Whether by coincidence or by design the episode title is similar in name to the TV movie We'll Take Manhattan which had starred Karen Gillan.
Terrifying seeing the Statue of Liberty as an Angel.
Surprising that Melody Malone was River and of course the clue was the name Melody.
The date in 1938 that the Doctor, Amy, Rory and River was in was April 3 and the choice of this date undoubtedly has to do with the fact that April 3 2010 was when the Eleventh Doctor made his formal introduction as well as the first appearances of Amy and Rory in The Eleventh Hour. So between 1938 and 2010 it is a gap of exactly 72 years.
The threat of the Angels this time around was quite good and very sad how Amy and Rory parts ways with the Doctor.

In DWM’s The Doctor Who Companion – The Eleventh Doctor Volume 6 in the feature on The Angels Take Manhattan it pointed out the episode title played upon the popular phrase of succeeding in New York.
The article pointed out that it had already been parodied for The Muppets Take Manhattan and the 1987 mini-series I’ll Take Manhattan.
It also pointed out that Karen Gillan (Amy) was in New York just four months before the original September 2012 broadcast of The Angels Take Manhattan when she was in the TV movie We’ll Take Manhattan originally shown in May that year in which she starred as the 1960s model Jean Shrimpton.

Doctor Who: Inside Look – The Angels Take Manhattan: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZgIX3-DcaGgKaren Gillan: “It’s the showdown of everything we’ve been building towards for the last two seasons”. It certainly was that and the expectations that was expressed here of The Angels Take Manhattan were certainly borne fruit in that episode. It was interesting to point out from Alex Kingston that her first episode with Matt Smith and Karen Gillan was both their first filmed episode The Time of Angels and now here she is as a bookend to Karen’s final aforementioned episode. |
