Doctor Who: LOCKDOWN | The Raggedy Doctor by Amelia Pond:



Notes (copied & pasted from youtube):

'The Raggedy Doctor by Amelia Pond' is a short Doctor Who story written by Steven Moffat and narrated by Caitlin Blackwood, who played Amelia Pond in the TV series.

This video was released as part of the #FishCustard global simulcast watch-along of the Doctor Who episode 'The Eleventh Hour', which took place on Friday 3 April 2020 (the 10th anniversary of its first broadcast in 2010).

It was home-produced remotely during the 'lockdown' period of the COVID-19 outbreak in March 2020.

All involved in the making of this video contributed their time and talent for free. If you enjoyed it, it would great if you could consider making a donation to The Film and TV Charity's COVID-19 Emergency Relief Fund, to support the creative community which has been affected by the Coronavirus pandemic: https://justgiving.com/fundraising/doctorwholockdown

I have been saying for years now that Moffat has been re-booting the show… Here is how he did it.

Note: This is not the place to post lengthy theories/thoughts/meta/reactions to every beat of the episode. (Please don't bitch - all you would accomplish would be a) to make me sad and b) make me determined to like/defend the thing you bitched about.) This is all about Pond love & saying goodbye to Eleven/hello to 'Twelve'. Basically it's fic, so treat it as such. Meta to come, don't worry. ♥

'Oh and that's my new personal canon, by the way: when the Doc regenerates, his older self isn't gone, it just goes home and watches his current self on the TV'
