Sundays At Tiffany’s is a TV movie that began with a young girl Jane who had an imaginary friend in the form of a boy her age called Michael. It was in these early scenes that Michael left the girl because it was time for him to leave. The film then fast forwards 20 years when Jane now a woman was about to get married when her imaginary friend Michael came back not as the boy she remembers him to be but a real person that everyone can see. Sunday’s At Tiffany’s was based on a novel and it originally aired on December 6 2010. So it was somewhat a remarkable coincidence that it aired eight months after Matt Smith as the Eleventh Doctor made his official debut in The Eleventh Hour and The Eleventh Hour apart from its alien plotline had a rather similar plot to Sundays At Tiffany’s due to the fact that we first see Amy as young girl Amelia with the Doctor being her imaginary friend. Not long after meeting Amelia the Doctor went away, unintentionally for a long time. When the Doctor sees Amy again she has now become a young woman and the Doctor instead of being imaginary can now be seen as a real person by everyone. After the business with the Atraxi, the Doctor then went away from Amy again for a lengthy time and when he next sees her it was on the night before her wedding. In The Eleventh Hour, Amy said she had to see four psychiatrists because of the Doctor while in Sundays At Tiffany’s, Jane has a psychiatrist friend. In Sundays At Tiffany’s, Jane was played by Alyssa Milano and this is not the only time that she has been in a situation akin to one presented in the Whoniverse. Back in 1996 she starred in the Outer Limits episode Caught In The Act which has been said to be an influence on Torchwood: Day One in 2006. In Sundays At Tiffany’s Michael was played by Eric Winter. Among Winter’s previous work was Viva Laughlin, the ill-fated US remake of Blackpool and he played the character that was originally played in Blackpool by David Tennant, Smith’s predecessor as the Doctor. So with the aforementioned imaginary friend actors their previous work feels almost like a match; it would have been an exactly match if Tennant instead of Smith had been Amy’s imaginary friend. If there is one difference between The Eleventh Hour & Sundays At Tiffany’s it would have to be Amy and Jane’s respective fiancées. Jane’s fiancée Hugh (Ivan Sergei) is nowhere near as lovable as Rory as Hugh is truly detestable right from the get go.
