On the [[Final days of the Time War|Last Day of the Time War]], Leela watches the [[Fall of | On the [[Final days of the Time War|Last Day of the Time War]], Leela watches the [[Fall of Gallifrey]] from a ledge. [[Axton]], addressing, her as "Commander" comes to her. She tells him that [[Gallifrey]] has fallen, but they will face the end with [[courage]]. Axton offers her a [[Wayfinder]], which will enable her to escape. She refuses. Axton explains that it is "his" wish that she survives - Leela asks who "he" is, and Axton explains that it is [[the Doctor]], and that she is his only hope. He implores her to use the device, but is killed by a [[Dalek]]. Using a Dalek [[gunstick]], she destroys it along with another Dalek. Four more Daleks surround her, including a [[Red Dalek (The Final Battle)|commanding red officer]], who declares the Daleks victorious. She identifies herself, announcing herself to be a friend of the Doctor. The Daleks assure her that the Doctor and his allies will be destroyed, but she denies this, activating the Wayfinder. Detecting the transport, the Daleks attempt to exterminate her, without success. | ||
Leela materialises inside [[the Doctor's TARDIS]], much to the [[Fourth Doctor]]'s surprise. | Leela materialises inside [[the Doctor's TARDIS]], much to the [[Fourth Doctor]]'s surprise. | ||

'' | * This is the first live-action appearance of Leela since {{cs|Dimensions in Time (TV story)}}, although [[Louise Jameson]] did play [[Louise Jameson (in-universe)|a fictionalised version of herself]] in {{cs|Home Assistant (webcast)}}, a story which implied she had portrayed a fictional version of Leela. | ||
* This story seemingly takes place shortly after ''[[The Last Day (TV story)|The Last Day]]'' and during the events of [[The Day of the Doctor (TV story)|''The Day of the Doctor'']]. | |||
* This marks the first time that Leela has met the Daleks in live-action. | |||

* This minisode is essentially a {{w|sidequel}} to [[TV]]: {{cs|The Day of the Doctor (TV story)}}, building off that episode's depiction of the Fall of Gallifrey on the final day of the Time War. The minisode also uses the Time Lord armour which was introduced for the episode and first appeared in the mini-episode [[TV]]: ''[[The Last Day (TV story)|The Last Day]]''. | |||
* The Doctor | * Leela refers to herself as a "Warrior of the [[Sevateem]]", harking back to her debut in [[TV]]: {{cs|The Face of Evil (TV story)}}. | ||
