Hi all I have just been watching The Pandorica Opens again and at one point, just after when the cyberman's severed arm opens fire, Amy says to the Doctor "who are they? [the cybermen]" . Surely she should know who they are after they invaded in 'Doomsday'? Simple script error or something more (i.e when she cannot remember the Daleks in "VOtD"

If she can't remember the Daleks, why would she remember the Cybermen, who'd previously fought the Daleks in London?
Or a dodgy 60's group!:D
I'm the fifth Amy and the Cybermen, having played bass with them while they were in Stuttgart. What people forget now is that the entire band lasted just eight years in the public glare before Cyber Leader and Cyber Controller fell out.
The Doctor was puzzled by no one remembering the Cyber King.
I'm afraid I suspect the latter. Old Who knew setting episodes prominently featuring aliens in the future would avoid all this; bad for budgets in this "credit crunch" though.
Old Who also knew not to have every other alien either: filling the skies, clogging up national TV or having their mothership float above The Tower Of London, Stonehenge or some other major tourist attraction in broad daylight.
It was revealed it was because of Amy's crack I thought
Now that would be very funny...:D
Really?
Web of Fear, Spearhead from Space, Terror of the Zygons, spring to mind...

*juvenile snigger*:D
sorry:o
Now that brings a whole new "dimension" to the story....
The cracks were actually erasing great chunks of the timeline from history more or less at random, so it's likely the Dalek invasion never happened (until history was reset at the end) which is why Amy couldn't remember it; until the Doctor's remark about her parents though, she was unaware that her memories were incomplete. But I doubt that anyone could remember the invasion at that point. The Daleks were still able to appear in the finale (and in VOTD) because they had time travel, meaning that group were not affected by the affect of the cracks on previous events at that point.
