Rain Gods (home video)

Rain Gods was a mini-episode made exclusively for the Doctor Who: The Complete Seventh Series DVD and Blu-ray box sets.

It is adapted from the unused opening sequence of TV: The Doctor's Wife, which was previously also adapted as a comic strip for The Brilliant Book 2012. Unlike the comic, the mini-episode does not replace the aired opening of The Doctor's Wife, but is a standalone story. The original story featured Amy Pond and and Rory Williams, whereas the new version features River Song.

Plot
The Doctor and River Song find themselves at the mercy of the natives of the Planet of the Rain Gods, until the Doctor calls upon the gods to help them out of the fix.

Cast

 * The Doctor - Matt Smith
 * River Song - Alex Kingston

Behind the scenes

 * While Steven Moffat is credited as the writer on-screen, the story was actually written by Neil Gaiman. The North American release of the box set in turn erroneously credits Gaiman as the writer of The Name of the Doctor.
 * Including opening credits, the minisode's running time is approximately 100 seconds, making it one of the shortest Doctor Who storylines ever.
