Doctor Who has dropped a never-before-seen deleted scene from mysterious season 14 episode 73 Yards, which revisits Ruby Sunday (Millie Gibson) during some of her darkest days.
The acclaimed adventure sees the Doctor suddenly disappear after breaking a fairy circle during a trip to Wales, leaving Ruby on her own and wondering where on Earth (or elsewhere) he could have gone.
To make matters worse, she begins seeing a mysterious figure 73 yards away that she can never catch up to, and whenever anyone else approaches it they abandon Ruby in horror at whatever it has told them.
This amounts to Ruby spending many years of her life alone, with this deleted moment shared over the weekend seeing her return to the vacant TARDIS in the hope of getting through to her lost friend.
Watch below:
73 Yards ultimately left fans with more questions than answers regarding its perplexing mystery, but the episode was referenced once again in season 14 finale Empire of Death, suggesting its events are firmly embedded in the franchise canon.
We'll just have to wait and see if any further references to 73 Yards occur in the upcoming Doctor Who season 15, but the X post above seems to suggest that we will at least get a peek at more bonus material later this month.
