'''''{{PAGENAME}}''''' was a documentary co-produced by [[BBC America]], [[BBC Worldwide]] and [[BBC Wales]]. It was essentially a recap of the story arc of [[series 5 (Doctor Who)|series 5]], with emphasis on the narrative points likely to recur in [[series 6 (Doctor Who)|series 6]]. It debuted on [[BBCA]] immediately before their premiere of ''[[The Impossible Astronaut]]''. It was a sequel of sorts to ''[[The Ultimate Guide (2010 documentary)|The Ultimate Guide]]'', a similar documentary made by many of the same [[BBCA]] crew. | '''''{{PAGENAME}}''''' was a documentary co-produced by [[BBC America]], [[BBC Worldwide]] and [[BBC Wales]].

While it was intended principally to attract those unfamiliar with ''Doctor Who'', it had a few very brief glimpses at elements of series 6 that had not yet appeared in any trailer or preview — primarily views of ''[[The Curse of the Black Spot]]'' and ''[[The Doctor's Wife]]''. Moreover, it gave some of the earliest glimpses of the second half of series 6 seen anywhere. Footage showing the Doctor apparently lost in an ornate hallway was used to underline [[Michael Pickwoad]]'s discussion of [[production designer|production design]] and proved particularly mysterious long after the series began transmission. Since it appeared in no video released by [[BBC One]], it appears to have been a BBCA exclusive to which British audiences weren't privy — at least through the broadcast of ''Curse''. A [[clapper]] briefly glimpsed in the documentary revealed the footage came from episode 11, ''[[The God Complex]]''. | While it was intended principally to attract those unfamiliar with ''Doctor Who'', it had a few very brief glimpses at elements of series 6 that had not yet appeared in any trailer or preview — primarily views of ''[[The Curse of the Black Spot (TV story)|The Curse of the Black Spot]]'' and ''[[The Doctor's Wife (TV story)|The Doctor's Wife]]''.

Though it had significant new material, it also substantially reused BBCA-exclusive interviews already made available to [[United States]] citizens on the region-locked, official BBCA ''Doctor Who'' website during 2010 and early 2011. | Though it had significant new material, it also substantially reused BBCA-exclusive interviews already made available to [[United States]] citizens on the region-locked, official BBCA ''Doctor Who'' website during 2010 and early 2011. |
