An '''untitled television story''' featuring the [[Seventh Doctor]] and [[Ace]] was released in [[1988 (releases)|1988]], sandwiched within [[Season 25 (trailer)|a larger television broadcast]] that promoted [[season 25]]. This format would become common in the 21st century with the webcast [[mini-episode]]s produced to coincide with releases of ''[[Doctor Who (TV series)|Doctor Who]]'': ''[[The Collection]]''. | |||
== Plot == | |||
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". | |||
Now standing, Ace tells the Doctor that surely, after twenty-five years, it's time for a rest, but to him, it's only time to get started; hooking [[The Doctor's umbrella|his umbrella]] around the crook of her [[arm]], he pulls her into [[the Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]]. | |||

(In order of appearance) | |||
* [[Ace]] - [[Sophie Aldred]] (uncredited) | |||
* [[Seventh Doctor]] - [[Sylvester McCoy]] (uncredited) | |||
== References == | |||
* There is a [[house]] near the river, and there are many [[tree]]s. | |||
== Notes == | == Notes == | ||
* 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 short appears to have been filmed during production of ''[[Silver Nemesis (TV story)|Silver Nemesis]]'', with the river being the same one the Doctor and Ace dive into within that story. | |||
