NuWho - Series 6, Episode 9 - Night Terrors (Season 32, Story 219)

====================================
Quotes
====================================
"Please save me from the monsters. Please save me from the monsters. Please save me from the monsters." ~ George

The 11th Doctor: Haven't done this in a while.
Amy: Haven't done what? What are you doing?
The 11th Doctor: Making a house call.

"That's what it's called. Pantaphobia. Not a fear of pants though, if that's what you're thinking. It's a fear of everything. Including pants, I suppose, in that case." ~ The Eleventh Doctor

"We're dead, aren't we. The lift fell and we're dead.  We're dead. Again." ~ Rory

"Great. Reading's great. You like stories, George? Yeah? Me, too. When I was your age, about, ooo, a thousand years ago, I loved a good bedtime story. The Three Little Sontarans. The Emperor Dalek's New Clothes. Snow White And The Seven Keys To Doomsday, eh? All the classics." ~ The Eleventh Doctor

"No! No, no, no, no, no. You don't want to do that. Because George's monsters are real." ~ The Eleventh Doctor

"I'm not just a professional. I'm the Doctor. It means I've come a long way to get here, Alex. A very long way. George sent a message. A distress call, if you like. Whatever's inside that cupboard is so terrible, so powerful, that it amplified the fears of an ordinary little boy across all the barriers of time and space. Through crimson stars and silent stars and tumbling nebulas like oceans set on fire. Through empires of glass and civilizations of pure thought, and a whole, terrible, wonderful universe of impossibilities. You see these eyes? They're old eyes. And one thing I can tell you, Alex. Monsters are real." ~ The Eleventh Doctor

"Monsters. Yeah, well, that's what I do. Breakfast, dinner and tea. Fight the monsters. So this, this is just an average day at the office for me." ~ The Eleventh Doctor

"Tick tock goes the clock, and all the years they fly. Tick tock and all too soon, you and I must die." ~ Children

"Tick tock goes the clock, He cradled her, her rocked her, Tick tock goes the clock, even for the Doctor." ~ Children

====================================
Trivia
====================================
This was originally going to be the fourth episode of the series, but was moved to the second half as Steven Moffat felt that the first half was "too dark". This necessitated minor changes to the episode. A scene with Madame Kovarian was removed, and the ending with the data file from Let's Kill Hitler was added. (This means Karen Gillan, when she filmed the episode, was in fact performing as the Ganger version of Amy.)

One of the children's stories the Doctor mentions, Snow White and the Seven Keys to Doomsday, shares its title with a story in the then-recently published Doctor Who The Official Annual 2012. Had Night Terrors aired as originally planned in the first half of the season, the story would have been published afterwards (suggesting a probable tie-in with the episode).

The scene where the Doctor and Alex are being sucked into the cupboard is very similar to the movie Poltergeist where the daughter is sucked into the spirit realm through her bedroom cupboard.

When Alex is looking at pictures, an announcer from the television can be heard. She says that he is watching BBC One on Saturday night, the same channel and day Doctor Who is on.
