The First Doctor #22

'Bide-a-Wee' (2004) from Short Trips: Past Tense.

Certainly an interesting premise, very similar to that of Pleasantville, and experiencing the mystery becoming slowly unravelled was intriguing, although I had some fears as to what the story was going to be about when The Doctor first asked Prentice to stay away from the child and then proceeded to take the child to an ice cream parlour by himself... I thought it was about to go to a far darker place than it ended up going (seemingly?), and after that had been de-escalated I suppose my expectations were altered and I didn't find the payoff all too interesting. A fairly simple "the past isn't all that great" story, with some kind of poor characterisation of The First Doctor overall.
