The series is proceeded by an online mini adventure on the official site, which runs daily from Monday 27th August. A new segment will appear each day around midday, culminating in all the episodes being available via the red button feature on Saturday 1st September. Featuring Matt Smith, Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill, the story is written by Chris Chibnall.
Series Producer Caroline Skinner says:
‘Chris has written a beautiful, heartfelt and wickedly funny piece about the adventures the Ponds have been having with the Doctor since we last saw them on-screen. It’s not long till the series itself will be back with a vengeance – but in the meantime, Pond Life is a truly heart-warming piece about our best-loved companions and their madcap relationship with their raggedy Doctor.’
Chris Chibnall says:
Pond Life provides us with a lovely opportunity to catch-up with Amy and Rory since we saw them at the end of the last series. It opens with the Ponds at home and gives us an insight in to just what happens when the Doctor drops in and out of their lives. Travelling with the Doctor is one of the greatest things you can do, but it's fun to spend a few moments looking at the chaos he can also bring.
