Brand New Doctor Who The Time of The Doctor Trailer
Brand New Time of The Doctor Trailer
Wednesday 25th December
7.30-8.30pm BBC ONE
Orbiting a quiet backwater planet, the massed forces of the universe’s deadliest species gather, drawn to a mysterious message that echoes out to the stars – and amongst them, the Doctor.
Rescuing Clara from a family Christmas dinner, the Time Lord and his best friend must learn what this enigmatic signal means for his own fate and that of the universe.

December 13th, 2013 - 2:49pmguys I have a theory
I think that the DOCTOR WHO Q.L.A. Anti-Time Device will be in the time of the doctor as it was made by the clerics and they look to be in the 50th and the daleks cybermen and weeping angles are in it.
crazy guy
December 15th, 2013 - 8:50pmthe 50th has already been lol

DALEKSKITTLES
December 13th, 2013 - 9:26amIf Moffat does anything to make the daleks look weak or just ruins them I will stop watching the show! I really don’t like what he’s doing to the daleks and I think it’s time he let someone else write the dalek episodes! I know this isn’t a dalek episode but still he’s ruining the daleks
The Big Friendly Button
December 13th, 2013 - 9:05pmI think the Daleks are like a joke, the more it is told, the more it becomes stale. I do think there need to be chamges, I would lovw to see the Daleks act more militaristic like they did in the parting of ways.
DALEKSKITTLES
December 13th, 2013 - 9:22pmThey need to get rid of time war daleks once and for all, they should make a smaller more “elegant” version of the paradigm daleks I think silver and black would look good on them, the time war daleks have had there run and now their act is old news just give it up. I will stop watching if they don’t do anything about the daleks soon.
Dalek the Supreme
December 14th, 2013 - 3:23amTo be honest, I like how the Daleks have become more clever and cunning than they were before. It would be nice to see them act more aggressive and militaristic, though, and it looks like we’ll be seeing more of that. Even still, the Daleks are one aspect of the show, and it would still be silly to stop watching because of one thing you don’t like.
DALEKSKITTLES
December 14th, 2013 - 9:48ambut the dalek were my child hood monster I use to be scared of them! It would just ruin the show for me if they ruined the daleks, I know it sounds silly but things like that annoy me if one thing about a show annoys me I can’t watch it anymore but it’s more the fact I’m angry abd Moffat and don’t want to watch we he’s created anymore
matt9982
December 14th, 2013 - 1:37pmI agree that the Daleks seem to have become rather feeble and a joke. All that needs to be done is some big gesture or movement to put the fear back in the word Dalek. The best Daleks were the ones in the Stolen Earth or Journeys end. They need to become like that again. The writers need to make them do cruel acts and become the merciless drones they were
DALEKSKITTLES
December 14th, 2013 - 7:27pmI say let the time war dalek have their last episode and hand it over, a mixture between paradigm and time war daleks could be possible and easly written into doctor who, make them sharp and mean looking again, the time war daleks act is stale
darylcharles
December 15th, 2013 - 3:57pmTo be honest I think the Daleks are not all about action and lately it’s been nice to see them develop ’emotions’ as such.
And a lot of people complain about the lack of the Paradigm Daleks but they are only there as a ‘higher’ class of Daleks. Take the eternal for expample – that ones still out there somewhere ready to continue the species in case a another Time War or something were to take place.
Also, the Daleks are one of the most defeated foes in the shows history so it’s about time they didn’t appear as often and in as big an episodes as they used to I you get my drift.
I reckon the Daleks will get their big chance in this episode.
It’s going to be good!
Dalek the Supreme
December 16th, 2013 - 12:46pmI agree about them not appearing as often. Also, I don’t think putting a button in a prison cell not only holding Davros, but the Doctor too, is a good idea. A blend between their Moffat era cunning cleverness and their RTD era militaristic ruthlessness would do them good, and it looks to me like that’s what we’ll see here. The best thing to remember is to not judge what you haven’t seen yet.
Solaris Majoris
December 13th, 2013 - 7:30amI am saddened that the 11th doctor is going, now I know how he feels whenever his companions leave him. Though he is not really going, I just grew accustomed to his face being the doctor the same way I did with the 10th.

