[Do you hear that? It's that voice. You know the one. The incredibly excited, normally accompanied by badass theme music one.]Hellooooooooooo, residents of the Tower! Towerites! Towerians! Towerererererers.
I'm The Doctor, but most of you know that.
What you don't know--or rather,
who--is the Ponds. My Ponds. My absolute favorite, simply incredibly, delightfully average, one half mad ginger, one half large-nosed Roman,
couple. They're here, and I want you all to know that Team Pond Doctor--or maybe
Doctor Pond--is working on helping you all escape.
[He frowns a little, and his voice lowers.] I realize that I've...failed you recently, but I want you to know that it won't happen again. And if any of you need anything, do not hesitate to ask me for help.
