Doctor Who - The Impossible Astronaut (CONTAINS POSSIBLE SPOILERS)
"What does it depict that's impossible in reality?"
It depicts the theory of time travel as true and that irregularities are present everywhere and should be viewed as fact. It also presents the idea that many things deemed fictitious are in fact real: astronaut emerging from a lake, other lifeforms present on earth aside from humankind, etc.
"What visual effects does it use to accomplish this?"
Visual effects that are/may be used are include: proper camera work (panning, proper framing, etc.) green screening, great set and enviornment setting. As well as 3D object rendering (the TARDIS) and other effects (the gun flare from the astronaut)
"Why these effects?"
I personally think that the effects used within the show help to draw the viewer into the Doctor's universe. Without them we would just have props. The show would be entertaining, but it would in no way be the same. The visual effects present in the series help to bring it to life in a way never before possible. The tale of the Doctor and his companions is all that more telling with the use of visual effects.
