What is the title of the 2010 Doctor Who episode in which the Doctor faces the Pandorica?

The Pandorica Opens is the 2010 Doctor Who episode in which the Doctor faces the mysterious Pandorica.

Written by Steven Moffat, the episode is the first part of a two-part series finale in the programme’s fifth season. It follows the Eleventh Doctor, played by Matt Smith, as he investigates an ancient object said to contain the most dangerous prisoner in the universe.

The episode brings together enemies and allies from across the Doctor’s adventures. Its cliffhanger reveals that the Pandorica is not simply a prison waiting to be opened; it is part of a larger trap involving the Doctor. The story continues in the episode The Big Bang.

Despite the similar name, the Pandorica is not the container from the ancient Greek myth. Doctor Who uses the mythological association as a science-fiction mystery about fear, imprisonment, and the consequences of the Doctor’s reputation.
