The Pandorica Opens / The Big Bang - Commentary

No apologies for including so much music from the final two episodes of the season. They were simply the most ingenious and audacious of all Steven's stories, as if he'd made a bet to write himself into the most impossible corner and then think his way of it in the most entertaining way possible. Toby Haynes paced the action with a deft touch, suggesting that the music maintain a light, often wry distance and comic spirit, simultaneously steering through the shocking cliffhanger of Pandorica and, of course, epic speeches, battles, a wedding and a rousing reunion or two. Or possibly three. Always interesting, constantly surprising, these last episodes were a pleasure to write for, and perhaps that comes through in the music.

Once again, thank you for supporting the show and the music of the show. See you again in 2011.
