A prequel to Asylum of the Daleks written by Steven Moffat has been made available to season pass subscribers on the North American iTunes store and Amazon Instant Video. The prequel can also be found on YouTube via unofficial sources.
Dalek operator, Barnaby Edwards, plays the mysterious hooded stranger who informs the Doctor - via a dream message - that his help is required and that he must meet Darla Von Karlsen on Skaro.

The synopsis for the prequel is:

The BBC have now released the trailer for next week's episode, Dinosaurs on a Spaceship, plus an introduction to the episode by Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill.

There is also a gallery depicting production designs from the story.
