Chris Chibnall apparently wrote a scene to explain this, but it was never shot. But tomorrow, the doctor who website will be bringing the scene to life using storyboards and a voice over by Arthur Darvill!

Thanks for posting that, davros.
Looking forward to seeing this.
Doctor "Brian, I am so, so sorry" {sniffles}
Brian "They're dead, aren't they?"
Doctor "Yes, well no, sort of, they are trapped back in the 1930's and we can't ever go back for them"
Doctor "I do have someone you need to meet though"
Brian "Who?"
Doctor "Your granddaughter, Melody."
River "Hello Grandad."
Brian "Your Rory's daughter."
River "Yes, its good to see you again."
Brian "Again? I don't remember you. Actually my son had a friend called Mels, haven't seen her for a while, was a bit of a nutter really, kept stealing busses"
Doctor "Busses???"
River "Yeah, that was me, in my last body. And there's nothing wrong the using public transport!"
Brian "What do you mean your last body?"
River "I was conceived in the Tardis, and then genetically modified by some evil religious types, which makes me the human equivalent of a Time Lord with the ability to regenerate. This is my third body"
Doctor "Busses???"
River "Oh shut up sweetie!"
I hope it is. I loved it.
And this means (presumably) we will never see Brian again
I wonder how Amy's parents get told, is that left to Brian
P.S Dad please tell Amy's parents even though they know nothing about us Time Travelling.
What an end to the Ponds. That's the proper end for me.
Loved it! And Arthur's narration was perfect - really touching.
Really wish they'd filmed that as it's a much more satisfying end to Amy and Rory's story.
I'd like to think they didn't film it to allow an opportunity for Brian to reappear at some point, even though that's not likely the case.
Me too, but then they chose to release it...so I'm not hopeful. Tears all round here
I thought Amy's letter to the Doctor was very similar to Kathy's letter.
Its a shame this scene wasn't shot - its nice when the show reflects on the repercussions on family and friends of the companions. And Rory's exit - as it was - seemed more of a device to explain Amy's departure, than a respectful end for Rory himself. This ending would have given his exit a bit more oommph!
Besides, if this adoptive grandson could deliver a message to Brian, then the Ponds could deliver messages, so why couldn't they communicate with the Doctor?
I still think it was a poor ending for the Ponds.
So on balance, I think it was a good editorial decision, even though I would have loved to see it at the same time.
I suspect this is something they've come up with in reponse to all of the cries of "What about Brian?" from fans.
I cry!
