Holy SHIT!

Dinosaurs? My body was not ready.

 

[EleventhDoctor]

Dinosaurs?

...on a spaceship.

 

[EleventhDoctor]

Double post again, more avatars!

I'll take this thank you.

 

[Team Filler]

Did...did I hear The Doctor say something about The Master in that trailer?

 

[ag-my001]

Yes you did. Also, did that look like the Byzantium crash-site cliff to anyone else?

"Today, I honour the victims first. His, The Master's, the Daleks' - all the people who died because of MY mercy."

I wouldn't read much into that, even if it is. Be like wondering if it was always the same rock quarry they were visiting in the 80s.

Haha, exactly. They've used that place a couple of times already: Doomsday, Journey's End, Time of the Angels, and Flesh and Stone.

 

[Gav]

Unsure if i can wait much longer after seeing that.

My S5 & 6 Blurays will have to try and fill the gap.

 

[Pixel_boy]

Cheap reused Robots from a kids tv show called Mission:2110

 

[IdreamofHIME]

But what does that mean? Why? Simply because of bad financial times? Isn't the show bringing in more revenue worldwide? I think I remember Moffet grumbling about that in the past-that the show always got the same slice of the pie, even when the merchandising and licensing money it was generating was increasing year after the year.

The BBC is not a commercial channel, it's priorities are not to make money.
No matter how much cash Who and Top Gear rake in for the BBC World Wide division, the BBC can't justify spending tax payers money on those over other shows in the eyes of the BBC Board of Governors.
It's annual budget of 350 million is set by the Government, a Conservative Government that's never been shy of his distaste for the BBC. That budget has to serve everything and everyone at the BBC for the whole year.
With the license fee being frozen for the foreseeable future, that budget will be a tighter restraint for all going forward in the next few years. Something the Tories will revel in.

 

[Spiffy_1st]

Just go away River, you're boring and dead already.

Other than that, looks amazing.

 

[Gowans]

can't wait

 

[Coppertracks]

Rorrrrryyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!! Run away from the Angel cherub!!!

Can't wait! Potentially only 4 weeks to go!

Amy gets hotter with each new season.

Thanks for the explanation! I wonder if BBC America helps pay for some of the budget as well?

 

[Lord Snow]

The new series looks amazing and Karen, daaaaamn.

Goodbye Captain America PhoneyBone avatar.

Welcome back Doctor PhoneyBone!

Anyway the trailer looks great. Now if only DirecTV would carry BBC America in HD... bastards.

Screw you! I like River Song. The only people besides Donna Nobel that constantly puts The Doctor in this place and doesn't take his shit.

I'm with you on River Song. She is one of my favorite characters

 

[Guerrillas in the Mist]

Yeah, I'd imagine the BBCA, along with DVD sales and it's other worldwide divisions, are helping the BBC now more than ever, especially in a time when public spending is tight, and the government is convinced the BBC consists entirely of Tory-hating communists.

 

[Citizen_Insane]

This. Having her in the trailer actually brought down my hype for this season.

"See, this is what happens when you travel alone for too long." Seeing the Doctor get angry yesssssssssss.

 

[mclem]

Rorrrrryyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!! Run away from the Angel cherub!!!

*Cherubic* weeping angels? Well that's a whole new area of terrifying kids that hasn't been explored. Excellent.

 

[isny]

Noticeable: The new paradigm Daleks have been given a makeover.

Even more noticeable: They're buried under a metric fucktonne of Proper Daleks.

Yup. Wouldn't surprise me if the Doctor ended up siding with the classis Daleks we've had since Nine. He's always been about redemption, and they're probably being slaughtered by the new ones...

 

[neojubei]

Oh, come on, "The Centurion" is the perfect name for a recurring Who villain!

That would be cool.

 

[The Elite]

Trailer is live.

So awesome.

Oh god! Soooo Good!

 

[DieH@rd]

So awesome.

S7 trailer was good, but it didnt come not even remotely close to the S6 one.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vIsQ25Krq8

Now that... is an awesome trailer.

 

[G.O.O.]

I'd like the angels to be left alone... each new episode featuring them makes them lose their impact.

 

[mightynine]

I need this now.

You just know that "Who killed all the Daleks?" bit is going to open an episode, not end it.

 

[CorrisD]

I'd like the angels to be left alone... each new episode featuring them makes them lose their impact.

Considering what we know about the episode they are in, it sounds like they mean business with the Weeping Angels this time, lol.

Yeah but how did the Doctor "fall" after rising higher? Man the season 6 plotline was a boring muddled mess.

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

Most exciting thing in all this for me is Special Weapons Dalek!

 

[PalaceBrother]

Just go away River, you're boring and dead already.

Agreed 100% I was hoping we were done with her strutting and "sass".

Holy crap at the baby angel @ :40. Fantastic trailer.

 

[andylsun]

Ace trailer - nice to see proper daleks. Was anyone else prompted for 3D with that trailer? Is the whole series going to be broadcast that way.

No way I can watch youtube 3D on a 3DS is there?

 

[21st century cowboy]

New t-shirt.

Also, a couple of avatars for whoever wants them.

I try to stay out of this thread when the show's not on but with it so close to starting again I'm getting excited.

Thank you kindly Sir.

I will shed a tear when she leaves the show. Defiantly the loveliest lass of TV at the moment.

 

[slightconfuse]

im excited after seeing that wonder why they are bring coy about a premire date

 

[infiniteloop]

BBC doesn't release their schedule until a couple of weeks before broadcast.

 

[The Technomancer]

Agreed. It feels like fan-service, but not very smart fan service.

 

[bengraven]

I apologize to the classic Who fans or the fans who hate Moffat or whomever really hates the Matt era (no I don't really, eff you), but I'm going to seriously hate losing Amy and Rory. They've become one of my favorite duos of all time.

Amy and Rory as a duo are awesome. Amy by herself....ehhhhhh

 

[ultron87]

I just hope they don't show an Angel move again. I hated that.

 

[bengraven]

Amy and Rory as a duo are awesome. Amy by herself....ehhhhhh

Nah, I dig the relationship with the Doctor. Apologies (for real this time) for Donna fans, but Amy and 10 have a better "best friend" relationship. They're the type of best friends who become family after a while and I dig it. They remind me of myself and a female best friend of my own.

 

[brucewaynegretzky]

I don't get how people can be annoyed that River is showing up at all because she "comes back too much" but are ok with Amy sticking around for what seems like a fucking eternity.

 

[slightconfuse]

i too think the angels need a break from tv for a season

 

[PalaceBrother]

Amy is just a plot device for the Doctor's adventures.

River Song is a scenery-chewing amalgam of what the writers thing is "edgy" and "cool".

 

[The Technomancer]

i too think the angels need a break from tv for a season

Time of Angels really did feel like inept fan service, it was like they said "man, everyone loves Blink, lets bring back the angels" without putting much thought into what exactly it was people loved. (or at least what I loved... *sulk*)

 

[Future Foundation]

I don't get how people can be annoyed that River is showing up at all because she "comes back too much" but are ok with Amy sticking around for what seems like a fucking eternity.

It's only been two series and like 20-something episodes. In America (depending on the show) that's like a season-and-a-half.

 

[BatDan]

i too think the angels need a break from tv for a season

They did. All they had was a cameo in Season 6/32. It's like complaining about the one Dalek scene in the finale.

 

[Htown]

Or one long season.

I don't get it either.