December 13th, 2013 - 7:13amBTW I think Matt should of done another three or two years then left but there you go to another wonderful doctor

December 12th, 2013 - 10:45pmwell that is quite obviously never gonna happen
Doctor Stu
December 12th, 2013 - 11:27pmThat would mangle so many time streams, stories and continuity that if its true, Steven Moffat may as well get ready to resign
RORY DOCTOR RIVER POND
December 12th, 2013 - 8:23pmmaybe the doctor find some way to release his soul, and the 11th doctors BODY is left on Trenzalore
fish from space
December 12th, 2013 - 6:19pmi reckon all those childish drawings are clara’s remembering bits of what she saw in the doctors time stream, just like amy did in ‘the wedding of river song’ to try to remember things …
#savetheday
December 12th, 2013 - 7:34amTo be honest, I don’t think the monsters are against each other. A woman said “He has entered the trap!”
Well, if it is a trap for the Doctor, (Which it probably is), then the monsters will destroy themselves and it wont be much of a trap, hundreds of dead monsters.
Dalek the Supreme
December 12th, 2013 - 2:34am*Clenches fist* Excellent! It looks like the 11th Doctor is going out with, not just a bang, but a Big Bang (forgive the pun). I never thought I’d say this about Matt Smith’s regeneration story, but I can’t wait! 😀
darylcharles
December 15th, 2013 - 4:15pmMaybe he’ll ‘steal’ a body like the master often did?
Also, perhaps Trenzalore is he saved Gallifray.

December 11th, 2013 - 8:21pmIs it me or does the place where Clara is at 0:17 look a bit like Sarah-Jane’s Attic?
DOCTOR WHO ONE
December 12th, 2013 - 3:12pmSure does look similar I agree 🙂
DALEKSKITTLES
December 11th, 2013 - 7:58pmBet the cybermen will win the battle!
#savetheday
December 11th, 2013 - 8:36pmWell, if they are against each other, then…..
Cybermen attack Daleks.
Nothing.
Daleks attack cybermen.
Daleks win.
Cybermen Upgrade.
Cybermen defeat all daleks.
– Daleks defeated
Silence destroy a few cybermen.
Cybermen upgrade.
Weeping angels send remaining Cybermen back in time.
– Cybermen defeated
Silence attempt to destroy weeping angels.
Weeping angels sent them back in time.
– Silence defeated
60 years later…
Silence return and destroy weeping angels.
– Silence back
– Weeping Angels defeated.

December 11th, 2013 - 9:02pmAh, but you’re forgetting the rogue element. The one Who always wins.
DALEKSKITTLES
December 11th, 2013 - 9:26pmWell apparently they cybermen can’t upgrade to something that can kill them straight away like the daleks gun
Dalek the Supreme
December 12th, 2013 - 2:38amI think the Daleks would last longer than that, they did survive the Time War and two Civil Wars before that. I imagine the victors would go down between the Daleks and the Silence. The Weeping Angels are powerful and intelligent, but mostly just predators, and sending a Dalek or a Cyberman back in time wouldn’t do much good because they don’t age. The Cybermen are even more powerful than ever now, but they’re dominated by logic, and not as clever as the Daleks, who have outwitted the Doctor twice on their own since Victory of the Daleks. The Silence, despite their poor planning skills, are still cunning, and seem to be the big baddies of this episode, and thus might stand a chance against the Daleks.

December 11th, 2013 - 7:40pmso the reason trenzalore looked like it did in name of the doctor was because of this battle?

December 11th, 2013 - 6:00pmI hope this is the end of the whole movie style thing… more traditional stories for Capaldi please!
Alex The Geek
December 11th, 2013 - 6:07pmWhy?
100000BC
December 11th, 2013 - 6:07pmYes and I would like less Doctor-and-story-arc-centric stories.
Anonymous
December 11th, 2013 - 6:33pmMore people wanting DW to go back to the bad old days….when it got axed.
That said, in the Tom Bakers days, it was all about story arcs…no one complained back then.
100000BC
December 11th, 2013 - 8:03pmI don’t mind the story arcs themselves – but I think that nowadays they are controlling the stories too much.
DW didn’t get axed during the ENTIRE original 26 year run did it? It was nothing to do with nice, ordinary individual stories.
Dalek the Supreme
December 12th, 2013 - 3:08amI wouldn’t mind having more one-offs, but I’ve enjoyed most of the story arcs of the Moffat era so far (although the River Song and Doctor’s Assassination story arcs have been disappointing). I suppose it would be nice to have the 12th Doctor have a season of plain old adventures before going back to more story arcs. Then again, Moffat likes to come up with big, exciting story arcs that change Doctor Who forever, so he’ll probably continue with the big, epic story arcs for Capaldi’s run.

