+'''''The Universe is Calling''''' was a promotional [[mini-episode]], billed as a teaser by the [[BBC]], first broadcast on [[15 July (releases)|15 July]] [[2018 (releases)|2018]] during the half-time of the [[World Cup|football World Cup]] final. The mini-episode comprised of specially shot footage of the [[Thirteenth Doctor]]'s companions experiencing time distortions prior to the arrival of the Doctor, and it served as a teaser for [[series 11 (Doctor Who 2005)|series eleven]] of ''[[Doctor Who (TV series)|Doctor Who]]''.
+== Plot ==
+[[Ryan Sinclair]] is in [[takeaway (The Universe is Calling)|a takeaway]], watching a [[football announcer (The Universe is Calling)|football announcer]] on his [[smart phone]] while eating [[eggs and beans on toast]], when a [[time distortion]] appears around him. In that second, a hand reaches past him and takes a slice of his [[toast]].
+Concurrently, [[Yasmin Khan]] is with [[friend 1 (The Universe is Calling)|two]] [[Friend 2 (The Universe is Calling)|friends]], watching the same football presenter while eating [[pizza]]; Yaz is disappointed to find that one her friends is eating the last slice, but she is quckly distracted by a shaking [[bookcase]]. Another time distortion happens around her, Yaz noticing a flash of the tail-end of a [[grey]] [[coat]], before she looks down and finds the pizza box filed with a fresh pizza.
+Meanwhile, [[Graham O'Brien]] is at [[chip shop (The Universe is Calling)|a chip shop]] whilst reading the ''[[Sheffield Advertiser]]'' [[newspaper]], with the same football presenter on the television behind him, but, not unlike Yaz, is distracted by a flash of a grey coat. Looking back down at his newspaper, he is surprised to see that he is now holding an issue of ''[[The Beano]]''.
+Finally, the [[Thirteenth Doctor]] appears, outside the takeaway where Ryan was not long ago, and she smiles.
