A Hero like the Doctor, also just called Hero[1], was a Doctor Who minisode webcast in 2017, coinciding with the debut of Series 10. It mostly featured the Twelfth Doctor adventuring alone, but the narration was read by Pearl Mackie (who played Bill Potts) and Bill was seen by his side in the final shot.
Synopsis[[edit] | [edit source]]
Bill Potts reflects on the qualities of the Twelfth Doctor. While she speaks, he is seen evading a group of tanks trying to destroy the TARDIS as well as a Black Dalek, before finally landing on an alien planet where a Pompeii-like city is being destroyed by a volcano erupting. Making his way through the abandoned, already crumbling city, the Doctor finds a single bird which had been left behind, trapped in its cage and therefore unable to escape. He rescues the bird and then sets it free from the peak of a mountain in a more peaceful area of the planet, in the presence of a delighted Bill.

Worldbuilding[[edit] | [edit source]]
- The Doctor has "an extra heart".
Story notes[[edit] | [edit source]]
- Bill's summary of "what kind of hero the Doctor is" echoes the words of Steven Moffat in 2013.[2]
Production errors[[edit] | [edit source]]
to be added
Continuity[[edit] | [edit source]]
- The Twelfth Doctor is seen risking his life to rescue a single bird from a volcanic eruption destroying a marble city. The Tenth Doctor's fateful decision to "just save someone" at Pompeii (TV: The Fires of Pompeii) had previously been shown to have been a formative event for the Twelfth Doctor's code of conduct. (TV: The Girl Who Died)
