| '''''{{StoryTitle}}''''' was a short scene released online in [[2016 (releases)|2016]], which introduced the character of [[Bill Potts]] to the world. While this was made before the filming of ''[[The Pilot (TV story)|The Pilot]]'', which introduced Bill to the show proper, some elements were re-used and re-purposed for that episode. In the new scene, Bill and the Doctor are in a [[Dalek-Movellan War|Dalek-Movellan]] [[war zone (The Pilot)|war zone]], where they have fled to free themselves from some [[sentient oil]], the main antagonist of that story.

| |
| | |
| == Plot ==
| |
| The [[Twelfth Doctor]] and [[Bill Potts]] are running from a [[Dalek]]. They hide behind a wall, and Bill repeatedly questions the Doctor as to what a Dalek is.
