July 12th, 2015 - 4:15pmAs it starts on 19th September the 2016 annual will be released around that time so their won’t be much or any of series 9 in the 2016 annual?

Doctor Stu
July 11th, 2015 - 6:13pmMaise Williams could be playing anyone she might even be just a generic character that might not be as significant as the trailer suggests just like the death in heaven trailer where Clara says that Clara Oswald has never existed and everybody got hyped only to find out it was just a lie she was telling to try and fool the Cybermen

DOCTOR WHO ONE
July 11th, 2015 - 3:56pmThat woman in the very top picture looks some what like Maisie Williams, much much older.
Be interesting if it turned out they are playing the same character. The woman called be ‘The Woman who died’, and Maisie could be ‘The girl who lived’.
Time will tell . . . . always does 🙂

July 11th, 2015 - 3:50pmThose hands coming out of the ground could be a weeping angel.
DOCTOR WHO ONE
July 11th, 2015 - 3:54pmI thought that too . . . . but Weeping Angel’s don’t move when their being seen. It’s just someone else in mud.
The Figure Adventurer
July 11th, 2015 - 1:24pmPossible theory for Episodes 4 & 5
So, episode four: The Girl Who Died – The girl in this one is Maisie Williams? So, she dies… at the end, due to these robots, but in episode 5 The Woman Who Lived, it turns out that she’s not dead, hence the bit at the end of the trailer…?
Discount Einstein
July 11th, 2015 - 2:57pmActually The Girl Who Died is episode 5 while The Woman Who Lived is episode 6
The Figure Adventurer
July 11th, 2015 - 7:30pmAh! Thanks!
the astronaut of death
July 11th, 2015 - 1:05pmGuys we have to remember the Doctor has seen this face before…… So if it is Susan or jenny then how does he know it is them? as he has not seen these characters since there last episodes ……
CJ
July 11th, 2015 - 1:11pmYou have a point there… But it has to be someone!
CJ
July 11th, 2015 - 1:01pmI’m sorry but I can’t see Maisie Williams being Jenny (The Doctor’s Daughter). I think she could be Susan or someone else… I can see why people are saying she might be Jenny but I thought Jenny couldn’t regenerate???
Obsie
July 11th, 2015 - 2:33pmCJ, I can see your point but at the end of The Doctor’s Daughter, she does revive and breathe out Time Lord energy. Although The Doctor described her as an “echo” of them and little else, it’s still feasible that things can be rewritten, after all we know what Moffat is like.
CJ
July 11th, 2015 - 2:49pmTrue
Barsha
September 20th, 2015 - 12:41pmJenny didn’t regenerate, and it was not ‘Time Lord Regeneration Energy’ that she breathed out (though a similar effect was used for it), but gas from the ‘Source’, the terraforming agent that the episode was based around.
Nelsonator
July 11th, 2015 - 9:08amI had a closer look at that Classic Dalek, and its not from the 70’s, its actually from the 60’s if you take a more closer look at it.
theredcreepertrc
July 11th, 2015 - 10:32amYou’re right. adding to that the city eerily similar to that of the Daleks on Skaro way back when, it seems that in series 9 the new Daleks will journey to their origin; not just Skaro, but Skaro during the Thaal extermination. I am beyond thrilled! 😀
Doctorwho123456789101112
July 10th, 2015 - 10:19pmI bet the women at the end is Jenny (From doctor’s daughter)
because:
1st: She regenerated at the end of Doctor’s daughter in a rocket and her character hasn’t returned yet
2nd: Masie Williams is playing the women at the end and the first episode Masie Williams appears in is the Girl who died and everyone thought jenny died at the end of the doctors daughter (but she didn’t she regenerated and hasn’t returned yet)
If you agree: comment: you agree
If you disagree: comment: I don’t because…
Everyone who reads this comment reply
Peking Homunculus
July 11th, 2015 - 2:08amWhen Jenny regenerated in ‘The Doctor’s Daughter’ she still appeard the same. Also, I would say it was inconclusive as to whether it was the usual time lord regeneration, or more an effect of the terraforming device.
Rufus
July 11th, 2015 - 8:40amI’m sitting on the fence but could be possible………
theredcreepertrc
July 11th, 2015 - 10:33amI agree! I’ve been arguing with people on YouTube about this! xD Seriously, everyone thinks it’s Susan, which is beyond unlikely, whereas Jenny fits the bill! She calls him “old man” for god’s sake!
Doctorwho123456789101112
July 15th, 2015 - 8:45pm@Peking Homunculus we only saw a bit of timelord energy come out the regeneration process could of taken a lot longer (The 11th doctors regeneration took quite a while) we don’t neccersaliry know if she changed her face or not. But it’s most likely.
Dalek Supreme
July 10th, 2015 - 10:08pmGod damn it, you’ve got my attention yet again. CURSE YOU ADVERTISING!
From just this, I’m liking the look of this series a lot more than anything from series 5 onwards. There’s a lot of horror-ish elements, which I do quite like, especially the weird skull-headed thing and those creepy hands. Yes, a slightly darker turn is much welcome, and I hope this is the series that 8 was supposed to be. (For the record, 8 was alright, better than most of the 11th Doctor’s series).
At least they know how to get my attention. Daleks? Yes! Old ones too? Double yes!
*dances furiously*

