Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 20th July, 2018.

20th July, 2018.

Yep: it’s official.

The trailer for Dr Who’s eleventh series — the first with Jodie Whittaker as the Thirteenth Doctor — was the official Dr Who Youtube channel: and BBC America’s.   Along side Jodie’s first appearance at the San Diego Comic Con.

Along side anything else?

I suspect a few of the clips in the trailer are from one or two episodes.

There’s quite a LOT of scenes with the 13th Doctor in the 12th’s outfit: so in the immediate aftermath of the regeneration.

You get to see the new sonic screwdriver in action.

No apparent shoots of the new TARDIS set … 

And still no date.

That’s a disappointment … 

But, it’s a nice trailer to see …

*        I THINK I’ve managed to source it, Olga‡.   It’s short — which I knew, anyway — but looks like it’ll make for an interesting evening’s viewing.   That shortness should let me do a really LONG post … (Oh, I’ve seen the new Dr Who trailer.   The sonic screwdriver’s looking orange.   OK, I’ll shut up …).  Oh, hang on, you mean the Queen biopic?   You’re right!   Good’s the word!

†        That We will, Debbi‡, that we will!   Oh, have you caught the new trailer?   The US version tells us series eleven will hit in ‘the fall.’    I’m just looking forward to getting a date … !   For the show!   Buying someone a coffee’s a bit more money than I’ve got at the mo!   (The sonic screwdriver’s looking orange.   OK, you’d noticed, hadn’t you … ?)

‡        As far as I can tell?   The line’s called Line 1.   What can I tell you?
