According to people online, the fire engine has a 96 registration too.
I wonder about Amy's mysterious aunt, who we never see and who leaves a little girl all on her own at night (and Amelia has that line about how the Doctor's lucky not to have an aunt) - and the house looks abandoned when the Doctor gets to the present day, even though Amy's still living there. I think there's something weird about the village, or at least about Amy's house, and the Doctor knows it.
Were you trying to ring me, by the way? I'm at my parents' and the reception's rubbish.
I'd caution against reading too much into things -- for example, I don't think the Doctor Lady's reaction to Rory's story (haha! poetry!) is that odd -- coma patients speaking aloud is a lot more believable than them getting up and going for a walk. Besides, as I said elsewhere, she's being cast in the role of the staid adult who doesn't believe the childrens' apparently fantastic story; a fairly standard trope.
Similarly, I don't expect to see any real explanation of how such a small community can support a kissogram, or have so many coma patients -- that's the sort of thing that may stretch credulity but doesn't really break it. Maybe Amy mostly commutes but occasionally has gigs in the village too. Maybe at some point they had an outbreak of some coma-inducing disease. Whatever. You can get round these things.
Having said all that, I think there's something weird going on too. There are too many timey-wimey discrepancies for it to be an accident in a Moffat script. He's up to something. Cool innit!
forgot to add in something about the new console. Did you notice the old style dematerisation circuit? I'm not ashamed to admit that I squeed when I saw that!!
No, I hadn't noticed; these things don't really mean much to me. Come to think of it, I don't even know what an old-style dematerialisation circuit looked like!