July 10th, 2015 - 9:59pmYes, its just over a week to go for me now, just popped back to the 10th July to see how you are all coping. You’ve seen nothing until trailer two, its gobsmacking.
Doctor Stu
July 10th, 2015 - 4:59pmThe metal city looks very gallifreyian by the shape and mountainous surroundings it reminds me of the Moldovarium in the pandorica opens
DOCTOR WHO ONE
July 10th, 2015 - 5:06pmMore like Skaro. I think they are trying to either –
A) Show the Thal or Kaled dome from ‘Genesis of the Daleks’ during the thousand year war before both sides built protective domes over their cities.
B) It’s a recreation of the Dalek city from their 1963 debut story.
C) It’s a totally brand new Dalek city entirely.
JellyBaby100
July 10th, 2015 - 8:51pmDon’t forget the 60’s dalek in the background too, which is extremely compelling evidence that we’re back on the original Skaro city. Plus the wall design is similar, and the thing that crushes a Dalek at the start could easily be a Skaro door
Doctor Stu
July 10th, 2015 - 9:34pmI hope it’s explained how Skaro can still exist rather than it just appearing with no explanation like in asylum of the Daleks
DOCTOR WHO ONE
July 11th, 2015 - 6:58amJelly Baby 100 – Looks more like a 1974 Dalek from ‘Death to the Daleks’ rather then a 1960’s version, as it has a silver dome with orange lights on it, and one with silver dome and orange lights did appear in the aforementioned story http://www.projectdalek.com/uploads/monthly_02_2012/post-9494-0-93896300-1330463295.jpg

