The BBC have announced a new series of mini-episodes of Doctor Who called Pond Life that all together act as a prequel to Asylum of the Daleks, read on for further details:
Matt Smith returns as the Doctor and called Asylum of the Daleks ‘a
cracker’, adding, ‘Steven Moffat has written an absolute belter and we
have made the Daleks scary again’. But before that, we have Pond Life
to look forward to!
Featuring the Doctor, Amy and Rory, this
five-part mini-adventure premieres on the official Doctor Who website at noon on Monday with
parts 2-5 stripped daily across the week. Written by Chris Chibnall and
directed by Saul Metzstein, the omnibus version of Pond Life will be
shown on the BBC Red Button on Saturday, 1st September.

Chibnall commented, "Pond Life provides us with a lovely opportunity to
catch-up with Amy and Rory since we saw them at the end of the last
series. It opens with the Ponds at home and gives us an insight in to
just what happens when the Doctor drops in and out of their lives.
Travelling with the Doctor is one of the greatest things you can do, but
it's fun to spend a few moments looking at the chaos he can also
bring."
Caroline Skinner, executive producer, said "Chris has
written a beautiful, heartfelt and wickedly funny piece about the
adventures the Ponds have been having with the Doctor since we last saw
them on-screen. It's not long till the series itself will be back with a
vengeance - but in the meantime, Pond Life is a truly heart-warming
piece about our best-loved companions and their madcap relationship with
their raggedy Doctor."
