From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference

I know I'm retreading ground here, but I would easily compare it to something like Prequel (The Doctor, the Widow and the Wardrobe).
I think it was a short narrative to introduce the companion to the fans, and I think Moffat liked it enough to make it part of the actual narrative. It's a special case, but I don't think I would call it an "Advertisement."
