Trivia / Doctor Who S32 E10 "The Girl Who Waited"

---

• Acting for Two: Karen Gillan is both older and younger Amy.
• Celebrity Voice Actor: Imelda Staunton as the voice of the interface.
• Creator's Favourite Episode: Tom McRae called this his "most accomplished piece of plotting ever".
• Deleted Scene: A deleted scene featured a Handbot's hand being cut and continuing to walk by itself.
• Recycled Set: The reception area where Amy talks to the check-in girl is also the lobby of the New New York hospital. There's one shot in particular, along the length of the room, that is identical to one seen in "New Earth" where it's especially obvious.
• Wag the Director: A positive example. Originally an older actress was going to play Older Amy, but Karen Gillan insisted on playing Older Amy with the aid of prosthetics and it was decided Karen Gillan playing both characters would be more believable.
• What Could Have Been:
  • The ending scene where Rory and the two Amys race to the TARDIS did not include Rory in person and instead watching through the lens.
  • The Handbots were supposed to be cloaked figures only seen from their hands.
• Working Title: The Visitors' Room, The Visiting Hour and Kindness. Despite many reports to the contrary, there was no late change to the adventure's title and at no point was it ever called The Green Anchor.
