The God Complex:
-Rita’s full name is Rita Afzal, and her father’s name is Munir Afzal
-Howie’s last name is Spragg
-Howie’s conspiracy website was called WWW. WhoAteAllTheLies. com
-Cut dialogue between Amy and Rory (right after the “hit me with your shoe” conversation)
AMY Ah, let ’em play Doctors and Nurses. What’s my boy been up to?
RORY Me and Howie are barricading the door. We had to move like loads of tables.
AMY Ooh, show me your muscles. Come, on, show me your – oh, you are.
-The Doctor may have left Amy and Rory some winning lottery tickets-
AMY So do you have, like, a whole drawer of winning lottery tickets?
DOCTOR In the kitchen, the one with the receipts and take away menus.
-The Doctor’s original reply to Amy’s “Why now?” question: “Because you still love it. Because you still love me.” WAAAAH.
Closing Time:
-The original script was quite different: Craig was doing a pretty bad job as a father (buying broken buggies on the cheap and angering Sophie) and there was a Cyberman called ‘The Guardian’. Craig and Sophie’s kid was also originally a girl called Grace, then a girl called Tess, before they settled on Alfie.
-In Draft Six of the script (the second-to-last draft, I think) Amy and Rory are shopping at the department store because Amy wanted some retail therapy after losing her Grandad Pond. (More relatives for Amy! Why didn’t they leave that in!?!?)
-Sophie’s last name is Benson.
-Original dialogue when the Doctor saw Craig’s baby: “You have spawned!”
The Wedding Of River Song:
-Amy’s picture (pictures, actually, there was originally more than one) drawing of Rory is described as ‘an insanely handsome man we don’t recognize’.
-Alex Kingston: “If that’s how Tessalectas kiss, I’m all for it.”
-Mark Gatiss’s pseudonym for the role of Gantok was ‘Rondo Haxton’.
-Original dialogue from the Silence to Rory: “You are in pain, Pain is weakness. Pain makes you ours.”
-The original scene between River and Amy in the garden: (I greatly prefer the version we got)
RIVER [after Amy tells her the Doctor is dead] Oh, then. Interesting.
AMY Yeah, then. Not completely okay with it, actually.
RIVER So we haven’t had the conversation yet?
AMY Which conversation?
RIVER Oh, mother- he’s not really dead, you know.
AMY Not for you, I suppose, you’re seeing the younger versions of him, running around, having adventures.
RIVER Isn’t there a question you want to ask me?
AMY What question?
RIVER You saw him whisper in my ear. Don’t you want to know?
AMY His name? Okay, what was his name?
RIVER I don’t know. Maybe I will some day, I hope so – but I don’t know yet. That’s not what he whispered.
The Doctor, The Widow And The Wardrobe
