YMMV / Doctor Who S31 E1 "The Eleventh Hour"

• Fanfic Magnet: Amelia as companion! In fact this episode gave a boost to the idea of a child companion in general.
  • There's also the idea of Amelia with the Tenth Doctor as her Doctor, along with a whole Tenth Doctor-version of series 5, stemming from behind the scenes discussions on if David Tennant had decided to stay on the show.
• Harsher in Hindsight: "There's something you better understand about me, 'cause it's important and one day your life may depend on it. I am definitely a madman with a box". One day her life does depend on accepting that the Doctor is just a mad man with a box.
• Memetic Mutation:
  • Fish Fingers and Custard
  • "I am definitely a madman with a box."
  • "Hello, I'm the Doctor. Basically, run."
• Retroactive Recognition: Tom Hopper, who plays Amy's friend Jeff, has become much better known for his roles in Merlin, Black Sails and The Umbrella Academy.
• They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character: In a 2019 interview with Radio Times, Steven Moffat admitted that the episode wasted Olivia Colman.
