A prequel to Deep Breath was broadcast exclusively in cinema, making it the first canonical one to do so and the first since 1966 with the exclusion of The Day of the Doctor introduction.
Summary
The Paternoster Gang are in a spaceship that is going to crash in London. While Jenny Flint and Vastra guide the ship into water, Strax sends a message to Sontar on the topic of the Doctor's ability to regenerate. As he reaches the end of the message, he is interrupted by Jenny and told that they're about to parachute off the ship. As the gang leaves the ship, Vastra mentions that a dinosaur has been sighted in the River Thames.
