List of Doctor Who episodes (2005–present)

"The Eleventh Hour" is the first episode of the fifth series of the British science fiction television series Doctor Who, first broadcast on BBC One and BBC HD on 3 April 2010. The episode saw a complete change in cast and production crew after former executive producers Russell T Davies and Julie Gardner departed after The End of Time along with David Tennant, who elected to leave with Davies and allow new producer Steven Moffat to start with a clean slate. As such, the episode was written by new head writer and executive producer Steven Moffat and directed by Adam Smith.

In the episode, the newly-regenerated Doctor (Matt Smith) crashes his time and space machine, the TARDIS, into the small English village of Leadworth, where he meets a young Scottish girl named Amelia Pond (Caitlin Blackwood). The Doctor is forced to leave, but promises Amelia he will return in five minutes. However, he arrives twelve years late and is confronted by the grown-up Amelia, now known as Amy (Karen Gillan), who does not trust him. He attempts to gain her trust to help return the shape-shifting alien Prisoner Zero to the galactic police, the Atraxi, before they destroy the planet.

The episode is the debut of Smith as the eleventh incarnation of the Doctor and Gillan as his new companion. It also introduced Arthur Darvill as Amy's boyfriend Rory Williams, who would later become a main cast member. In the history of the show the Doctor typically rests after he regenerates, so Moffat decided to have him have to save the world instead. The episode sets up the main story arc of the series by introducing the cracks in the universe. "The Eleventh Hour" was seen by 10.08 million viewers in the UK, the highest rated premiere since "Rose", and also attracted popularity on the online BBC iPlayer and on BBC America in the United States. The episode received a generally positive response from critics, who welcomed Smith and Gillan into the cast.

Plot

Continuing from the end of "The End of Time, Part 2", the newly regenerated Doctor (Matt Smith) crash-lands his damaged TARDIS in Leadworth, in 1996. He meets seven-year-old Amelia Pond (Caitlin Blackwood), who shows him a scary crack in her bedroom wall. The Doctor discovers it is a crack in time and space itself, briefly opening it to discover an Atraxi prison. The Atraxi send a psychic message to the Doctor that "Prisoner Zero has escaped". Then the TARDIS's cloister bell is heard; the Doctor races back to his machine, promising Amelia that he will be back in five minutes.

The Doctor returns, unaware that he is 12 years late. On searching the house, he is knocked out and wakes up handcuffed. He discovers his assailant is a much older Amelia, now going by the name Amy (Karen Gillan). Amy, having believed in the Doctor's return and created toys and stories about him, has been ridiculed by others in the village. She finds the Doctor's damaged sonic screwdriver, and, dodging Prisoner Zero, they flee the house.

Shortly afterwards, the Atraxi arrive in orbit, alerted by the Doctor's arrival, and issue an ultimatum: if Prisoner Zero is not found, the Earth will be destroyed. Meeting Amy's boyfriend Rory (Arthur Darvill), the Doctor realises that Prisoner Zero, a multiform that can take the form of any unconscious being it has come in contact with, is borrowing the forms of a nearby hospital's coma patients. The Doctor uses a laptop to gatecrash an online meeting of scientific experts and relay specific instructions to them.

The Doctor races to the hospital, and arrives in time to save Amy and Rory from Prisoner Zero. The Doctor reveals his plan: he has created a computer virus that will broadcast the number "zero" across the world. It is tied to Rory's phone, which contains images of the coma patients, identifying Prisoner Zero in whatever form it may take. Prisoner Zero reveals it has one more form that is not on Rory's phone. Prisoner Zero knocks out Amy and transforms into the Doctor and young Amelia, whom it was able to bond with during the Doctor's absence. The Doctor realises that Amy can hear him speaking and manipulates her subconscious to remember the form of Prisoner Zero she saw in the house, which forces Prisoner Zero to reveal its true form; it is identified by the Atraxi and transported away. Prisoner Zero again warns the Doctor that "Silence, Doctor... silence will fall." The Atraxi fleet leaves the Earth but the Doctor orders their return, upon which he reprimands them for their actions. The Doctor shows the Atraxi that past invaders had come but no sign of their presence remained, alluding to their annilhilation at his hands.

