The Impossible Astronaut

This Story: Series 6, Story 1a. Production Code 6.3
Overall: Story 215a, Episode 777
Airdate: 23 Apr 2011
Written by Steven Moffat
Directed by Toby Haynes

Notes

  • There is a prequel to this episode which shows President Nixon receiving one of the phone calls from the little girl – a plot point expanded on in the episode.
  • The older version of Canton Everett Delaware III is played by W Morgan Shepherd.  He was in several Star Trek things too.  He was Ira Graves in the TNG episode “The Schizoid Man”, Qatai In Voyager’s “Bliss“, the Klingon commander of Rura Penthe in Star Trek VI, and an unnamed Vulcan minister in Star Trek (2009).
  • Amusingly, the younger version of this character was played by Mark Shepherd, the real life son of W Morgan Shepherd.

#DoctorWhoMarathon Ep 777 - The Impossible Astronaut (Story 215a, Serial 6.3) - 23 Apr 2011 1/2

S6 starts with a bang w/the Doctor being killed off at the start. It's the beginning of the most intricate series of #DoctorWho - probably Moffat at his Moffatiest. Looks amazing. Was pic.twitter.com/vZBuS5IX3Q

filmed in the US. This one its own doesn't really explain a lot, it's just a huge setup ep. River Song's back. Love real life father/son played same character thru time. pic.twitter.com/zhL8LTbedR
