The BBC have released a special scene that tells the tale of what happened to Brian Williams after the departure of his son Rory and wife Amy at the end of The Power of Three.

Executive Producer Caroline Skinner said:

The third and final part of the fan reimagining of Power Of The Daleks has been released online.

The film is an adaptation of the Second Doctor's debut adventure, which has been reworked and directed by Nick Scovell, who stars as the Doctor in this version. Also in the cast are Nicholas Briggs, Lisa Bowerman, and Barnaby Edwards.


As previously reported, the film will be shown in full and in high definition at the Doctor Who Appreciation Society's Riverside Reflections convention in London on Sunday 21st October, where it is now hoped the man behind the iconic Dalek design, Raymond Cusick, will join the original director of Power of the Daleks - Christopher Barry - and actress Anneke Wills, who played companion Polly in the TV version, among the guests.

The film has been made by the people behind the acclaimed Portsmouth stage productions of The Web of Fear, Fury From The Deep, The Evil of the Daleks, and The Dalek Masterplan (the latter having been renamed from the original 12-parter).

The BBC have now released The Last Day of the Ponds, a twelve-minute programme taking an emotional look at Amy and Rory’s time on Doctor Who. The confidentialette features Matt Smith, Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill sharing their memories of working on the series, and their feelings over filming their final farewell scenes together.

There is also a video with the production team discussing the making of the episode, plus a collection of images covering production artwork and behind-the-scenes shots.
