The Bells of Saint John: A Prequel +TV Trailer
The Bells of Saint John: A Prequel
From The Official Site
Doctor Who returns to BBC One on Easter Saturday at 6.15pm with The Bells of Saint John, but you can watch a prequel to the new episode this Saturday.
The brand new prequel is written by Steven Moffat and features the Doctor, played, of course, by Matt Smith. We join the Time Lord on Earth where he’s taking a break from his quest to find Clara.

March 23rd, 2013 - 8:25pmI can’t wait for the new season
Awsome doctor
March 23rd, 2013 - 7:06pmThis looks great. Though I wasn’t surprised that the girl on the swing was Clara. But, this episode looks great just from this little clip. I’m really exited. Does the episode come out the 23ed? I’m American, it may be a different day.

This is gallifrey, our childhood, our home
March 23rd, 2013 - 6:48pmIt’s a bad nod, Moffat just blaring out the same old tunes again.
Matt Smithy
March 23rd, 2013 - 6:00pmBooboo the TV trailer for this episode is out on the BBC youtube channel!

March 23rd, 2013 - 4:31pmThat was good, also, SPOILER ALERT!

I heard that there are seven prequels, and each one shows Clara grwoing up.
DOCTOR WHO ONE
March 23rd, 2013 - 4:27pmDoctor Whom – I had a feeling I was a bit wrong. Should have checked before I wrote that comment.
[NOTE TO SELF – Check before writing a comment, just to be on the safe side before someone ends up correcting you . . . . grrrr . . .. D’OH !!]
DOCTOR WHO ONE
March 23rd, 2013 - 4:20pmTHAT GIRL IS CLARA ????.
He must have gone back to the 1990’s, cos Jenna is currently 26, so if Clara is 26, then she’d have therefore grown up in the 90’s.
Guess seeing a child version of Clara is a deliberate nod to Amy when we first met her as a child too . . . . . but a nice little nod thou 🙂
Doctor Stu
March 23rd, 2013 - 4:17pmYeh he was talking about Clara because he says he was trying to find her am that he has met her twice randomly
RORY DOCTOR RIVER POND
March 23rd, 2013 - 3:39pmme too, they have to do things differently, this is why i hope Clara won’t be another River
Matt Smithy
March 23rd, 2013 - 3:20pmI’m pretty sure she is only a child for this prequel, not the episode 🙂
Tardis’nt
March 23rd, 2013 - 2:35pmhe no longer wears the christmas one, he has a grey one instead

McGann is the Doctor.
March 23rd, 2013 - 2:29pmLiked him in the End of Time part 2, sometimes liked him in Eleventh Hour, hated him from then until Flesh and stone, hated him from then until Doctor Who Live and by the time he came tumbling down that chimney in a Christmas Charol I loved him and he was one of my favourite Doctors from there on.
Hope he stays atleast until 2015, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE…..
McGann is the Doctor.
March 23rd, 2013 - 2:27pmStill disgustingly selfish, hateful and inconsiderate of Grade. He hated the show and damaged it’s reputation when it was still loved by a great number of people and still in good health, then the public came to hate it and it lost a great deal of viewers and respect 🙁
McGann is the Doctor.
March 23rd, 2013 - 2:25pmAwesome !
McGann is the Doctor.
March 23rd, 2013 - 2:25pmGuess not.
That new outfit is great, but a little too heavy and fancy, drawing too much attention to the Doctor.
The tweed is more inconspicuous and casual, I guess.
McGann is the Doctor.
March 23rd, 2013 - 2:23pmPretty sure her name is Clara 😆

March 23rd, 2013 - 2:00pmpoor doctor he is still thinking of amy 🙁
The TARDIS
March 23rd, 2013 - 1:15pmWhy has he gone back to this jacket? I thought he was wearing the new suit from Christmas on!
Doctor Stu
March 23rd, 2013 - 12:43pmThis has just got a lot more confusing. It would be so cool if Clara and her ancestors were also searching the universe for the Doctor and it all stemed from young Clara meeting the Doctor in the playground.
MORLU
March 23rd, 2013 - 12:37pmIt was obvious and would have been fine. If we haven’t already met Amy at that age. I hope there not going to retred old ground too much.

RORY DOCTOR RIVER POND
March 23rd, 2013 - 12:25pmi knew that was gonna happen. either she was clara or clara would come and sit on the swing when the girl left.

March 23rd, 2013 - 12:24pmI think this looks great! Really weird how he ends up talking to young Clara. However seems a bit like what happend with young Amy (Amelia) 🙂

DoctorWhom
March 23rd, 2013 - 9:34amDoctor Who One, Grade didn’t cancel Who in 89. He was with Channel Four by that time. Jonathan Powell the man who took over from Grade actually cancelled it. Grade only suspended it back in 86.
DOCTOR WHO ONE
March 23rd, 2013 - 8:29amCinema and on TV as I understand it.
