It was adapted from the unused opening sequence of ''[[The Doctor's Wife (TV story)|The Doctor's Wife]]'', which was previously also made into [[Planet of the Rain Gods (comic story)|a comic strip]] for ''[[The Brilliant Book 2012]]''. Unlike the comic, the mini-episode does not replace the aired opening of ''The Doctor's Wife'', but is a standalone story. The original story featured [[Amy Pond]] and [[Rory Williams]], whereas the new version features River Song, who does not appear in ''Doctor's Wife''. As such, this is the first on-screen story to feature River Song that was not written by [[Steven Moffat]] (who is erroneously credited as its writer; the story was actually written by Gaiman). | It was adapted from the unused opening sequence of ''[[The Doctor's Wife (TV story)|The Doctor's Wife]]'', which was previously also made into [[Planet of the Rain Gods (comic story)|a comic strip]] for ''[[The Brilliant Book 2012]]''.

[[Eleventh Doctor|The Doctor]] and [[River Song]] find themselves at the mercy of the natives of the [[planet]] of the Rain Gods, who mean to sacrifice them to their deities, until the Doctor calls upon the [[god]]s themselves to help them out of the fix. | |||