As the Atraxi flee, the Doctor finds the TARDIS, and departs before Amy or Rory can catch up. The Doctor returns to Amy's house, finding that another two years have passed. Though Amy is still upset with the Doctor, she readily accepts his offer to travel with him, as long as he can return her the next day. In response to why he chose her, he promises that the reason is because he is lonely, although it is shown that he is analyzing the crack from the bedroom and possibly wants to monitor Amy. As the TARDIS dematerialises, the viewer is shown Amy's bedroom, where, alongside her toys and drawings of the "raggedy Doctor," is her wedding dress.

Background and casting

"The Eleventh Hour" was the first episode written by Steven Moffat as lead writer and executive producer of Doctor Who.

With "The Eleventh Hour", the beginning of Doctor Who's fifth series, several production changes had been made. Russell T Davies was succeeded by Steven Moffat as executive producer and head writer,[2] and Julie Gardner was replaced as executive producer by Piers Wenger,[3] and Beth Willis.[4] In addition, a new logo was designed[5] and incorporated into a new title sequence[6] with a new variation of the theme tune, composed by Murray Gold.[7] By the end of "The Eleventh Hour", the Doctor has a new sonic screwdriver[8] and the TARDIS sports a new interior[9] and exterior, which was designed to be similar to the one used in the Peter Cushing spinoff films.[10][11] The previous TARDIS interior was shown at the beginning of "The Eleventh Hour"; the Time Rotor on the console had to be rebuilt due to the explosion special effects that were used in The End of Time.[12]

The End of Time saw the end of David Tennant's tenure of the Doctor and his regeneration into Matt Smith. Moffat was originally looking to cast a middle-aged actor,[13] but he and Wenger cast 26-year-old Smith in what they considered an easy decision.[11][14] Karen Gillan was also cast as the Doctor's new companion Amy Pond; she had previously appeared in the fourth series episode "The Fires of Pompeii" and was suggested to Moffat by Andy Pryor, the casting director.[14] Gillan auditioned for the role in both her natural Scottish accent and an English one, and it was not until after she was cast that it was decided Amy would be Scottish.[15][16]

The young Amy, known as Amelia, is played by Karen Gillan's real-life cousin Caitlin Blackwood. Though Gillan recommended Blackwood for the role, Blackwood had to undergo rigorous auditions first.[17] Blackwood had no formal acting experience prior to the episode.[18] "The Eleventh Hour" is also the debut of Arthur Darvill as Rory Williams, who would become a regular in the sixth series.[19] Moffat stated that what stood out about Darvill's audition was "just how funny" he was.[20] EastEnders star Nina Wadia was chosen for the part of the doctor at the Leadworth Hospital. Wadia assumed she was chosen for the part as she had worked with director Adam Smith before.[21] Patrick Moore appears as himself in the video conference with a brief speaking part, though not all his lines made it into the final episode.[11] The man above Moore is the brother of Adam Smith.[11] Marcello Magni, who played a man Prisoner Zero impersonates that barks like his dog, had done work before with impersonating dogs.[11]

Writing

"I thought it would be fun if, while he was still regenerating, he had to run around and save the world. He's barely out of the box when he realises: I haven't changed my shirt yet and I've got 20 minutes to save the world. It's like trying to save the world with flu. And he does it with two minutes to spare."

Steven Moffat[8]

The title of the episode is a double entendre, being both a reference to the introduction of the Eleventh Doctor and a reference to the fact that he was nearly too late, which is the actual meaning of the phrase.[22] In the DVD commentary, Moffat said that it was the most difficult script he had ever written, as he had to introduce a new Doctor, new companion, convince the audience it was both a new show and an old show, and deliver a fast-paced story.[11] Where traditionally the Doctor rests after he regenerates,[23] Moffat thought it would be fun if he had to save the world instead.[8] He described it as a comedy of a man whose day kept getting worse and worse.[11] Believing that London and companions from London had become a "cliché" of the show and the audience had "[gotten] bored of it", Moffat chose to set the episode in the fictional village of Leadworth.[18] As when Gillan was cast it was decided that Amy would be Scottish, Moffat, who is Scottish himself, debated whether or not to move it to a village in Scotland. He ultimately decided to keep it English, as it would keep with the theme of Amelia being an unusual girl.[11]

