PLEASE NOTE: These caches were originally all letterboxes, with stamps that I personally painstakingly made. Unfortunately, they have proven quite popular, and with that comes muggling. Apparently a number of the stamps have gone missing, and as some have complained about this, and I haven't the time to go and check all 100+ of them on a regular basis, I will be converting them to Traditional caches as needed.
It pains me to make this decision, but it must be done. I recognize that with a powertrail, caches are bound to go missing (that is the nature of the beast), and I appreciate that many of you have helped out by bringing along spares. However, your average cacher does NOT carry around spare stamps, and even if you did, it wouldn't be the one that I originally and personally made for the cache.
So, I am asking for your help: please let me know in your logs which ones are indeed missing their stamps, and I will be changing them to Traditionals (the alternative is archival, unfortunately). Thanks for your assistance in this endeavor, and thanks for supporting this series. I am glad that I spent the many hours needed to create these. However, I cannot justify consistently having to make and then replace all the stamps, due to time constraints.
Sincerely, the CO, josephaw

First off, let me thank you for finding this geocache! I hope you enjoyed the experience of finding it as much as I enjoyed creating and hiding all of these letterbox caches.
This is just one of many such caches in my Dr Who Letterbox Series, made with the help and inspiration of friends. As a Letterbox cache, please leave the stamp for others to see and use, thanks! Each cache has a unique stamp, so bring an inkpad and collect them all! Have fun, and be safe!
"Night Terrors" is the ninth episode of the sixth series of the British science fiction television series Doctor Who, and was first broadcast on BBC One and BBC America on 3 September 2011. It was written by Mark Gatiss and directed by Richard Clark.
In the episode, alien time traveller the Doctor (Matt Smith) and his companions Amy Pond (Karen Gillan) and Rory (Arthur Darvill) decide to make a "house call" to an eight-year-old boy named George (Jamie Oram) who is terrified of almost everything, and especially dreads the cupboard in his bedroom. While the Doctor discusses this with George's father Alex (Daniel Mays), Amy and Rory become trapped in a doll house with terrifying life-size peg dolls.
"Night Terrors" was inspired by Gatiss's fear of dolls, and the ones in the episode were designed to be scary and crude-looking. The episode was moved from the first half of the series to the second, which necessitated changes to make it fit into the series' story arc. It was the first to be filmed, with production taking place in September 2010 at a council estate in Redcliffe, Bristol and at Dyrham Park, where the doll's house interior scenes were filmed. The episode was watched by 7.07 million viewers in the UK and received generally positive to mixed reviews from critics, though some were critical of how it fit into the overarching story as it came after a heavy story-arc episode.
Plot
The Doctor decides to make a "house call" after his psychic paper receives a message from George, a frightened 8-year-old child, asking his help in getting rid of the monsters in his bedroom. On arrival at a council estate on present-day Earth, the Doctor, Amy, and Rory split up to try to locate the child. The Doctor, taking the guise of a social services worker, finds the right flat, and meets George's father, Alex, while his mother Claire is working a night shift. Through Alex's photo album, the Doctor learns that George has been frightened all his life, fearing many of the sounds and people around the flat and is helped to cope by utilising various habits, including metaphorically placing his fears within his wardrobe.
Meanwhile, Amy and Rory, while taking the lift down, suddenly find themselves in what appears to be an eighteenth-century house, but shortly discover most of the furnishings are wooden props. Other residents of the estate appear in the house, but are caught by life-sized peg dolls that laugh and sing like children, and transform the residents into more dolls. Amy and Rory witness one transformation and try to flee, but Amy is caught and becomes a doll herself, joining the others in chasing Rory.
The Doctor, suspecting that the wardrobe contains the evil George fears, opens it to find its contents are simply clothes and toys, including a doll house. The Doctor suddenly recalls from Alex's photo album that Claire did not appear pregnant in the weeks leading up to George's supposed birth, causing Alex to remember the fact that Claire was unable to have children. The Doctor asserts that George is a Tenza child, an empathic alien who took on the form of Alex and Claire's desired child through a perception filter, and has the ability to literally lock away his fears within the wardrobe. George begins to panic from this revelation and the Doctor and Alex are pulled into the wardrobe, joining Rory in the dollhouse. As the dolls descend on the three, the Doctor calls out to George to face his fears; George is able to open the wardrobe and appears in the dollhouse, but the dolls turn to advance on him. The Doctor realises that George is still frightened that Alex and Claire plan to send him away, having mistakenly interpreted a conversation they had earlier that night; Alex rushes through the dolls to embrace George as his son. They all soon find themselves back at the estate, restored to normal. Claire returns the next morning to find George no longer scared while Alex and the Doctor make him breakfast. After being thanked, the Doctor rejoins his companions to set off for their next adventure.
At the end, a nursery rhyme foreshadowing the Doctor's death is heard, and a screen in the TARDIS displays details of the Doctor's death: the date and time he is to die, and the location of his death.
Continuity
The Doctor refers to "Snow White and the Seven Keys to Doomsday", "The Three Little Sontarans" and "The Emperor Dalek's New Clothes" as being among his childhood nursery stories, referencing the 1974 stage play Seven Keys to Doomsday[1] and the Sontarans and the Emperor Dalek, two of the series' recurring monsters.[2] He also repeats his predilection for tea and Jammie Dodgers from another Gatiss-written episode, "Victory of the Daleks".[2]
