Mid-credits scene

A mid-credits scene was a scene from an episode of Doctor Who or any of its spin-offs that was present, as the name suggest, in the middle of the end credits. It would usually show up directly after the cast list had scrolled through on the screen.

A mid-credits scene appeared in the Series 8 TV story Death in Heaven. It showed the Twelfth Doctor in the aftermaths of having left Clara Oswald behind on Earth and realising Missy had lied about Gallifrey returning to its original position in space and time. The Doctor is sorrowfully sleeping by the TARDIS console as someone knocks on the door. Not answering, he hears a voice calling to him saying "she’s not alright". Still not answering, the figure decides to enter on his own, revealing himself to be Santa Claus, asking him "what do you want for Christmas". The scene ends and reveal another name, Nick Frost.

The Series 13 episode Village of the Angels featured a mid-credits scene in the form of a glitch, both as it started and as it ended. Inston-Vee Vinder appears on the planet Puzano in his pursue of his lover Bel, whom he had been seperated from in the chaos of the Flux and having been stationed at Observation Outpost Rose. He meets Namaca Ost Parvess Po who leads him to a holographic message left behind for him by Bel, telling him that they will find eachother soon. Being cut short before she could give the coordinates, he promises to find her and walks off.