Throughout the episode, the Doctor appears "sporadic", as he gradually is getting used to his new body and tastes while developing a new personality. Executive producer Beth Willis stated that he "finally clicks into place" after picking out his new costume.[18] The rooftop scene was not in the original script; he simply ran away from the ward and returned to the TARDIS. Moffat felt that he did not really have his introduction, and that more could be made of the costume, as many of the previous Doctors had picked theirs out quietly.[11] The main story of the episode is the Doctor meeting Amy. Moffat felt that over time the relationships between the Doctor and companion had become too adult, and wanted to return it to a childish relationship like Peter Pan and Wendy, rather than boyfriend and girlfriend. He believed this was the kind of relationship viewers had with the Doctor, regardless of their age.[11] When the Doctor returns for Amy, she appears to be a very different person from the seven-year-old he had met before. Moffat explains that she developed a "tough" element and had become "distrustful" and "cynical" due to him not returning as promised and her being forced to accept he was an imaginary friend.[18] Rory was a character who was "completely in love" with Amy, but Amy had things to do in life before admitting she loved him too. Moffat described Rory as someone who had grown up in the "shadow" of Amy's imaginary Doctor.[18]

Moffat was inspired by a crack in his son's bedroom wall and developed the idea into the main story arc of the series.[24] He thought that a child may think that things lived inside such cracks.[11] The hidden room in Amelia's house where Prisoner Zero hid was based on a recurring dream Moffat had as a child of an extra room in his grandmother's house that was not actually there.[11] Moffat was also keen to have the monster a giant eyeball, and also commented that the Atraxi's design — a giant eyeball on a star — was easy for children to draw, as he used to draw Doctor Who monsters as a child.[11] These aspects stay true to Doctor Who's "domestically-scaled menace" theme.[11] Moffat wrote a scene which explained Prisoner Zero's crime, which was impersonating an army, but it was cut because he figured no one would care.[11] The opening sequence, in which the Doctor barely hangs onto the crashing TARDIS as it flies over London, was not originally included in the script but later added to bridge the conclusion of The End of Time with the TARDIS crashing into Amy's garden. Moffat thought it would be "funny" if they showed him hanging out of the TARDIS and nearly crashing into London, and that it would start an episode set in a small town in a big way.[25] Moffat also drew inspiration from A.A. Milne's The House at Pooh Corner, specifically the scene where Tigger claims to like everything, but then proceeds to reject all food offered to him until he finally finds that he likes extract of malt, to create a similar scenario wherein the newly regenerated Doctor rejects a variety of food, with the exception of custard and fish fingers, offered to him by young Amy.[26][27] Moffat felt that appealing to children was an important part of the show's success.[11] The scene where the Doctor creates the virus using Jeff's laptop originally took place in a classroom where the Doctor used the students' computers; this was changed due to production reasons.[11] In the episode, the Doctor snaps his fingers to open the TARDIS, a trick his previous incarnation learned from River Song in "Silence in the Library" / "Forest of the Dead".[28] He also repeats the lines "wibbley-wobbley, timey-wimey" and "some cowboys in here" from the Moffat-written episodes "Blink" and "The Girl in the Fireplace".[28]

Filming and effects

The read-through for the episode took place in September 2009.[18] Though it is the first episode of the series, "The Eleventh Hour" was not the first to be shot.[29] It was filmed in the third production block, after the completion of episodes 2-5.[30] As Smith was aware of how his Doctor would act in the following episodes, he had a goal of how to build the character after regeneration. It was intended that there would be traces of Smith's predecessor, David Tennant, and the executive producers found Smith to be "stranger" in this episode.[11] The episode was directed by Adam Smith, who was attracted to the "brilliant script" and working with Matt Smith, who was on his "hitlist" of actors he wanted to work with after seeing him on stage. Smith was asked to direct "the same but make it a bit different – the producers didn't want it to be radically different, but they did want it to be different". The goal was to make it more "cinematic" and magical, and Smith watched E.T. and Tim Burton's work for inspiration.[31]

