Prequels

Throughout the sixth and seventh series beginning with "The Impossible Astronaut", several prequels were released online, which acted as openers for their accompanying episodes. All "prequels" were released ahead of their accompanying episodes, with the exception of "Battle of Demons Run - Two Days Later" which was released after "The Snowmen". The concept is similar to that of the second series, in which each episode had an accompanying Tardisode. In August 2013, a prequel to "Deep Breath" was shown in cinemas prior to the debut of the episode. Two prequels to the ninth series premiere, "The Magician's Apprentice", were released in September 2015. The following year another prequel came out introducing the Doctor's companion Bill Potts. Stories from the original run have also had new scenes and prequels, such as The Evil of the Daleks, which gained an extra prologue for its rebroadcast the following year, as did The Crusade for its 1999 VHS box set release.
