The Magician's Apprentice: What We Know So Far (webcast)

The Magician's Apprentice: What We Know So Far was the fourth episode of The Fan Show, released on the Doctor Who YouTube Channel.

It featured no standalone Doctor Who skit as other episodes did; instead, the wholly documentary segments with Christel Dee as herself bled into a more fictionalised, satirical sequence of satirical fiction covering fan opinion on Game of Thrones actor Maisie Williams making the jump to Doctor Who in the style of a sports broadcast regarding a player changing teams. It saw a barely-costumed Christel Dee playing "Pete Lannister" and "Gendry Temple-Noble", two TV reporters, and also mentioned Davros and the Daleks as if they were real beings. Due to its overtly parodical nature and not being a standalone story, the skit is, of course, not considered a valid source on this Wiki.
