One of my favourite 11th Doctor stories. It has a dramatic and gently complex sci-fi concept at the centre of it.

Old Amy is believably a different character and has to make a brave and difficult decision. Should she erase her life, so that the greatest injustice never happened to her and another version of her continues to live? It’s a story that could only be done justice in Doctor Who.

Sure we’ve had nangene like robots that kill with their cures several times in the show and we’ve certainly had characters waiting indefinite periods of time as an act of heroism several times too, but The Girl Who Waited puts a unique and beautiful spin on it.

Oh and finally! Flirting done right in Doctor Who! Not all the “eyes front soldier” which is very Moffat-esque. But older Amy trying it on with young Rory. It’s genuinely touching, real, hilarious and slightly sexy!
