What happens

Night and the Doctor is a series of five made-for-DVD mini-episodes of Doctor Who which were written by Steven Moffat. They were released as bonus features in the Complete Sixth Series DVD and Blu-ray box sets in November 2011. The first four are narratively linked, centring on the question, "What does the Doctor do at night when his companions are asleep?" and take place in the console room of the TARDIS. The fifth one precedes the events of the episode "Closing Time". No cast or crew were credited for any of the five episodes except for writer Steven Moffat. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
