Untitled (1988 TV story)

25 was the on screen title, uniquely shown narratively as Ace's bracelet rather than a caption, of a mini-episode featuring the Seventh Doctor and Ace which was released in 1988, sandwiched within a larger television broadcast that promoted season 25. This format would become common in the 21st century with the webcast mini-episodes produced to coincide with releases of Doctor Who: The Collection.

Plot
Sitting by the side of a river, Ace ponders a bracelet around her wrist, with the number 25 attached to it. The Seventh Doctor replies, telling her that it has also been 25 years since he first visited Ace's planet. Ace asks if things have gotten more peaceful, as time has moved on, but he only grins at her, trailing off after saying "well".

Now standing, Ace tells the Doctor that surely, after twenty-five years, it's time for a rest, but to him, it's only time to get started; hooking his umbrella around the crook of her arm, he pulls her into the TARDIS.