The Bad Wolfie
July 10th, 2015 - 4:44pmThis series looks a lot better than last years! Coming from someone who is not keen at all on the 12th Doctor, he seems better by what is in the trailer.
So glad that Clara is back again, one of the best companions (in my opinion). Its cool that there is a classic Dalek as well, may even be from a trip to the Dalek Asylum, before it blew up, in which case Clara may meet her Oswin echo.
The Master looks menacing again, as do the zombie-like hands coming out the ground 🙂
DOCTOR WHO ONE
July 10th, 2015 - 5:08pmIn the current issues of Doctor Who Magazine, Clara has encountered one of her echo’s called Winnie. Unlike Oswin or the Victorian governess Clara, Winnie actually lives even thou at first it seems she was killed off.
DOCTOR WHO ONE
July 10th, 2015 - 3:28pmHere’s a thought – Why is there a classic series Dalek in series 9 ?.
Could it be –
A) The Doctor and Clara end up in the time period of the silver and black Daleks of 1974’s ‘Death to the Daleks’, and the Time War Dalek seeing in front of the classic series Dalek is a prototype Time War Dalek which may have been an experimental model which ended up being used eventually in the Time War ?.
B) Steven Moffat [may have] seen the awesome YouTube animation ‘Dalek Tales – The Dalek That Time Forgot’ and decided to do a story where a Time War Dalek ends up in the era of the aforementioned 1974 Daleks ? and the Time War Dalek tries to change history is some way by encountering those classic series Daleks ?.
C) Because Moffat just wanted something from the good old days to make an appearance for the fun if it 😀
skaroman
July 10th, 2015 - 2:36pmSettle down! Settle down! Let’s think this through…
The girl at the end is someone who knows the Doctor, but who? I think we’re going to play ‘Guess who the reoccurring character is’, like with Missy in Series 8.
She could be…
Susan, Romana, River Song, The Rani, Jenny (The Doctor’s Daughter) or someone else.
But to play this game well, we must watch a few episodes first and decide logically. We must not automatically come down to conclusions from a trailer, expect what is going to happen and then be disappointed.
Everybody got that?!
DOCTOR WHO ONE
July 10th, 2015 - 3:20pmSUSAN – Can’t be her. Susan has no mean of leaving 22nd Century Earth as far as we know.
ROMANA – I couldn’t see why it could not be here, but assuming if it is Romana, her existence would have been unknown to the Doctor as a survivor of the Time War because Time Lord’s are telepathic, and Romana would surely have used a Chameleon Arch to hide herself somewhere in space and time, but if the girl is Romana, then why has she not used a Chameleon Arch to hide herself like the Master had done if she too intended to escape the Time War and never be found ?.
RIVER SONG – No . . . . please god no, not her, couldn’t stand her, plus her story is done so leave her be.
THE RANI – Same as what I’ve just said about Romana.
JENNY – Now if she was her, that would be brilliant, cos like many fan’s I miss the Doctor’s funny daughter.
DOCTOR WHO ONE
July 10th, 2015 - 3:59pmNot all of us like River Song. Glad the annoying woman is gone. Got fed up with her ‘hello sweetie’ and ‘spoilers’ all the time.
I’ve nothing against Alex Kingston, but her character was just irritating at times.
Nothing wrong with Jenny thou, she’s not irritating at all, a superb performance from Peter Davison’s daughter and David Tennant’s wife Georgia Moffat / Tennant.
DOCTOR WHO ONE
July 10th, 2015 - 4:01pmNo need to moan Anonymous. Not everyone liked River Song, just like some of us don’t like Missy, or other fan’s, unlike myself, don’t like Rose Tyler or Donna Noble.
You can’t like every character in the Doctor Who universe you know.
Run you clever boy
July 10th, 2015 - 2:32pmI am very much looking forward to this series especially the underwater base one it reminds me OF Shadows of the Vashta Nerada but i think it will be the ghosts in thats one any ideas which episode will have vikings in i think episode 5 or 6

July 10th, 2015 - 12:31pmDoes anyone think it could be a krafayis in the 22nd picture?

July 10th, 2015 - 11:19amWhat happened to ‘I’m the Doctor’?
MrHaloWho
July 10th, 2015 - 11:17amTo be honest, I’m not that excited for Series 9. It looks the same as Series 8, but with Maisie Williams. And the rest of it is the same as Matt Smith’s series’: the Daleks, the space suits, Clara, Missy, chased by zombies, running through corridors etc.
And that new monster in the 3rd pic is probably one where, if you smell it, you die. We’ve already had ‘don’t blink’, ‘don’t breath’, ‘don’t think’, ‘don’t see or hear’ twice, ‘don’t believe’, ‘don’t forget’…
Doctor Who Crazy Ross
July 10th, 2015 - 11:33am“To be honest, I’m not that excited for Series 9. It looks the same as Series 8, but with Maisie Williams” On what point does it look the same as series 8? There’s so much new stuff that series 8 didn’t have
” And the rest of it is the same as Matt Smith’s series’: the Daleks, the space suits, Clara, Missy, chased by zombies, running through corridors etc.” Missy wasn’t in Matt Smiths series, Doctor Who has always been Daleks and running down corridors. And of course Clara is going to be there!
“And that new monster in the 3rd pic is probably one where, if you smell it, you die. We’ve already had ‘don’t blink’, ‘don’t breath’, ‘don’t think’, ‘don’t see or hear’ twice, ‘don’t believe’, ‘don’t forget’…” You complain yet they are some of Doctor Who’s greatest monsters- The Weeping Angels, The Silence, The Clockwork Robots, The Teller etc.
So dont complain.

