An untitled mini-episode featuring the Sylvester McCoy as Seventh Doctor and Sophie Aldred as Ace was released in 1988 to promote Season 25 of Doctor Who.
Plot
Sitting by the side of a river, Ace ponders a bracelet around her wrist, with the number 25 attached to it. The Seventh Doctor replies, telling her that it has also been 25 years since he first visited Ace's planet. Ace asks if things have gotten more peaceful, as time has moved on, but he only grins at her, trailing off after saying "well".
Now standing, Ace tells the Doctor that surely, after twenty-five years, it's time for a rest, but to him, it's only time to get started; hooking his umbrella around the crook of her arm, he pulls her into the TARDIS.
- "C'mon Ace!"
Cast

Notes
- Ace's line about resting after twenty-five years seems to be an allusion to the criticism that the series garnered at the time, and the Doctor's reply only getting started is loaded in meta subtext. In bitter irony, the series would only continue for one more season before the cancellation in 1989.
- The short appears to have been filmed during production of Silver Nemesis, with the river being the same one the Doctor and Ace dive into within that story.
Continuity
