Prequel

The Prequels were a series of prologues to certain episodes of Doctor Who from Series 6 and 7. They were released by the BBC on their official site. They were similar to the Tardisodes produced for Series 2.

 * The prequel to The Curse of the Black Spot
 * The prequel to A Good Man Goes to War
 * The prequel to Let's Kill Hitler
 * The prequel to The Wedding of River Song

Series 7

 * The prequel to The Doctor, the Widow and the Wardrobe
 * The prequel to Asylum of the Daleks. A series of webcasts, Pond Life, also acted as a prequel to this story.
 * The Making of the Gunslinger, a prequel to A Town Called Mercy
 * The Snowmen also had two different prequels. The first, The Great Detective, was given a television broadcast as part of the 2012 Children in Need event. The second prequel was released online the following month.
 * The prequel to The Bells of Saint John. Another prequel was released in the build-up to this episode, though it detailed the events which took place just after A Good Man Goes to War and did not directly relate to events or characters from The Bells of Saint John, acting more as another prequel to The Snowmen.
