A New York Story (CON episode)
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
A New York Story was the episode of Doctor Who Confidential broadcast in conjunction with Daleks in Manhattan.
A condensed 5 minute version of this episode was made available to download in .mp4 format for seven days after broadcast, as part of a BBC trial of video podcasts.[1] It was later uploaded to the BBC's YouTube channel. Both of these were cropped into 4:3 aspect ratio.
