHILL'S OFFICE, DAY CHURCHILL
SUMMARY:
Understanding his death cannot be avoided, the Doctor gives invitations to Lake Silencio for Amy, Rory, River, and Canton to a Teselecta. However, the River in the astronaut suit refuses to kill him, causing the Earth to be thrown into a timeline where all of history is running at once. He is found by Amy who is able to remember the original universe due to the crack in her wall. The Doctor is taken to River, who is aware that if the two of them touch the correct time will resume. Amy realises who Rory is and kills Madame Kovarian for taking their child. The Doctor, believing the universe will collapse if they stay in the aborted timeline as River suggests, whispers something in River's ear and then marries her. They kiss, allowing the universe to return. Later, Amy and Rory are visited by River, who reveals that the Doctor had revealed to her that the Teselecta was impersonating him while he was safely inside it. Elsewhere, the Doctor is warned by Dorium that the question the Silence were attempting to prevent will be asked: "Doctor Who?"
