Is that it?

I honestly thought they were showing a BBC Ident before the actual trailer!

Hopefully we will get a '25 things you missed in the new trailer' soon!!

My thoughts too.

To say the news of a trailer was all over the BBC on Friday it was hardly worth bothering with.

The like i gave you was for your thoughts not the actual trailer itself. :)

Mojo 15th July 2018 06:54 PM

I agree. Nobody expected huge spoilers and so on, but that was a complete waste of time ( pun intended ).

10 things we noticed in the new Doctor Who trailer | The Metro

Roughale 16th July 2018 07:31 AM

I have to try not to rant too much, but I don't like that teaser very much, the look reminds me of that drreadful spin-off Class - I know 40 seconds are not much and may mislead me, that is my only hope now, as I would be very sad if they messed this up...

iank 16th July 2018 08:34 AM

The Daily Mirror is claiming that both The Macra Terror and the four missing episodes of The Wheel in Space are being animated by the BBC for DVD/Blu ray release.*

I wonder if the new series will start a little earlier than October?

It seems quite early to have a Radio Times cover?

Wouldn't have thought so. The way it's worded, I would imagine it's only going to be pictures, an interview and information that we already know


If it IS coming back earlier than expected, however, this seems a good time for a reminder of how 'Twice Upon A Time' ended

More pictures from the Radio Times

"...the first showing the quartet in what looks like a historical setting, looking towards an unknown person or object with trepidation."


"The second picture shows companions Graham (Bradley Walsh), Yaz (Mandip Gill) and Ryan (Tosin Cole) by some rusty machinery in an arid location (quite possibly taken from rumoured South Africa filming), with the trio looking even more worried about whatever challenges they’re facing in their travels."

Upcoming programme alert

BBC4 - Friday July 27th, 2018: 11pm-12:20am 'The Proms: Pioneers of Sound'

"From London's Royal Albert Hall, ground-breaking British composer Anna Meredith presents this tribute to the godmothers of electronica, the pioneers of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop. The celebration begins with music by Delia Derbyshire - most famously remembered for bringing the world the Doctor Who theme in its full electronic glory and finishes with the premiere of Daphne Oram's Still Point, pieced together from recently discovered archive material and performed by Shiva Feshareki on turntables. Music by artists including Laurie Spiegel, Chaines and Suzanne Ciani emphasise the power of this legacy, performed by the London Contemporary Orchestra under conductor Robert Ames."

I'd like the Christmas special to be proper Dalek story personally. Have them appear in the very last seconds of episode ten as used to happen in the Davies era. (Not with Daleks but a link to the Christmas episode.)

Thinking out loud.

They'll have to be in fairly soon for merchandise revenue.
