The Doctor Who episode ‘The Unicorn and the Wasp’ originally had an entirely different ending, where the Doctor and Donna visit an elderly Agatha Christie in 1976 and show her directly the legacy her books have. However, at some point during production, Russell T Davies decided to cut both this and the original opening scene, and so a new ending was filmed with the Doctor and Donna discussing Agatha’s books in the TARDIS instead. This video attempts to recreate the original ending for the episode. I hope you enjoy it.

This is what Russell had to say about the original ending on the deleted scenes extra for the Series 4 DVD boxset: “The whole thing was framed by old Agatha in bed. It was a really nice scene that read very well on the page but when you watch the episode you get the feeling that everything was taking place in the past tense; that the Doctor and Donna’s adventure was bracketed by old Agatha recounting her adventures, and it took all drama out of it. So we took a very deep breath with this, and it was a great shame for the actors involved but we cut it…. So this now is the full and complete ending. Having seen old Agatha at the beginning of the episode, the whole story then rounds up at the end of the episode by seeing old Agatha again.”
