[[caption-width-right:350:"Ood on the loo."]]

A series of Website/YouTube released mini-episodes, Written by Chris Chibnall. Similar to the "Night and the Doctor" mini-episodes, these have a MinimalistCast of just Amy, Rory, and the Doctor. And an Ood.

----

'''April:''' The Doctor leaves a voicemail for Amy and Rory's home phone. So far, he escaped from the Sontarans through surfing on lava, met Mata Hari, and made a rap record. The call ends with the Doctor having the usual TARDIS issues.

Then Rory and Amy have a drink like they're playing some kind of drinking game with their voicemail...

'''May:''' The Doctor drops in on Amy and Rory asleep in bed. The Doctor tells them that the planet is in danger, but apparently he got them at the wrong time. Then the Doctor tells them that the future is really safe. [[BlatantLies Really, really safe.]]

'''June:''' Rory is about to go to the bathroom but finds something inside there. After a double take, Amy walks in to the hallway. The two of them look inside. It's an Ood!

'''July:''' The Ood continues to live with Amy and Rory as their butler. The Doctor promises he'll come pick it up eventually, but first he has to deal with the TARDIS about to implode.

'''August:''' The Doctor calls the Ponds to say he picked up the Ood and that he popped round for a visit, but they weren't home. He tells them to call him if they need him, but ends up deleting the message right before Amy comes back to an empty house. Flashback to Rory leaving in anger after the couple had a big argument.

----
!!Tropes:

* AlternativeHipHop: The Doctor apparently made a rap record. No, ''really!''
* BetweenMyLegs: MataHari
* BlatantLies: After making a big show of running in on Amy and Rory in bed ([[NoodleIncident again]]) to tell them that the Earth is in danger, the Doctor almost immediately rescinds his comment on finding out that he came too early, and says that the future is safe. Really, ''really'' safe.
* ContinuityNod: Sharp-eared viewers will hear the Doctor mention the [[Recap/TheSarahJaneAdventuresS3E1E2PrisonerOfTheJudoon Androvax]] Conflict. Whether they're referring to the same Androvax from ''Series/TheSarahJaneAdventures'' or simply recycling the name is unclear.
* DrinkingGame: Rory and Amy seem to play one whilst listening what the Doctor's been up to...
* {{Flashback}}: The reason for the MoodWhiplash is related to one. The reason for it is revealed in the first episode of Series 7.
* LiteralMetaphor: The Doctor once mentions that he'll be at the couple's place any day. ''[[TimeTravel Literally]]'' any day.
* MoodWhiplash: "August" [[TearJerker has a big one]]. We now know why. Because of experimentation at Demon's Run, Amy can no longer have children. [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy Knowing as she does how much Rory wants them...]]
* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: The Doctor walks in on Amy and Rory in bed, then sits down on the bed.
* NoodleIncident: Apparently the Doctor has walked in on Amy and Rory before. He also may have accidentally invented pasta.
* PrettyFlyForAWhiteGuy: Or for a Time Lord. Again, rapping Doctor.
* SliceOfLife: A rare ''Doctor Who'' example.
* SomethingElseAlsoRises: The Doctor's bread as he watches Mata Hari's DressHitsFloor.
* TheThingThatWouldNotLeave: The Ood that briefly ends up living with Amy and Rory.
* VisualPun: Faced with a nude MataHari while toasting a bread product, the Doctor can't take his eyes off the crumpet.
* WhamEpisode: "August"
