Now that we at SciFi Mafia are back from our holidays, refreshed and, if not regenerated, maybe reanimated, we have time for one last look at the absolutely excellent Christmas episode Doctor Who: The Time of the Doctor, in the form of a deleted scene and a very long lovely look at the making of the episode.

The deleted scene is longer and arguably better than the deleted scene released from the 50th Anniversary special, and as you might expect, the “Behind the Lens” featurette about Matt Smith‘s final episode will require you to pull out your hanky once more.

Ready? One more time: Geronimo!

Blow your noses and take some deep breaths, kids, it’s quite a while til we see Season 8. The good news? They started filming today, so with any luck we’ll get SOME sort of updates soon!

Doctor Who, starring Peter Capaldi and Jenna Coleman, is expected to premiere in late August/early September on BBC America.