Amelia's house was designed to appear "spooky but ordinary" and reminiscent of a castle.[18] Most scenes based in the fictional village of Leadworth were filmed in the Llandaff village in Cardiff on 29 September, 5–7 October, and 20 November 2009.[32] Photographs were taken on 5 October for the stop-frame animation sequence representing the Doctor's thought process.[32] As the stills were taken by members of the crew and not computers it was not completely perfect, which Adam Smith thought gave it a unique "organic" feel.[18] Plagued by torrential rain, the crew returned on 20 November to shoot the final scenes needed in Leadworth.[32] The production crew heavily dressed the area, adding flowers, street signs, and souvenirs for Leadworth.[18][33]

For the opening sequence, the Doctor hanging out of the TARDIS was filmed with Smith in front of a greenscreen,[25] while the aerial footage of London was achieved with a helicopter piloted by a hired aerial operator.[25] Director Adam Smith stated that the scene was hard to visualise as it relied heavily on computer-generated images.[25] Nearly every scene in the sequence is a visual effects shot, including a 3-D TARDIS for when it is flying over London and a CG Doctor hanging out of the TARDIS in the aerial shots.[25] Moffat realised that the Millennium Dome was visible in the final footage, and so the scene could not take place in 1996 as the structure had not been built yet. Instead of requesting it be reshot, Moffat explained that the TARDIS could just be about to go back in time and materialise in Amelia's garden.[11] In post-production, 30 tracks of sound effects, music composed by Murray Gold specifically for the sequence, and Smith's "grunting and groaning" were added to the footage. It is primarily a music-led sequence.[25]

While Amelia waits for the Doctor in the garden, the camera returns to her house where something, presumably Prisoner Zero, darts past the camera. It is actually Smith in footage intended for the finale, "The Big Bang", but when it did not fit into that episode it was recycled here.[11] Originally the scene where the Doctor confirms that he is the same man Amy met when she was younger by showing her the apple she gave him that day was cut due to pacing issues and that the fact had already been established in a previous scene. When this previous scene was cut, it was added back in.[11] Due to the rain, the scene where the Doctor tries to gain the Atraxi's attention with his sonic screwdriver had to be simplified.[11] Adam Smith based the style of the confrontation on a Western film.[11] The destruction of the sonic screwdriver shortly after was achieved with a spark effect concealed inside the screwdriver, activated by an electrical charge that reached the screwdriver by an electrical wire that ran down Smith's sleeve and connected to a receiver. Special effects head Danny Hargreaves then used a remote control to activate the contraption.[8] Contrary to reports, the effect did not injure Smith.[34] The "fish fingers and custard" scene was shot in 12 takes.[26] The fish fingers were actually a breaded coconut-flavored food item; Smith estimated he ate about 14 of them.[22]

Broadcast and reception

"The Eleventh Hour" was first broadcast in the United Kingdom on BBC One on 3 April 2010.[35] Overnight figures reported that 8 million watched the episode on BBC One and the simulcast on BBC HD.[36] Final consolidated figures rose to 9.59 million on BBC One and 494,000 on BBC HD, making the final rating for the episode 10.08 million viewers, the most-watched premiere since "Rose" and the eighth highest rated episode since Doctor Who's return to television in 2005.[37] The episode was second for the entire week on BBC One and number four for the week across all channels.[38] The episode earned an Appreciation Index of 86, considered "excellent".[39]

The episode was also popular on BBC's online iPlayer. Within one week of broadcast, "The Eleventh Hour" received 1.27 million hits on BBC's online iPlayer service, the record for most requests in a week.[40] It went on to become the most requested episode of 2010 with 2.241 million views; Doctor Who was also named the most watched programme of the year on the service.[41]

"The Eleventh Hour" was first broadcast in the US on BBC America on 17 April 2010[42] and in Canada on the same date on Space.[43] It set a record for BBC America, with an average of 1.2 million viewers and 0.9 million in the adults aged 25–54 demographic.[44] The episode aired in Australia on 18 April on ABC1.[45] It could also be viewed on ABC's website iView two days prior to the television air date, on 16 April.[45] The show was broadcast two weeks after airing in Britain, as the BBC required a fortnight to edit down the Doctor Who Confidential: Cut Down. There was no room for the accompanying Doctor Who Confidential due to the hour running time, but ABC holds the rights and has made it available on iView.[46] The episode aired in New Zealand on 2 May on Prime.[47]

"The Eleventh Hour" was released in Region 2 on DVD and Blu-ray with the following episodes "The Beast Below", "Victory of the Daleks" on 7 June 2010.[48][49] It was then re-released as part of the complete series five DVD on 8 November 2010.[50]

