The Angels Take Mahattan

"Oh, I always rip out the last page of a book. Then it doesn't have to end. I hate endings"

Oh God, where do I start? The best episode of the series? The most emotional farewell to a companion since Rose in Doomsday? Is this Steven Moffat's best episode to date, surpassing even Blink? Does Nick Hurran have a fetish for creepy hotels? (this is the same guy who directed last years The God Complex)

From the opening revelation that the Statue of Liberty is a Weeping Angel to the final moments with Amy and Rory (the longest running companions since the series came back - I'd never realised that before!), The Angels in Manhattan is a fitting swansong for them and this current series of Doctor Who. Oh, and River's in it too. And bring the tissues.

"This is the story of Amelia Pond - and this, is how it ends."
