The Impossible Astronaut 6:00pm – 6:45pm BBC1

Doctor Who The Impossible Astronaut

Broadcast times from www.radiotimes.com

Saturday 23 April
6:00pm – 6:45pm BBC1

The Doctor – Matt Smith
Amy Pond – Karen Gillan
Rory Williams – Arthur Darvill

Four envelopes, numbered 2, 3 and 4, each containing a date, time and map reference, unsigned, but TARDIS blue. Who sent them? And who received the missing number one? This strange summons reunites the Doctor, Amy, Rory and River Song in the middle of the Utah desert and unveils a terrible secret the Doctor’s friends must never reveal to him.

Placing his life entirely in their hands, the Doctor agrees to search for the recipient of the fourth envelope – just who is Canton Everett Delaware the Third? And what is the relevance of their only other clue: ‘Space 1969′? Their quest lands them – quite literally – in the Oval Office, where they are enlisted by President Nixon himself to assist enigmatic former-FBI agent Canton, in saving a terrified little girl from a mysterious spaceman.

    Has anyone noticed that the astronaut’s spacesuit has the logo of Apollo 11 on it; the same spacecraft that Neil Armstrong was in. This could possibly link to something in Episode 2 when it is said that the Doctor will get help from Neil Armstrong’s foot.
