Just re-watched Amy's Choice and The Hungry Earth. My dad's a few weeks behind and still needs to catch up

People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but *actually* from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint... it happens to kinda look like the name 'Jeremy Bearimy' in cursive English.
Last night I watched Torchwood - Everything Changes. Because I couldn't remember what Capt Jack said about perception filters. I wanted to know as there seem to have been a lot of references to it in this latest DW season.
If you are curious he said
Spoiler:
JACK: It's called a perception filter. He can sort of see us, but we don't quite
register. Just like something in the corner of your eye. It only works on this exact spot.
Step off ... (He steps off. Gwen follows.) Hi!
(A woman walks by and is startled.)
JACK: Nice night!
(She looks up at them as if just seeing them.)
JACK: And lo, we are perceived.
(Jack takes a couple of steps away. Gwen looks at the concrete block.)
GWEN COOPER: How does it work?
JACK: No idea. We know how to use it, not how it happens. But if I were to guess, I
would say that there was once a dimensionally transcendental chameleon-circuit placed
right on this spot which welded its perception properties to a spatio-temporal rift.
Now I'm pondering on how that relates to the one in Amy's house.
And tonight I think I'm going to watch Black Orchid.

Doesn't matter if it's Classic Who or New Who, IT ALL COUNTS!
Indeed. The show we watch today isn't Doctor Who: "The Next Generation" or a spin-off nor is it a reboot or a remake. It's continuing the adventures of that same man who stumbled into a Junkyard back in 1963.

The only reason that the Torchwood lift has a Perception Filter is because the TARDIS landed there. Because of the Rift, the properties of the TARDIS' Perception Filter and Chameleon Circuit cloaking device have remained behind. My guess is that as well as a Perception Filter, the TARDIS-type of machine we saw in The Lodger had a Chameleon Circuit too. TARDIS' seem to be the main reason behind Perception Filters so its possible that a TARDIS is behind the one in Amy's house too.
