12 Things We Learnt from the New Trailer
The Doctor Who Team
Here are 12 things we gleaned from the new trailer along with a few questions we want answering…
The Doctor and Clara are closer than ever.
After her early reticence last series, Clara is now definitely embracing the Doctor… That hug in the TARDIS says it all.
Monsters!
Doctor Who means monsters, right? But in this interview exec producer Brian Minchin promised more new monsters than returning foes, and judging by the trailer, he was spot on! Look at these beauties…
Daleks!
Okay, is that REALLY a Special Weapons Dalek we can see - left of screen - at 45 seconds in? But hold the phone – check out the shot below… That’s one of the so-called 60s Daleks isn’t it? Nearest the door at the back. And there’s another old school Dalek on the upper level… What’s going on? Vision impaired! We cannot see what is happening!
The TARDIS looks better than ever…
We glimpsed it in the first trailer but now get more of the TARDIS interior. We love those new round things. But… What are the round things? No idea.
Osgood Grief!
Is that Osgood? Looks to us like she’s in a war torn area, a little like the one we saw Danny Pink fighting in during last year’s finale. Be careful, Osgood! We don’t want to lose you… again!
Missy
Great to see she’s as bananas as ever. Laughing at the Dalek. There’s confidence. Or insanity. Or insane confidence. Woo!
Missy vs the Daleks
Actually, this proves that Missy comes face-to-eyestalk with the Daleks. They forged an alliance once before, but surely after the Time War, she couldn’t be working with them again?
Amazin’ Morphin’ Maisie…
Different looks for the Game of Thrones star… Or should that be Game of Thrones Stark?
Ready, Aim…
Love this shot (geddit?) but what’s going on? A bazooka? Could this be from the Viking episode? Surely it couldn’t mean… No. Surely not.
Fire!
There’s a dragon! Now, that’s how you do a dragon.
The Doctor’s new(ish) look…
There’s the hoodie thing going on and we’ve already clocked the red velvet jacket, but aside from all that, he just looks more relaxed, doesn’t he? I mean, as relaxed as you can be when you’ve got a cosmos to save.
The whole thing!
The whole trailer oozes excitement, fun, friendship and action. And that’s no surprise but great to see that this series looks like it’ll ramp up all the things we love about Doctor Who… Born to save the universe… And make Saturday nights the best night of the week!
