Vastra Investigates: A Christmas Prequel was a webcast and prequel produced for the 2012 Christmas special. It was the second prequel to be produced, after The Great Detective, which aired in November during Children in Need.

Synopsis

Madame Vastra, accompanied by her loyal companions Jenny and Strax, is called upon to investigate a Victorian murder mystery. But where is the Doctor?

Plot

Madame Vastra, Jenny Flint and Strax are at the end of a case involving identical twins, undetectable poison and an Egyptian curse. As Strax leads the culprit away for obliteration, a detective from Scotland Yard requests that he be held for questioning instead. Jenny apologises for Strax as "he's new". The officer thinks Strax is Turkish, but Vastra explains his alien origins to the officer's astonishment. The officer also inquires of Vastra's "skin condition" and she explains her Silurian heritage and her initial disgust at "ape" (human) society after being awoken - but changed her thoughts when she fell in love. Thinking she means with "the Turkish fellow" (Strax), the officer is astounded to learn her partner is Jenny.

On the carriage ride home, during a discussion about the Doctor's retirement, Jenny notices it is beginning to snow. Vastra voices that the snow is impossible due to the fact that there are no clouds in the sky.
