Looks pretty fun, definitely the biggest budget Doctor Who has ever had.
Donna seems a bit... Runaway Bride-ish though, which is worrying. That "let's kick its arse" bit was cringeworthy

The Meep says "Meep Meep"
That was the best bit.

The show has never looked better, yet felt so soulless. It looks like every other American TV series, not Doctor Who.
Never did I ever thing I would say Tennents original run felt more like classic who.

Looks tired, unoriginal bollocks to be honest.

As Oka notes, it's well made on the production side and I suppose it could be superficially entertaining but at the end of the day, I feel it's looking less like a celebration of 60 years of Doctor Who and more a Series Four 15th anniversary special.
The messages down below are also an indicator of this with people saying something across the lines of ''this is what I've been waiting for the last 15 years''. Well, if you paid attention, we've had this formula since Smith's last series and as Bernard noted in his thread, is there anything here that's new and potentially enticing after 18 years or is it just hiding behind faces of a ''golden age'' long past to disguise the fact that ideas wise, we're f*cking bereft?

Doctor Who smelling it's own farts is back baby! Mind it's only been a few months.

Well that was a staggeringly dull trailer, wasn't it? 95% clips we've seen before ad nauseum and confirmation of what we've known for well over a year.
Wait...was the big reveal of the trailer that Kate fecking Stewart is in it? Really? Possibly the single dullest supporting character in Who history, and that's your big reveal?
As Brian says, this looks more like a 2008 Xmas special than a 60th.
Aren't trailers supposed to build hype? This has actually lessened my interest (which wasn't that great to start with).
Oh dear.

Exactly Ian, it doesn't seem any different from any other trailer that we've had to put up with for the last 20 years. "Kate Lethbridge Stewart!" Yeah, that's going to pile in the viewers!!

But the Meep DOES say, "Meep!Meep!" It's voiced by Mirum Maroyles who is a pain in the hole. |

I agree that it looks more like an anniversary of Series 4. New fans will no doubt have the cheek in a few years to demand a 20th anniversary special of NuWho like they did back in 2015. I guess the 8th anniversary special shat out back in 2013 wasn't good enough.

And I'm sorry but I find Tate unwatchable. Why are obnoxious thicko characters so popular these days? Is it because the target audience finds them easier to relate to?

But she didn't fancy the Doctor. A huge innovation. That's if you leave out every single companion for the first 26 years.
