The DW website has announced a new short video to be released tomorrow filling in some info on Brian & the Ponds post TATM. Here's the announcement: Rory’s dad, Brian Williams, only appeared in two episodes but swiftly established himself as a favourite amongst Doctor Who’s audience. After Amy and Rory’s heart-breaking departure in The Angels Take Manhattan we received many emails asking what happened next to Brian. Did he ever find out what took his son and daughter-in-law? If so, how? And would Brian – and viewers - ever learn more about Amy and Rory’s life after the Doctor?
A special scene was written by Chris Chibnall that revealed some of the answers but sadly, the sequence was never shot. However, we’re happy to announce that we’ll be bringing you the scene tomorrow. Using animated storyboards and a voice-over specially recorded by Arthur Darvill, we’ll discover more about Brian and the Ponds, post-Angels.
It begins with Brian alone, doing what he once told the Doctor must be done – watering the plants. But his life is about to change forever…
Doctor Who’s Executive Producer, Caro Skinner, said, ‘We’re delighted we can present this lovely scene written by Chris Chibnall. People took Rory’s dad, Brian, to their hearts very quickly, so it’s fitting we can give the character a degree of closure in this poignant piece.’SourceI'll try to get it up on here asap  |

That was great, very reminiscent of "Blink". Still, I think news like that should have come from the Doctor. He owed Brian that much. Plus, he could have met his other grandchild!  |

I thought of Blink too. And it didn't occur to me till DAK's last comment that River's Brian's granddaughter.
That was a nice scene, although I can't really see where it would have fitted into the episode.

I think that would have been nice as an after credits sequence, or something like that. It's a nice little scene and it's nice that Brian was sort of addressed, though I don't think the episode lacked anything because of it wasn't included.
