Doctor Who TV Trailer So is It Bessie?

Doctor Who TV Trailer So is It Bessie?

The TV trailer for The Name of The Doctor appears to a car much like Bessie passing Clara – She has said she has met the Doctor more that 3 times so could this be another occasion.

      i think clara is a timelord/romana or the white gaurdian the doctors sister or daughter but people say she is the tardis
      p.s she could be douriom(only joking)

    I have a theory in this episode river song dies and the doctor gives her a regeneration but she regenerates into a young boy but he is unconscious. the doctor knows who this boy is and he must not tell anyone .the doctor takes the boy in the tardis and takes him to gallifrey and puts him in orphanage the time lords ask for the boys name and he says the doctor. the time lords ask ,doctor who, the dr smiles and goes off in the tardis

    the doctor now knows his name at first he did never knew it but if he remembers his mind will burn and die and the doctor now knows his name and he is now going to trenserlor to accept his fate and go to the fields of trenzelor and answer the question

    the silent: doctor who ,doctor who, DOCTOR WHO!
    the doctor: river song

      No, just no. I’m sorry, but it would make no sense in terms of continuity. River Song died in the library, as Alex Kingston, so she can’t have regenerated. Another thing, the Doctor’s always been a man. I have no problem with girls, mind you, just gender changing. It’s weird and disgusting, especially for a family show like Doctor Who.

    Really want this to be good, really upset with how Doctor Who has gone downhill, I haven’t been overally happy since series 5 to be honest, not all episodes have been bad but the series seems to be straying too far from its roots, sadly this isn’t the doctor who that I remember. I want 2 parters again, no series breaks, I want classic stories and not confusing nonsense, please Doctor Who go back to the way you used to do it. Really hope the 50th anniversary is brilliant!

      I’ve actually felt the opposite. During the Tennant era, the Doctor seemed too human to me, and his holier-than-thou-art attitude got on my nerves. The only companion I was attached to was Martha, and the Daleks kept coming back every season to the point where I actually was annoyed by my favorite monster. Smith’s more alien performance reminds of Patrick Troughton (My first Doctor), and the changes made to the show, including the New Paradigm Daleks, drew me back in. Just my opinion.

    Personally, I think everyone shoud have realised the Doctor’s real name by now. I’ve got a very good feeling what it is. And. As for Clara, I think she is the granddaughter of River Song and the Doctor! Bear in mind that River is always trying to prtect the Doctor. River’s parents Amy and Rory got sent back in time, but conceived River/Melody in the TARDIS, making her human with Time Lord DNA! River can regenerate, only up till “Let’s Kill Hitler”. We haven’t seen all of the Doctor’s and her adventures, for all we know, there may have been a time that River became pregnant with Clara’s father. That’s why we saw that scene where he and Clara’s mother meet due to that leaf. As for the Clara from “The Snowmen”, she may have been the present day’s Clara’s ancestor! And the finale shoud’ve been called “The Fields of Trenzalore” as it stops viewers thinking that his name will be revealed. Since finding out that Clara has been called Oswin as well has made the Doctor seem determined to find her, my theory is that the Doctor’s name is in fact Oswin Oswald, or just Oswin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      Sorry what? How can the Clara from The Snowmen be her ancestor if by your theory her family line only started with her parents after River?

    • Adam Sumnall

      May 12th, 2013 - 9:53am

      His name cant be Oswin becuase he would of looked incredibly shocked when Oswin told him her name was Oswin Oswald

      Very likely. The tree in the background is identical to one seen in ‘The Five Doctors’ (there’s a comparison picture on another website) so I think we will see a scene from all of the first seven Doctors with Clara superimposed on the old footage 🙂

      I saw her at the Gaydon Motor Museum a couple of years ago and there was a sign from the Doctor saying that we couldn’t sit in her as she’d got to old but said that we could take photos!

    I have a theory guys… from the latest TV trailers, Clara has been seen wearing similar outfits to that of Sarah Jane Smith and other Companions… could she somehow be all the Companions, created by the TARDIS to ‘protect’ the Doctor and make sure he saves the Universe? 😀

      May 12th, 2013 - 12:16am

      If that were true… That would be rubbish. Her touching the lives of the various Doctors is one thing. But actually being all the companions… Not liking that.

    • Dalek The Supreme

      May 12th, 2013 - 5:38am

      I think what they mean is a clone of all the Doctor’s previous companions melded into one, created by the TARDIS to protect the Doctor, presumably from The Fields of Trenzalore, the Fall of the Eleventh, and the question.

  • olletsoc

    I believe we will see the third doctor in this episode, as it looks like Clara has been greenscreened into a shot from the 70s

    When I visited the Doctor Who Experience, they were supposed to have Bessie by the front window. I theorised that the BBC had taken Bessie away for filming. This only serves to prove my theory correct.

    In short: Yes, that is 100% Bessie.
