Doctor Who, Amy Ponds meets Amelia Pond

In this episode of Doctor Who, Amy Pond (played by Karen Gillan) comes across a younger version of herself. In what appears to be a museum, young Amy Ponds walks around slowly, at this moment she is alone. Being an inquisitive child, she places her hand on a large cube in the centre of the museum. A bright light comes out from within this cube along with Karen Gillan. It is shown to the audience that this cube is quite important as Amy watches a video mentioning how it has appeared through history, which adds to the story. Both older and younger Amy's are encountered by a "darlek" that has the intention of hurting them. The doctor comes just in time to rescue the two.

Some aspects of Propps theory applies to this clip. Although he only appears at the end of the clip, Dr Who would be seen as the hero, this is because he rescues older and younger Amy. Older Amy would be considered as the "helper" the one who assists the hero. in this case, she is the one that assists the doctor. It isn't clear yet, but younger Amy could potentially be the "donor" the person that gives something of value to the hero to help him along his journey. The darlek is quite obviously the villain as it is trying to harm them.

Throughout this video, it is very clear that the genre of this film is Syfy. This is shown from the use of bright white and green neon lights. Time travel is the main theme running throughout this episode along with other Dr Who episodes. Time travel a big part of the Syfy genre, so that is another indication that this programme fits into it.

This show, along with other Syfy's offer audiences entertainment and diversion. This is because it takes them away from the real world and lets them experience something extraordinary, something that they would never experience in their own lives.
