Ncuti Gatwa’s second, and final, series of Doctor Who featured some of the show’s career best offerings, but, as is typically the case, some of the worst episodes always end up being the finales.
This edit of The Reality War takes the final ten minutes of the story and does away with unnecessary exposition, one-sided boss battles, horrendous gaslighting, puts the power back in Ruby Sunday’s hands, and ends with both her and The Doctor ready for another adventure, to be told another time.
Changes:
-
Removed Ruby’s confrontation with Conrad, the infant harbinger is unguarded
-
Omega appearance and final battle completely cut
-
All of The Doctor and Belinda making fun of Ruby and the drawn out conversation in UNIT Tower figuring out whatever the hell Poppy is supposed to be has been removed. When Ruby makes the wish, she resets reality, we cut straight to The Doctor waking up in Belinda’s garden and he finds her safe with Poppy. It is now Ruby who is responsible for rewriting Belinda’s reality.
-
Merged a couple of individual scenes together so The Doctor is once again travelling with Ruby at the end of the episode, only to be interrupted by The Thirteenth Doctor warning of an incoming time schism caused by The Doctor…we end on that cliffhanger.

Billie Piper’s credit removed from ending
