New Doctor Who Prequel Coming

Another mini-episode of Doctor Who will air after the broadcast of Day Of The Moon at approximately 6.45pm, we can reveal. With a running time of two minutes, the story acts as a prelude to the third episode of Season Six, The Curse Of The Black Spot, which takes place on a 1696 pirate ship haunted by a strange ghost called the Siren. We don't know yet what the prequel will entail, but the first prequel gave us a glimpse of the Oval Office and a girl's mysterious calls to President Nixon, so expect the dilemma facing the Doctor, Amy and Rory in Curse to at least be touched upon. As if that weren't enough, spoiler-free reviews of this week's conclusion to the 1960s USA two-parter have revealed that we can expect another big cliffhanger here to leave more questions open as to the nature of the main story arc, so this Saturday evening will probably provoke a lot of discussion! Day Of The Moon airs on BBC One this Saturday at 6pm.