Critical reception

"The Eleventh Hour" received generally positive reviews from critics. The Mail on Sunday reviewer Sinclair McKay called "The Eleventh Hour" a "deft first episode" that was "packed with one-liners and an even more fantastical feel than of late. But it had that old reassuring combination of intense Britishness, quirkiness and a sense of the macabre". He also praised Gillan's "winning" performance and Smith's adaption to the role, concluding, "Smith might turn out to be one of the best Time Lords of the lot".[51] Benji Wilson, for The Daily Telegraph, wrote "It was ridiculous but it felt right: mad, alien, brand-new but very old. A+ to the casting director. A+ to Smith". He also said that Gillan "110 per cent nailed it". Though he compared Prisoner Zero's low-budget CGI makeup to a "draught excluder", he said that Moffat "turned a weakness into a strength" by having Prisoner Zero take the form of humans.[52]

Daniel Martin of The Guardian called "The Eleventh Hour" "an absolute triumph" and the fact that "the story wisely doesn't waste too much time with an unstable regeneration". Though he praised Smith, he commented he was "still not feeling" the "Geronimo!" catchphrase.[53] Radio Times reviewer Patrick Mulkern believed it was "obvious" that Smith's Doctor would be "up there with the greatest" and also praised Gillan, though he was unsure of the rescored theme tune. He also praised Moffat's script for "[offering] funny lines...directorial flourishes and a host of blink-and-miss star turns".[54] Zap2it's Sam McPherson gave the episode an A+, saying that it was "definitely" his favourite and praised the debut of Smith, Gillan, and the redesigned TARDIS.[55] Paul Kerton, also of the site, praised Adam Smith for "[handling] the episode beautifully", the depth in Amy's character, and Matt Smith's take on the role. However, he thought the downside to the episode were the "slightly poor effects" and "somewhat lightweight story", and while he called the new title sequence "absolutely beautiful", he was unsure of the new variation of the theme tune.[56]

Dave Golder of SFX magazine gave "The Eleventh Hour" five out of five stars, thinking that Moffat captured "the way children perceive the Doctor" and praising the debuts of Smith and Gillan.[57] The A.V. Club reviewer Keith Phipps gave the episode a B+, explaining that he liked Smith "a lot" but was not sure if the Eleventh Doctor was separate enough from the Tenth yet. He called Gillan "instantly winning" and that the story was "no exception" from Moffat's typical "exceptionally strong narratives, keen sense of character, and efficient plotting".[58] Maureen Ryan of The Chicago Tribune stated that the episode "works" as an introduction, though it could be "almost too jokey at times". Though she felt the series was in good hands with Smith and Gillan, she derided the Atraxi for being "alarmingly static and ultimately uninteresting" and the "little substance" to the story.[59] IGN's Matt Wales rated the episode 8 out of 10, praising it for easily fitting into the show's continuity, especially with Smith's portrayal of the Doctor. However, he thought the "calamity plot" was the "weakest link in an otherwise superb opening episode" and the "whole bunch of disparate elements ... never [gelled] into a satisfying whole". Though he said it was not perfect with "a saggy midsection and slightly naff CGI effects", he thought it was still "wondrous in so many ways".[60] New York Times reviewer Mike Hale wrote that the episode worked like a "a well-oiled piece of machinery", but it came across as "routine" with "none of the over-the-top exuberance" of Davies' run. While he noted that Gillan "looks promising", he felt that Smith was too much like Tennant and would "[need] to start shaping his own take on the role".[61] Den of Geek selected the episode as Doctor Who's highlight in their "Best TV Episodes of 2010" article.[62] In 2011, after the airing of the next series, Digital Spy called the episode "still Smith and Moffat's finest hour".[63]

The episode attracted some criticism from viewers who complained that Amy's character and occupation as a kissogram was "too sexy" for a family programme. Gillan defended her character, claiming that girls Amy's age often wore short skirts and it showed the character had confidence, while executive producer Piers Wenger said, "The whole kissogram thing played into Steven's desire for the companion to be feisty and outspoken and a bit of a number. Amy is probably the wildest companion that the Doctor has travelled with, but she isn't promiscuous".[64]
