   SPACE/TIME   
      
   2 episodes. Approx. 7 minutes. Written by: Steven Moffat. Directed by:   
   Richard Senior. Produced by: Annabella Hurst-Brown.   
      
      
   THE PLOT   
      
   The Doctor and Rory are working on the TARDIS when there is a small   
   accident. Rory, distracted by Amy's short skirt, drops a thermo   
   coupling. No big deal, the Doctor tells them. "The TARDIS will lock   
   onto the safest space available." But the safest space available is...   
   inside the TARDIS! The ship has materialized inside itself. Going out   
   the external door causes the person to emerge from the TARDIS inside   
   the TARDIS. Going through the TARDIS inside causes you to come through   
   the external doors - back into the TARDIS. Unless the Doctor can   
   unravel this spatial paradox, the three of them will be trapped for   
   all eternity!   
      
      
   CHARACTERS   
      
   The Doctor: Matt Smith gives a typically energetic performance. This   
   is a Comic Relief special, and as such is all in fun. Even so, Smith   
   brings a hint of gravity to the Part One cliffhanger, making us   
   believe that to the Doctor, at least, this is a serious situation.   
      
   Amy/Rory: Amy passed her driving test the first time - by cheating,   
   according to Rory. "She wore a skirt," he observes. "Have you ever   
   seen Amy drive? Neither did her examiner." When a second Amy appears,   
   from slightly in the future, Amy finds herself rather fetching -   
   something Rory doesn't object to at all. Karen Gillan and Arthur   
   Darvill are in good, spirited form, and their chemistry is if anything   
   even more natural than it was in Series Five.   
      
      
   THOUGHTS   
      
   One can only do so much to review a 7 minute Comic Relief sketch, but   
   I do have to applaud the slickness of this little production. This is   
   every bit as polished as a proper episode. No one is winking at the   
   camera, and tech credits are on par with the regular series.   
      
   As was the case in Time Crash, Steven Moffat shows that he can craft a   
   clever and engaging script that actually works within a tiny running   
   time. The situation is a simple one, almost certainly cribbed from the   
   TARDIS-within-a-TARDIS sequence in Logopolis, only given a comedic   
   spin. As such, the plot fits just fine into the brief running time.   
   It's fast paced, but it isn't rushed.   
      
   As expected from Moffat, the two episodes feature a flood of clever   
   lines and a fair amount of sexual innuendo. There's also the expected   
   playing with time, with the characters interacting with, then   
   becoming, their future selves. There's no real meat to it, just the   
   writer having fun playing with his toys. But Moffat and his actors   
   clearly are having fun, which makes the whole thing quite a lot of fun   
   to watch.   
      
   And really, given the brevity of the whole thing, what more could you   
   ask than that?   
      
      
   Rating: 7/10.
