The Snowmen – New Christmas Special Trailer

The Snowmen – New Christmas Special Trailer

β€œChristmas Eve 1892, and the falling snow is the stuff of fairytales.

When the fairytale becomes a nightmare and a chilling menace threatens Earth, an unorthodox young governess, Clara, calls on the Doctor for help. But the Doctor is in mourning, reclusive and determined not to engage in the problems of the universe. As old friends return, will the Doctor really abandon humankind or will he fight to save the world – and Christmas – from the icy clutches of this mysterious menace?”

    My theory is this could be a new body in which Dalek oswin goes into which would explain her being a different person.

    I’m with you when you say they’re two different people but they’re is no solid proof saying that they are. Until we see the episode there is no knowing Clara could be lieing like river did in the impossible astronaut. This could be after asylum of the daleks in clara/ oswins timeline etc etc the theories go on.

    Forgot to mention earlier also that Oswin Oswald and Clara Oswin could not be the same woman anyway, because if Oswin was Clara, she would have recognize the Doctor in ‘Asylum of the Daleks’ and she never did, so she aint the same person.

    As Ive theorized, ‘Oswin’ is what connects Clara Oswin and Oswin Oswald as relatives.

    Clara Oswin could be Oswin Oswalds great great great great [several times more great] grandmother or some other female relation.

    They are not the same person what so ever, merely two completely different female characters who are played by one very talented actress, in other words, Jenna is just doing the same thing what Freema Agyeman did some years ago, first by playing another character [Adeola] and then playing a related character who becomes the companion [Martha Jones]who is the previous characters cousin.

    Blimey how many times do I have to keep mentioning this ? πŸ™

    ‘Them’ refering to fan’s who made assumptions that the Yeti where returning when they had not.

    Personally I’m glad there not returning. I don’t think robots dressed in great big fur coats are scary what so ever, robot mummies from ‘Pyramids of Mars’ are scary, but not Yeti, they don’t frighten me one bit, I’d just face once and kick him in the happy sacks, simple πŸ˜€

    Who is them?
    Also, do you really think they would spoil the surprise of the Yeti being in it?

  • McGann is the Doctor

    So much for the “YETI” being in it, I told them not to make huge assumptions based on no real evidence, but they did.

    πŸ˜†

    Besides, this looks WAY better and WAY scarier.

    Clara Oswin is NOT Oswin Oswald from ‘Asylum of the Daleks’, shes a completely different character, Jenna herself said so on Children in Need when she and Matt where showing a prequel called ‘The Great Detective’ followed later by the trailer for the story.

    Do you like her voice as well? It’s just so calm, mysterious and as you said soothing!

    2013 companion don’t ya mean ?, where not even in 2013 yet dude πŸ™‚

    I do agree thou, River, Amy, Oswin and Clara are cocky, but I’m ok with that.

    Put it this way – would you have ladies in the Tardis who are cocky from time to time ? or would you rather have ladies in the Tardis who just scream at everything left, right and centre ? πŸ˜‰

    December 12th, 2012 - 8:14pm

    Yeah, she’s only talking like that to the children so they don’t end up having nightmares.

    A soothing voice to help children sleep is always a good thing πŸ™‚

    12days, 21hours 40 mins! also series 7 part 2 out in April next year

    If you mean at the beginning, then she is talking to the children she is the governess of and she is trying to help them, as they have nightmares! So I guess she is trying to sound gentle!
    Personally I LOVE her voice, I don’t know why, I just do!

    clara’s voice sounds babyish

  • The TARDIS

    December 12th, 2012 - 5:24pm

    Looks amazing! 13 Days is too long to wait! The Snowmen look incrdibly creepy… Going by the snow-breating stuff and the pointy teeth, this isn’t going to be an out-and-out adaptation of Raymond Briggs’ book…

    awesome trailer. i dont know if anyone knows this but on newsround they had this clip from the one show where they have a its showtime ad on the building and it has doctor who in it you should check it out

    I quite like plucky female characters and don’t automatically think them to be irritating. What I find irritating is the kind of helpless continually screaming female character. Brrrr! Give me a cocky lady any day.

  • The Macra Terror

    December 12th, 2012 - 5:06pm

    Why does Steven Moffat write all of his female characters as irritating and cocky? Clara is just another to add to the list
    River Song
    Amelia/Amy
    Oswin
    Clara
    …… (2014 Companion)

    I agree

  • That Snowman over there

    December 12th, 2012 - 4:39pm

    Wow! Those Snowmen really do look creepy. Also, those shots of the staircase to the TARDIS and the snowflake opening its jaws are absolutely stunning. πŸ˜€

    This is definitely a much better trailer than the one we got for CIN! πŸ˜›
