The Storyteller (webcast)
The Storyteller was a Doctor Who mini-episode written by Pete McTighe, and released in 2022. A trailer for the Season 2 Doctor Who Blu-ray and interview clips with various actors who had appeared in Season 2 appeared after the mini-episode and before the credits as a kind of ad break. A sequel to The Myth Makers, and possibly Frostfire as well, the webcast featured the return of Maureen O'Brien to the part of Vicki Pallister on screen.
Summary
Vicki is telling one of her stories. She conjures up images of the crash of the UK-201, speaking of how she was once a lost orphan on Dido before a battered old police box entered her life. In the TARDIS she found a home, and in Ian, Barbara, Steven and the First Doctor a family. Their many adventures changed her life, before eventually she arrived on Earth circa 1200 BC to her new family. Vicki then teaches her granddaughter Sophia about the importance of storytelling through many art-forms in order to keep stories alive, before Sophia urges her grandmother to tell her another. Vicki remarks that Sophia's mother was less interested when she was Sophia's age, before asking which story Sophia would like. Her request is to hear the story about the Daleks and Dracula again.
