On 13 January 2016, the Doctor Who Facebook page released a video where "the writing team of Series 9 play a game of Truth or Consequences." It was subsequently released to YouTube, as well.

You may wish to consult Truth or Consequences for other, similarly-named pages.

Aside from "lead writer" Steven Moffat, each writer contributed one passage to the narrative, with only the previous passage for reference. In other words, Mark Gatiss had no idea what anyone had written before Catherine Tregenna, and so on. Steven Moffat both opened and closed the story, and thus was the only writer to have contributed two distinct passages to this exercise.

At the end of the video, viewers are encouraged to carry on the story in the comments, with the words "Over To You", leading to many fan-made continuations.

Text

Steven Moffat (1)

The creature disguised as words fired its deadly ray at the unsuspecting reader out of this full stop.

Catherine Tregenna (2)

The one-eyed reader, hellbent on revenge, knew it was time to call the TARDIS. Words run out in the darkness.

Mark Gatiss (3)

And the TARDIS listened. Listened so hard that the Doctor could hear it thinking, deciding between hope and glory, nirvana or oblivion. It arrived.

Story notes
