Day 2 of Blog Every Day in April! and today i wanted to talk about the recent trailers that were released for the new season of Doctor Who, which is beginning to air during in the Easter holidays here in the UK (and i think is being shown in parallel on BBC America). Now im a massive fan of Doctor Who, have been since before the new series had even started airing having seen a fair share of the original eps from the legendery Doctors such as William Hartnell and Tom Baker and so i was pumped to see what the new trailer contained and what titbits its revealed.

Now first of all we see the same clip that we saw in the original teaser trailer, with the doctor chained up and growing a rather impressive beard (didn't think Time Lords had to shave) and many people have speculated that its not the original Doctor and instead some clone. Now with these such things i don't like to speculate, but a story document has leaked that involve aliens create a Doctor clone to lead an invasion of Earth, so who knows they're may be some truth in there somewhere.
There are various other things that pop up in the trailer to talk about, but that would take forever and ive posted a youtube video today about some of my thoughts on the trailer, link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAyxeeOMSkY so i'll use here to talk about some of the other bits that actually appear in the BBC America trailer that isn't in the UK Trailer.

The most evident thing is that the American trailer shows way more of the episodes in America (which i believe are the first two episodes of the season), possibly in a ploy to pull prospective American viewers in with the British take on their country or just to showcase that us Brits can still do a decent dramatic portrayal of the country. The interesting thing i found in those clips was that the Tardis seems to be invisible and then decloaks inside some official looking building (probably the White House) surrounded by suprised Secret Service agents, which without context seems a bit odd, but im sure will make sense within the story of the episode. Other things shown in the trailer included what seemed to be a Minotaur in a hotel hallway, a shot of inside the control room in the old Tardis and a quick flashes of what look like people in black suits with skeleton like faces, all and all adding up to what looks to be a great season.
Question: what did you guys think of the trailers?
