The Eleventh Hour is an episode from series 5 featuring the first appearances of Amy, Rory and the first proper episode with Matt Smith as the 11th Doctor. Easter 2010, Steven Moffat has just taken the helm of the best sci-fi show ever. How does he start his tenure? With a trip to the countryside of course.
Firstly, I love that Doctor Who moved away from London to get the companions, with the previous companions all being Londoners. Similarly, I think it's great that the Doctor met a young Amy before meeting older Amy. This episode sets up mystery about the whole of Amy's time in the TARDIS; mysteries like - why doesn't Amy remember the alien invasions of previous years?
To the episode itself. It's great to see the Doctor having to sort something out in a limited time, without his two beloved toys. The Doctor himself says, "No Sonic! No TARDIS!" before saying the a very cringey line, "Who DA Man?" Amy is also brilliant in this episode. After meeting the Doctor again, she is angry, upset but most of all, happy! She is secretly so pleased that her imaginary friend was real, this is reflected in her excitement to fly away with the Doctor at the end.
My favourite line of the episode: "I'm the Doctor. Basically, run."
