How would episodes or scenes change if the Doctor could fly? It's only a collection of short sections of episodes, but through all the seasons a cohesive storyline emerges as the Doctor discovers more and more about the power of flight.

Luke was stunned as the Doctor flew across the road and set him down. Luke stared at him in shock. He backed away.
