After six months of waiting - for us, and of filming for the actors - since the special episode Last Christmas, the BBC revealed the official trailer for Doctor Who's Series 9, starring Peter Capaldi (The Doctor) and Jenna Coleman (Clara Oswald) for a second full series. 90 seconds of new characters, returns and surprises, in the order.


19''. New characters, new monsters. Metal soldiers (not Cybermen), hands coming from the ground, a guy with dark eyes ... it looks like the Doctor hasn't seen everything in the universe.

23''. We are (almost) sure that the greatest enemies of the Doctor, the Daleks, will be part of the ninth series. Unless the video would show the back of Rusty, a "good" Dalek appeared in Into The Dalek.

25'' New characters with two heads in one, wearing a Chinese hat. An other one three seconds later, more human.

30''. Missy is back. Revealed as the woman version of the Master in Dark Water/Death In Heaven, we ignore if this character played by Michelle Gomez will fight with or against the Doctor and Clara.



38''. Apparently an alien city. An other view at 51''.

40''. A man in a cave. Are we back in Karn, the planet where the 8th Doctor (Paul Mc Gann) became the War Doctor (John Hurt) in The Night Of The Doctor? We're not sure.

43''. Not surprising that Clara Oswald still travels with the Doctor in the TARDIS. But notice the orange spacesuit weared by the Doctor in The Waters of Mars (with David Tennant), Hide (with Matt Smith) and Kill The Moon (with Capaldi).

50''. Friend or enemy? He has similar eyes as the guy at 19''.

53'' The 12th Doctor hugging Clara, it's rare. But we love it.

55''. A little girl kidnapped by a Zygon. Oh, you probably discovered Zygons in The Day Of The Doctor, but we think they forget to be good after saving London.

57''. The coolest moment of the trailer: the Doctor plays electric guitar in the TARDIS. Electric guitars are cool. Capaldi, you rock.



64''. "I'm the Doctor, and I save people." Saving the universe by wearing sunglasses is cool, doesn't it, Matt Smith?

79''. "What took you so long, old man?" The most waited moment for Series 9. We discover finally Maisie Williams, starred as Arya Stark in HBO's Game Of Thrones, in her mysterious role in Doctor Who's double episode The Girl Who Died/The Woman Who Lived.
According to the video's comments about Williams' words, she could play Jenny, appeared in The Doctor's Daughter where she promised to find the Doctor again, with a new face. Or, better, Susan Foreman, the Doctor's granddaughter - after a regeneration - who appeared in Doctor Who's all first episode An Unearthly Child, broadcast in 1963. If Maisie Williams plays a Time Lord, she could be Jenny or Susan. Or someone else?


Take a sticky note, sonic screwdriver and TARDIS fans, a remember this date: Saturday, September 19. Series 9 will start with The Magician's Apprentice, whose we are waiting the teaser. By the way, a tenth series has been confirmed on July 14th. Ready, time travellers?

...

In January 2014, the twelfth Doctor Peter Capladi begins the filming of the Series 8 of Doctor Who with Jenna Coleman. About five months later, the BBC revealed a first 15-second teaser trailer with Capaldi in the TARDIS, like the picture above.

As you know, the first episodes of Series 8 will be broadcast in August. Who says new series says new characters ; the Doctor and Clara Oswald are naturally here. We also learnt in January that Neve McIntosh (Madame Vastra, with Strax and Jenny) will be back for the series.

On February 24, Samuel Anderson has been announced as reccurent character Danny Pink, a teacher and a colleague of Clara at Coal Hill School (school we saw in "The Day Of The Doctor"). The next month, Keeley Hawes is cast as Ms Delphox for episode 5. Then, the BBC announced Tom Riley, Ben Miller, Hermione Norris and Frank Skinner in guest roles.

But the first teaser revealed by the BBC doesn't show all these characters. So we have to wait a second trailer to discover a bit who they are and who they play.


On May 24, YouTube user "John Smith", known for the video "WHOLOCK - Sherlock meets the Doctor", unveiled a fan 'Rain' Trailer he made for Series 8. We can see the TARDIS, arriving on a planet where it's raining ; the Doctor and Clara Oswald go outside the TARDIS, and watch a mountain with a moon in background. The video has been viewed about 300,000 times in four days.


Still in the fan trailers, user SupremePyroViper revealed on May 25 a trailer using BBC and John Smith videos, plus moments of "The Day of the Doctor" and "The Time of the Doctor". You can watch the video here : youtube.com/watch?v=MJZYaxWZb5g.

Doctor Who fans don't stop to talk about the 50th anniversary special "The Day of the Doctor", and for good reason : the BBC revealed finally pictures and videos from the long awaited episode.

On 19 October, several weeks after revealing that David Tennant, Billie Piper and John Hurt will star in the special, the BBC offered us a 50th year trailer, showing the eleven Doctors and some of their enemies and companions, and in which the Eleventh Doctor said :
"Our future depends on one single moment, of one impossible day, the day I have been running from all my life, the Day of the Doctor."

But no real scene or something from the special was in the 50th trailer. But since 16 October we discover the first photos of the special in the Facebook page for Doctor Who, whose by example the Tenth Doctor in the old TARDIS (Allons-y !).


Later, Matt Smith celebrated his 31st birthday (on October 28). And on 4 November the BBC reveals the official short synopsis for the episode :"The Doctors embark on their greatest adventure in this 50th anniversary special. In 2013, something terrible is awakening in London’s National Gallery; in 1562, a murderous plot is afoot in Elizabethan England; and somewhere in space an ancient battle reaches its devastating conclusion. All of reality is at stake as the Doctor’s own dangerous past comes back to haunt him."

Then, a new website has been opened for the hashtag #SaveTheDay. More there are posts with #SaveTheDay on Facebook posts, Google+ posts and tweets on Twitter, much a gold TARDIS will be revealed in 3D, whose the posts are on this TARDIS, and so the 5 sneak previews will be revealed to Doctor Who fans.
But some people have managed to unlock the first sneak preview using the website's source code (available here). 10 seconds with the Doctor and Clara watching a painting ... of Gallifrey in flames. By the way the video shows a girl, Oswood, wearing Fourth Doctor's iconic scarf.

Finally, on 8 and 9 November, we saw the two first TV trailer for "The Day of the Doctor", including scenes of the special.




The two videos have in total at least 5 million viewers, proving that we can't wait for watching the episode. And by the way, see that in the second trailer it shows a funny scene showing the Tenth Doctor discovering Eleventh's TARDIS and saying "Oh, you've redecorated ! I don't like it." These are the same words the Eleventh said to Craig Owens when he discovered Craig's new house in "Closing Time" (series 6, episode 12).

Meanwhile, new photos from the special have been released. You can see them in Doctor Who's and DEwil's Facebook pages, and also in David Tennant News blog.

As Rose Tyler said, "the moment is coming". So be ready for 23 November. Like the Doctor we hope you'll reveal the sneak previews with the hashtag #SaveTheDay, and that you'll enjoy the special, on BBC One, France 4 and other TV channels which will broadcast it.

Allons-y, Geronimo !...
