- You may be looking for the comic story of the same name.
Rory's Story was a webcast that was made specifically for the Doctor Who: Lockdown! event, to coincide with the global online rewatch of The Doctor's Wife.
In the short, Rory Williams records a video message for him and Amy's son Anthony Williams, a character who was previously depicted in the non-valid webcast P.S.. As a result, this short officially establishes Anthony as an in-universe character.
Plot