The Figure Adventurer
July 10th, 2015 - 8:03amPossible theory for Episode 1?
The Doctor and Clara visit a warzone planet, to find that the Daleks are fighting in it. The Doctor and Clara become allies with the opposition but a lot of the soldiers in the opposition are untrained? They get killed off by the Daleks. The Doctor finds that Davros is behind the whole thing, so The Doctor goes back to Skaro to kill him as a young boy. He drops off Clara and Clara finds Missy, somehow, and asks for her help to save The Doctor.
Not sure if the whole thing about The Doctor killing Davros is real or if it was just made up…

DOCTOR WHO ONE
July 10th, 2015 - 7:27amMy view on some of the pictures –
PICTURE 4 : 1974 ‘Death to the Daleks’ silver Dalek. Interesting 🙂
PICTURE 10: Looks like Skaro, Maybe a new look to the Dalek city from their very first appearance.
PICTURES 13 AND 14: Hello roundals [a.k.a. the round things], nice to see them back !! 😀
PICTURE 18: Clearly not Davros, but he does leave me with that impression.
PICTURE 21: Rock and Roll Doctor !!, Dum De Dum, Dum De Dum, Dum De Dum, ohhh weee ohhhh !!.
PICTURE 25: Obviously a redressing of the set from ‘Into the Dalek’ which if the inside of Rusty the Daleks eyestalk. Nice bit of redressing there, but shame it’s so obviously what it was originally build for last series.
PICTURE 26: Thal’s or Kaled’s ? . . . . or neither.
Anonymous
July 10th, 2015 - 5:23pmIn picture 4 it’s a 1963 dalek from ‘The Daleks’.
JellyBaby100
July 10th, 2015 - 8:59pmYes, you can tell it’s an original Dalek because of the ‘ping pong ball’ dome lights, whereas the Death to the Daleks models had Land Rover headlights.
I’m certain that that city is the same city as in ‘The Dead Planet/Mutants/Daleks’ (whatever you want to call it’), as the scenes with the Daleks are set in a very similar environment to the interior of set city, with an original Dalek(!!!) and something that could easily be a Skaro door crushing a Dalek at the beginning.
However I must disagree with the “redressing of the set from ‘Into the Dalek’” theory because they don’t keep sets that long, it looks quite different and corridor sets are pretty cheap anyway.
DOCTOR WHO ONE
July 11th, 2015 - 6:59amNo it’s not, it’s a 1974 Dalek.
Anonymous
July 11th, 2015 - 7:20amIt’s not a 1974 dalek, it’s an original dalek from 1963.
DOCTOR WHO ONE
July 11th, 2015 - 7:24amNo, it is a 1974 Dalek. It has orange lights on it’s dome, and if you’ve ever seen ‘Death to the Daleks’ you may recall one or two Daleks in that story had orange lights on their domes.
DOCTOR WHO ONE
July 11th, 2015 - 7:26amCheck out this picture, it has orange lights, a 1974 Dalek http://www.projectdalek.com/uploads/monthly_02_2012/post-9494-0-93896300-1330463295.jpg
Anonymous
July 11th, 2015 - 7:31amYes your right about the 1974 Daleks having orange lights, but the classic Dalek in picture 4 doesn’t, it has ping pong balls on the dome which matches the look of the early 1960’s Daleks.
DOCTOR WHO ONE
July 11th, 2015 - 7:33amWell, as the 7th Doctor said : Time will tell, always does.

July 10th, 2015 - 7:19amIs that a classic Dalek behind the bronze one??

July 10th, 2015 - 7:21amYep, 1974 ‘Death to the Daleks’ model from the looks of it as it appears to be silver.
