The Doctor's Meditation (theatrical film)

 was a prequel to the ninth series of Doctor Who, and was released 15 September 2015 in theatres across several countries for general admission.

Plot
In a castle in the unspecified past, when the Doctor was meditating, Bors rushed in. The Time Lord asked Bors how long he'd been there. Bors said about three hours, to which the Doctor became very sullen. Bors asked the Doctor if he had another friend, to which the Doctor exited the castle to build a well.

Bors and his men began to dig a well on the Doctor's orders. Five days later, they had tried eleven different spots and none of them had contained water. Seven days later, they had finally dug a well and Bors offered the Doctor a bucket of it. After the Doctor suggested a visitor's center for the well, Bors dropped the bucket back in, completely frustrated over the Doctor's actions.

Five days later, the Doctor was practicing his magic tricks when Bors told him his order for the throne room extension has been filled. The Doctor, in an attempt to test his magic, asked Bors where the coin he had been practicing with was, to which Bors replied it was still in his hand. Frustrated, the Doctor made it disappear, protesting that the coin was not there and Bors was not an idiot as he had originally thought.

Four days later, Bors prepared the Doctor's final meditation. The Time Lord and he conversed, with the Doctor saying that he only had one day left and Bors replying that the Doctor was incapable of silence. Bors left the Doctor, but a few moments later, the Doctor called Bors back, with the intent of telling the latter his story. The Time Lord said that he recently found a battlefield, and although he had come across many battlefields, this one would be his last.

On another world, soldiers are preparing for battle.
