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.
doctorwho???
May 15th, 2013 - 4:28pmi thinks it is and that clara is being sent through time to save the doctor and that its the tardis that has sent her !

May 14th, 2013 - 12:44amI would love to see Bessie back in a future DW story I preffered Bessie to the Whomobile Jon Pertwee’s era.

May 14th, 2013 - 6:07pmNo, I actually tried to find it but I found nothing, I think people are smart enough to keep it to themselves

May 13th, 2013 - 10:04amI cant wait for this scene. Hopefully we’ll see her walking past old doctors, or in background of a memorable 20th century Who scene. BRILLIANT!

May 13th, 2013 - 9:44amlooks like clara has been super imposed into that image, my theory is that she has paced herself through out the doctors time stream to save him.

May 13th, 2013 - 10:02amIt does, but i think they actually filmed bessie driving past. The quality of the image is too good to be of a pertwee episode.

May 13th, 2013 - 4:41pmwell that is a background seen in the five doctors, so…………

May 13th, 2013 - 5:22pmit’s from the five doctors
Anonymous
May 13th, 2013 - 6:26pmOk so maybe the tree is the same from the scene where pertwee is taken by the time scoop, but at no point do we see bessie drive past that close or from that angle. The tree image may have been re-used from the scene, but not bessie. That’s been reconstructed.
Some bloke
May 13th, 2013 - 6:29pmP.s that last comment about the tree image being the same, that was me.
and anyway, the back of bessie has the black material top piece on the back of it, in the five doctors, whereas in the images above she does not

May 13th, 2013 - 9:39amStrax doesnt die, it is Riversong that goes. if you look at claras clothes she is wearing different companions clothes. as bessie passes her she is wearing sarah janes clothes.

May 13th, 2013 - 8:00amLook at her outfit on the pictures, it looks very 1970’s to me so maybe she has met the doctor before maybe she met them just before they regenerate to save them if anything goes wrong

May 12th, 2013 - 6:42pmMy theory- Clara seems to be wearing Sarah Jane’s clothes in those pictures, and Ace’s in the thumbnail. Maybe she’s going back and fixing things, appearing to the Doctor as his companions?
daryl
May 12th, 2013 - 7:13pmI thought she may be a younger Sarah Jane?

May 12th, 2013 - 4:43pmIn hope river won be in the 50th as she would ruin it!
DOCTOR WHO ONE
May 12th, 2013 - 5:09pmYes, get rid of River now pleaase Moffat !!!!!.
Why must he keep Alex Kingston back again and again as River Song ?. Nothing against the actress herself, but her characters is so annoying, and now that we know her real name is Melody Pond and not River Song, and that she is the Daughter of Amy and Rory and seems to be part Time Lord in some way, she’s no longer a mystery, just a character who shows up whenever Moffat wants her too.
From the looks of things, River Song in ‘The Name of the Doctor’ has already lived through the events of ‘Silence in the Library / Forest of the Dead’, so it seems she’s gonna be brought back from the grave every now and then it seems . . . . . NOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!!!!!! š
NO MORE RIVER PLEASE MOFFAT !!.
Dalek: the Supreme
May 13th, 2013 - 7:07pmI don’t especially love or hate River Song, but I do think she should make her last appearance. All she needs after the revelation of who she is is an episode leading into her death.
Anonymous
May 13th, 2013 - 8:47pmIn reality River Song is the Doctors wife so in some way she’ll always be a part of his life.
But perhaps this isn’t the River from after the library (although you’re right it looks a lot like she is) and maybe this is where she learns the Doctors name…
I do like Alex Kingston (the actress) but her character isn’t being used to show the Doctor in a different way. She does just pop up for Mofffats benefit of writing her.

May 13th, 2013 - 10:00pmshe’s not his wife anymore
Some bloke
May 13th, 2013 - 10:02pmThat was me who said she wasn’t his wife anymore. She’s not his wife because they were married in an alternate universe and when everything reverted back to normal they were no longer (officially) married. and yes, this is River Song post Library, Moffat said so š
AS
May 19th, 2013 - 4:08pmRiver should continue to be a reoccurring character, a lot of fans love her – infact it mainly just seems to be the older fans of the show who hate her (although don’t they hate everything and in fact only continue to watch the show to moan about Moffat).

May 12th, 2013 - 2:39pmFrom the trailer it looks like Clara gets scattered in time by the TARDIS, there are a few different versions of her in the trailer. Maybe the TARDIS scatters her through time to watch out for the Doctor?

May 12th, 2013 - 1:46pmMy Predictions for āThe Name of the Doctorā:
Now judging from the trailers released, Synopsis and statements from the cast I think this is what could happen, or what I believe to happen. Now Jenna has said that Clara has met the Doctor more than 3 times, in the synopsis it states āthat threatens to unravel his past, present and future…ā and in the TV trailer Clara says āI was born to save the Doctorā.
Now we also got a glimpse of what everyone thinks is Bessie, Clara looks green screened into a shot of old footage, does that mean Pertwee is driving in the old footage? Look above, sheās met the Doctor more than 3 times, she is the saving of the Doctor and his Past Incarnations are threatened. I believe she goes back and saves each incarnation of the Doctor using green screen and old footage, meaning each classic Doctor will appear for a few seconds; which is fantastic enough. So something is about to get the past incarnation and Clara stops it? Protecting the Doctor? This theory also supports the lots of different clothes she is going to wear from different eras.
Now one way this could happen is that at the end of the TV trailer, there is a red beam thing inside the TARDIS and Clara (I think) runs through it, so she could be splitting herself throughout time, to each era of each incarnation. Now she could save each incarnation up to 7 then something goes wrong with 8 and 9 then it leads to the 50th with John Hurts character?
As for the Doctorās Name, I simply think heāll Whisper it in River Songs ear (She hasnāt been told yet) so we as the viewer will not hear it (And hopefully never will) and River Song will then know, leading onto Silence in the Library.
As for Strax, Jenny and Vastraā¦I donāt know, I believe one of the trio might be killed off or possibly two, all of them if Moffat wants to hurt us badly. The Whispermen do look awesome and I cannot wait to see them in action!

May 12th, 2013 - 4:08pmI think that would be very good (it’s actually what I thought too) and I think the river may be like a echo in the tardis, like the tardis copied the date from CAL and she can only be in the tardis, like a projection, as she doesn’t seem to move much, like the clara projection in hide.
Dalek: the Supreme
May 13th, 2013 - 7:11pmIf they do kill off a member of the Victorian gang, I think it should mark their last appearance, at least for a while. I don’t hate them at all, in fact, I find them very entertaining,it’s just that they’ve been used 3 years in a row, and could really use a break.
Anonymous
May 12th, 2013 - 1:07pmPart of the description for this episode says that the Doctor has met Clara more than twice before
…well, it was never specified it was with just the one incarnation…
handbot10
May 12th, 2013 - 12:34pmwhat I think will happen: I think Clara will sacrifice her life to save the doctor from revealing his name making everyone happy but the doctor will think clara is dead but really she is still alive and after having such good adventures she decides to have more, getting her lost in the dalek asylum meeting the doctor again.
