More Amy/Rory stuff from The Doctor Who Companion:
-In the first draft of A Town Called Mercy, “That night the Doctor prowled the main street, worrying, while Amy told Rory she was thinking of being a travel writer; the couple discussed babies in a prickly manner with Amy saying that one option was for Rory to find somebody else who could give him children.”
I’m sincerely hoping that this first draft was written before Asylum Of The Daleks– I’m assuming it was- because otherwise that completely undoes all the character development in that episode.
-In the first draft of The Power Of Three, there’s a scene where Brian gives Rory details of an adoption agency and tells him he wants to be a grandad. “Later, Amy was furious at Brian telling them how to live their lives.”
I’m really glad they ditched all that stuff. I just…I don’t really like Amy’s infertility being a running thing, I just don’t. I don’t mind this (filmed, I gather, but cut) scene though:
BRIAN: You still haven’t talked to him, have you?
RORY: Don’t nag, Dad.
BRIAN: You can’t be with the Doctor forever.
RORY: Says who?
BRIAN: You both do. You’ve been cutting it back. Building a life. You said you’d had a meeting about applying to adopt…
RORY: We have, but what if we’re wrong? It’s a lot to give up. You’ve seen it, Dad. There’s so much out there.
BRIAN: And you’ll never see it all. You can’t. So don’t try. It’s better to leave the party while you’re still having fun…….I want to be a grandad, Rory. I’d be really good at it. Don’t make me wait forever.
Oh, taken with PS, that’s pretty heartbreaking.
