An '''untitled [[mini-episode]]''' featuring [[Sylvester McCoy]] as the [[Seventh Doctor]] and [[Sophie Aldred]] as [[Ace]] was released in [[1988 (releases)|1988]] to promote [[Season 25 (Doctor Who 1963)|Season 25]] of ''[[Doctor Who (TV series)|Doctor Who]]''. | |||
On [[4 July (releases)|4 July]] [[2024 (releases)|2024]], the mini-episode was re-released on the announcement trailer for the ''[[The Collection]]'' box set of Season 25, with upscaled visuals and a period setting. | |||

Sitting by the side of a [[river]], [[Ace]] ponders a [[bracelet]] around her [[wrist]], with the number [[25 (number)|25]] attached to it. The [[Seventh Doctor]] replies, telling her that it has also been [[The Doctor and Susan's escape from Gallifrey|25 years since he first visited]] Ace's [[Earth|planet]]. Ace asks if things have gotten more peaceful, as time has moved on, but he only grins at her, trailing off after saying "well". | Sitting by the side of a [[river]], [[Ace]] ponders a [[bracelet]] around her [[wrist]], with the number [[25 (number)|25]] attached to it.

* Ace's line about resting after twenty-five years seems to be an allusion to the criticism that the series garnered at the time, and the Doctor's reply only getting started is loaded in meta subtext. In bitter irony, the series would only continue for [[Season 26|one more season]] before the cancellation in [[1989 (production)|1989]]. | * The re-release on ''[[The Collection]]'' adds two black cards that reads "[[1988]]" and "Somewhere in [[England]]", something not present in the original broadcast advertisement in [[1988 (releases)|1988]] on [[BBC One]]. | ||

* The short appears to have been filmed during production of {{cs|Silver Nemesis (TV story)}}, with the river being the same one the Doctor and Ace dive into to escape the [[Cybermen]]'s [[Walkman]] slaves in that story. | |||
