Can't wait until April 23 for some fresh Doctor Who? Well, you can get your fix right now in this brand-new Doctor Who minisode, which features not one but TWO Amy Ponds. And it's a timey wimey, wibbly wobbly thing.
Entitled "Space" (part 1) and "Time" (part 2), the special mini-episode is written by none other than Doctor Who showrunner Steven Moffat himself for a charity event called Red Nose Day (also known as Comic Relief) in the U.K.
If you've ever wanted to see how two Amy Ponds would act when pitched together in the same space-time continuum and how two TARDISes inside one another would work, this is your chance! Plus you also get to see two Rorys and two Doctors as well.
Enjoy!

Sorry Back to the future fans, you're not going to end up as the Time Traveller in the Charlie Chaplin film after befriending the local mad neighbour.
Turns out the mystery is solved with just a simple picture of a square phone shaped ear trumpet. The old women was just using a hearing aid, instead of managing to find a phone signal in 1928 after time travelling.
"What [Insanely long-winded] Irish filmmaker George Clarke didn’t consider was that a simple ear trumpet could still explain it all, said hearing device historians.
“As you can tell from these pictures, old-fashioned mechanical or resonating hearing aids were not necessarily long and rounded,” said Philip Skroska, an archivist at the Bernard Becker Medical Library of Washington University in St. Louis.
“Short, compact rectangular forms were not unusual.” In other words, they could look something like a cell phone to imaginative YouTube viewers in the 21st century. "-Live ScienceSorry Back to the future fans, you're not going to end up as the Time Traveller... more

Quantum Physicist Approves the Time Traveler's Wife
Tragic love stories may not be your thing, but physicist Dave Goldberg says there's another reason to be excited for the film adaptation of The Time Traveler's Wife: it's the most accurate time travel movie you'll see all year.
Goldberg, a physics professor at Drexel University, and co-author of the upcoming book A User's Guide to the Universe: Surviving the Perils of Black Holes, Time Paradoxes and Quantum Uncertainty, says that amidst the current glut of more fantastical time travel dramas — in which he includes Lost, Star Trek, and Heroes — The Time Traveler's Wife is a breath of relatively accurate air.
Looking at the theories developed by Albert Einstein, Hugh Everett, Igor Novikov, and Kip Thorne, Goldberg creates a checklist for accurate time travel rules ("You can't visit any time before your time machine was built." "You can't kill your own grandfather."), and explains how well The Time Traveler's Wife fits within those rules. The verdict: the story bends the rules a bit, but in a somewhat justifiable way, and comes out leagues ahead of most popular time travel tales.
One point I wish Goldberg had addressed is whether nudity is a prerequisite for time travel, because personally when they build the time machine, I'd prefer to arrive fully clothed.Quantum Physicist Approves the Time Traveler's Wife
