Ncuti Gatwaās first series of Doctor Who is almost here ā and to remind us of this, the BBC have released a full trailer.
If thereās one thing to take away from the trailer for the new series, it is this ā Russell T Davies is putting every penny of the higher budget up on the screen.
With the premiere of Ncuti Gatwaās debut series just weeks away, the marketing campaign is beginning to ramp up. First, we got the welcome news that former showrunner and Doctor Whoās most prolific writer Steven Moffat has penned an episode for the new series, which is described as āHitchcockianā in tone. His episode was directed by Julie-Anne Robinson.
Now, we have a full trailer running to two minutes and change. Itās the most footage of the new series weāve had so far, from the TARDIS crashing through a wall, a Regency-era adventure and, of course, lots of running down corridors. It looks, to coin the Ninth Doctorās catchphrase, fantastic.
Watch the trailer below:
Aside from Davies and Moffat, we know that one episode will be written by Loki director Kate Herron and comedian and improviser Briony Redman.
Millie Gibson plays companion Ruby Sunday. Jemma Redgrave, Yasmin Finney, Anita Dobson, Michelle Greenidge and Bonnie Langford are reprising the roles of Kate Stewart, Rose Noble, Mrs Flood, Carla Sunday and Melanie Bush, respectively. Indira Varma is also returning to the Whoniverse after playing Susie Costello in Torchwood, playing a character called The Duchess. Other guest stars include Jinkx Monsoon, Aneurin Barnard, Jonathan Groff and Lenny Rush.
The first two episodes of Doctor Who series one, or series 14 if youāre going by traditional numbering, will stream on BBC iPlayer from midnight on the 11th May before being broadcast on BBC One in the evening. Each subsequent episode will follow the same release pattern.
