Trailer #2: DOCTOR WHO – 'The Day of The Doctor' extended version

Saturday, 9 November 2013

In a surprise move, the BBC released a different Doctor Who trailer on Saturday evening—but it's not clear if this was because the intended one leaked overseas, forcing them to release it online earlier in the day. Or if this second one was always going to air on television, just not on the Sunday as expected. Whatever happened, there's a new trailer!

I don't think this one's quite as exciting as the first one, weirdly, although it does show far more of Matt Smith and David Tennant clowning around together. It feels like we're in for an entertaining double-act, with the rivalry played for laughs. Love that 'comparing the size of their sonic screwdrivers' scene, with the obvious phallic subtext. Tennant wins, right? His is a grower, not a shower.

Doctor Who's "The Day of The Doctor" is still going to be premiering around the world 23 November 2013. Nothing's changed. You can keep breathing.
