What Happened To Rory’s Dad – Video Now Live
What Happened To Rory’s Dad, Brian Williams?
From the official site…
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.’

October 12th, 2012 - 4:41pmThis is so sad, shame it wasn’t filmed. Amy and Rory I think by the looks of it went to the 1700’s?

October 12th, 2012 - 4:32pmSome of his episodes weren’t great, I’d be happy with him or Mark Gatiss, however, I think Chris Chibnall would do a better job.

October 12th, 2012 - 2:44pmKinda feel glad this was not used for the ending of the Angels take Manhatten, assuming this was intended to be the ending, cos the real ending to the episode, showing Katlin Blackwood as young Amelia using footage from the Eleventh Hour finished Amy’s story wonderfully . . . . oh, and Rory’s 🙂 😉

October 12th, 2012 - 2:23pmBeautiful, thank God they didn’t put it in the episode or I would’ve needed sedation I was in a bad enough state with the filmed ending.

October 12th, 2012 - 12:45pmHad this been left in the damn episode, it would have been the best most powerful scene. I like Rory and his Dad and this scene is extremely sad.

October 12th, 2012 - 12:24pmI agree with you there. At least we now know that Amy and Rory lived happily after the events of TATM. It is a shame that this was never shot though, it would have made quite a good little scene.

October 12th, 2012 - 9:10amThis has always got me thinking a lot. Hopefully the Doctor won’t be a jerk and tell Brian what has happened, i wouldn’t know what i would do. If i was in that situation i would have to force myself to do so.

October 12th, 2012 - 12:04amThis will definitely make me shed a tear. I think that all the fans wanted to know what happened to Brian Williams and this is how we’re going to find out. Although it is sad that we won’t be able to see it with real actors and they didn’t get around to filming it. I hope the animation that they use is good.

October 11th, 2012 - 10:31pmChris Chibnall did an excellent job with dinosaurs on a spaceship which was in my opinion, the best episode of Series 7. He should be in charge of Doctor who and should replace Moffat because his episodes are actually exciting.

October 11th, 2012 - 5:23pmI think somehow The Doctor will take Brian back to their time so he can stay with them…watering the plants there. 😆
