Believe it or not this will actually be only the second multi-Doctor episode of the modern era. It looks good actually. I'm hopeful that Moffat will go out on a relatively high note.

Seeing the stuff from the First Doctor recreated is a neat gimmick (I guess they had most of it already prepared from the docudrama).

Last male Doctor episode for a while.

Whilst not an episode, the one-off 'Time Crash' with David Tennant and Peter Davison is a must watch.

I hope Gattis is not a young version of the Brigadier ...

Hey look it is Polly !

Beaniedude · Jul 23, 2017

Huh.... So they brought back Bill for this one.

Not sure how I feel about this. I despised what happened with Clara how they had multiple goodbyes but she just kept on coming back.

jack_package_200 · Jul 23, 2017

David Bradley is a good substitute for the first doctor.

As if Clara's not coming back for this one too. You know Moffat can't help himself.

Interesting to see Peter Capaldi's Doctor getting a final episode where he doesn't seem to be much of the focus for the story.

It seems like a worthy tradition to bring back that Doctor's companions for his goodbye episode.

Jenna Coleman is indeed in this episode.

Moffat needs to get some fanboy lore stuff out of his system while he can.

VAD · Jul 23, 2017

Did his hair get even bigger? David Bradley is so good they should do remakes of the first seasons. Happy to see Bill back!

Man. This has the potential to be so cool.

I hope Moffat can pull this off. I have so much nostalgia for the first two Doctors, so this whole scenario is like a fan service-y dream come true to me. It also has the potential to be super terrible, though, so I'm cautiously optimistic.

This whole premise kinda reads like Moffat's (and maybe Capaldi and Bradley's?) Big Finish pilot episode.

It seems he does his best when under a lot of pressure, so I'm hoping that this being his last ever episode, he'll pull it off beautifully.
The trailer looks pretty cool!

Would be a great way to get back some of the lost episodes.

Savitar · Jul 23, 2017

Double the regeneration's double the fun!

If they want to use him to redo some of the missing first season Doctor episodes not against it, he could do it justice.

lastplayed · Jul 23, 2017

Nooo they got the windows wrong! So close yet so far.

Dalek · Jul 23, 2017

I was hoping it would be named "Twelfth Night".

SpacePirate Ridley · Jul 24, 2017

This is going to be great, that trailer is pure hype.

It's an odd mistake considering the current tardis' window frames are white like the original and not blue...

(Looking at pictures, it seems the blue frames did show up in the Hartnell era, but only in what seem to be shots of a miniature model)

Media · Jul 24, 2017

Very excited for this.

MHWilliams · Jul 24, 2017

Look at that wild Capaldi hair. Best note to go out on.

One can get a bit nitpicky about different Tardises, it's a slippery slope.

About the same length as Whittaker's

Wasn't that the name of Capaldi's first episode?

Effect · Jul 24, 2017

I'm glad Bill is back. I wanted a better send off and goodbye for her and for the Doctor to actually know what happen to her. The idea that there would be no closure there was something I didn't like but wanted to wait and see if the Christmas special would actually address it. I'm glad that it seems they might be.

M.Bluth · Jul 24, 2017

No. It was called "Deep Breath."

My three thoughts on the trailer were basically:

The original is back, this is going to rock.
Hair game is ON POINT!
HOLY SHIT, WHITE WALLS with CIRCLES! OMG! OMG! BEST TARDIS RETURNS!

M.Bluth said:

Huh. I must've just filled that in my head after The Eleventh Hour.

I don't think Twelfth Night is really appropriate here since it looks like the First Doctor is an equal point of emphasis.

xandaca · Jul 24, 2017

Very glad Capaldi's going out with batshit crazy hair. Hopefully he gets to play his guitar one last time as well. Not mad about David Bradley as One and hopefully Gatiss isn't playing the Brig, but otherwise fingers crossed Moffat pulls something great out of the hat for Capaldi's farewell. He deserves it, especially as the last season didn't do him justice.

ferrasvansen · Jul 24, 2017

That hair is just great, mad crazy and eccentric just like the Doctor should be in my eyes. Cannot wait for this episode on Christmas Day.

I would actually dig that. I think Bradley would do a good job.

I think Troughton is borderline unrecastable though.

From what I've seen of Troughton, they could put Matt Smith in a Beatles wig and they'd be about halfway there.

Ever? I could easily see him come back for an episode a season again. Maybe not next year, but I think he'll be back.

A companion that tagged along with the First and Second Doctors.

One of the companions the first Doctor was travelling with during his regeneration story.

Thanks ! I watched some of the old episodes a few years ago but not enough to remember her. I intend to watch some more before the Christmas Special though

Quick · Jul 24, 2017

That transition from Hartnell to Bradley was awesome.

Was just about to wonder how they achieved that. From the looks of it they mapped Hartnell's face onto Bradley, then morphed from one to the next?

I am super happy that Pearl made it back for one last goodbye.

I really hope we see her some more during Whitiker's tenure as well.

ryan13ts · Jul 24, 2017

This looks like it has the potential to be pretty good. I'm also glad Bill is back, didn't like the idea of that being how they're journey ended. Was it ever confirmed that she (or Nardole for that matter) wasn't coming back for the next series?

With regards to the earlier seasons that have lost their episodes, I would be fine if they either did a mini-series or a radio drama that brings the new actors (including David Bradley) reading the old scripts and filling in the gaps.

There is a lot of potential to mine those lost episodes.

Big Nikus · Jul 24, 2017

Happy to see Bill too, but what I want is a whole season of only Nardole doing Nardole stuff.
Wait, fuck that, I want a season with Missy as the main protagonist and Nardole as her companion.

So Ashildr will be making an appearance as well? And the diner TARDIS as well?