December 11th, 2013 - 5:10pmif you pause it at 0:31 is it me or is that all the doctors!
100000BC
December 11th, 2013 - 5:16pmAt 0:18 and 0:19 there are lots of people who look suspiciously like all the Doctors.
#savetheday
December 11th, 2013 - 5:43pmIt has finished by 0:31.
DOCTOR WHO ONE
December 11th, 2013 - 5:09pmRather then have Peter Capaldi’s 12th Doctor appear right at the very end, I wounder if the last 12 minutes could be spent involving the 12th Doctor ? so that we get to know him a little before we have to wait for series 8 to begin in August / September 2014.
TheBritishCupOfTea
December 11th, 2013 - 6:15pmIt seems like that may be the case. If the Daleks are aware he is regenerating, that means he’s regenerating before defeating the enemy.
DOCTOR WHO ONE
December 12th, 2013 - 3:13pmYAY !!!! 😀
Dalek the Supreme
December 14th, 2013 - 3:27amI would like to see more of Matt Smith, but the last seven to five minutes would be okay with me.

December 11th, 2013 - 4:47pmWOW, LOOKS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!
DALEKSKITTLES
December 11th, 2013 - 4:38pmLooks like there’s a battle between the monsters! What do you guys think who will win or be the best fighting!!?
Dalek the Supreme
December 14th, 2013 - 3:30amEither the Daleks or the Silence. The Daleks are cunning and clever enough now to lure the Doctor into being a sacrifice for their cause now, but the Silence are supposed to be both clever and cunning (despite being poor planners in Series 6), so they might very well last a long time.

December 11th, 2013 - 4:25pmLooks epic!

December 11th, 2013 - 4:13pm0:24 is the doctor wearing his coat from the snowmen?

December 13th, 2013 - 7:10amYeah I think thats his Christmas Coat
TheExtremeBlueTARDIS
December 11th, 2013 - 4:13pmThis year’s Christmas Special looks absolutely fantastic but incredibly emotional at the same time!
“The Doctor has fallen into the trap” – Clara gets attacked by the hands in the ground right after this is said. I hope she is okay!
“The Doctor is regenerating!” – Moffat did say that Smith will be regenerating at the end, but what if it is the last 10 minutes and not last few minutes? Wouldn’t the Daleks be “defeated” by the end?
I can’t wait. I will miss Smith so much that I wouldn’t be surprised if I was teary at the end, which usually isn’t like me!
PS: Who agrees with me that viewing on Doctor Who has gone down? It’s happened ever since Smith came (I don’t dislike him!!) but the series viewing has gone down and the merchandise has kind of gotten less figure wise. But I still love the show for sure! 😀 😀

December 11th, 2013 - 6:52pmI think it’s more down to changing trends in how people watch the show. More and more people watch on demand now than they ever did during the Tennant years. Those figures are never included but you could safely add at least another 2 million to the official figures…and don’t forget to add the sky plus figures too.
The show is far bigger globally than it was in the Tennant years….the 50th special sold out in cinemas in the states… That would never have happened 5 years ago. I think people read to much into the figures anyway.
As viewing trends change and more channels come on board, they will become less and less meaningful.
TheExtremeBlueTARDIS
December 12th, 2013 - 7:14amI know that! The 50th Anniversary sold a lot in cinemas and over 10 million watched it on TV, but I’m positive that the Tenth Doctor era was more popular. There was an online poll last month on your favourite Doctor: Smith camed 3rd, but Tennant came 1st!
Series 7 ratings became really bad, I’m sorry to say that, but it was true. We need something to boost the fans again: Full Series (like there is going to be), Capaldi has got to be amazing (no doubt he will!), two-part stories, appropriate timings and boost the merchandise!
