Doctor Who fans, rejoice! After eight long and and painful months, our first piece of footage has come online with Part 1 of new web series Pond Life!
Sure, we got to see “Good as Gold” in May, but that was a short sketch written by children – and proved to be nothing more than a kitchen sink plug for our black hole-sized Doctor Who void. But at long last we have new material which can be considered canon, and though short, it’s still every bit as sweet as we’d been hoping for!
The official synopsis for “Pond Life Part 1” reads as follows:
Without futher ado, check out the video below – which premiered on the Doctor Who website.
The remaining parts of the web series will be released consecutively over the next four days, ending on an excruciating cliffhanger. For once though, we won’t have long to wait for the answers we’ll undoubtedly crave, as “Asylum of the Daleks” will pick up right where we left off on Saturday in the United Kingdom, United States and Canada.
We’ll see you in 24 hours for the next part of the story, but you can whet your appetite with this short teaser from the second installment.
If you want more Doctor Who goodness, be sure to check out the results of our top 50 episodes poll which was released over the weekend in two parts (one, and two), containing several surprises. Who knows, you may even re-discover an adventure you haven’t watched for a while!
What do you think of the premiere installment of Pond Life? Is it refreshing to see the companion’s life outside of the TARDIS?
