Honestly, some of Moffat's best writing for the show. Clearly made with a lot of love, but still very sharp and funny.

[u/elevendayempire]

It's funny just how much of the 1990s stuff was effectively a testbed for the new series when it came back.

You had the New Adventures, which acted as a training ground for many of the Who fans who'd later write for the series, and pioneered the greater emotional depth of the new Who. You had things like The Curse of Fatal Death, where the fans working in TV got to show off the quality of the visuals they could deliver with then-current effects technology (on a pretty minimal budget!). You even had stuff like the TARDIScam shorts (more modern effects work!) and Death Comes To Time, which were effectively pitch reels for a new series.

There's an old article in DWM from 1999 called "We're gonna be bigger than Star Wars!" in which they rounded up all the Who fans then working in TV and asked them how they'd bring Doctor Who back. People like Russell T Davies, Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss. It's remarkably prescient.

Fun fact: I was the lucky guy charged with running the Doctor Who tapes live on Comic Relief night (1999) from their transmission suite to a bunch of Macs elsewhere in Television Centre, London so they could be encoded for streaming in Real Video (remember that?) while my boss ran online proceedings with a Bluetooth headset, which looked really nifty and hi-tech at the time...

That means it's canon, right? Dalek bumps, and all.

"your certain death..is now...certain MWHAHAHHA!"

[u/doubleslash]

It's a long video; I'll watch it later ...

[u/ender89]

That might be the best episode of doctor who I've ever watched.

Blimey, Jonathan Pryce didn't get exploded for once.

Also vibrating sonic screwdriver, actual lol.
