Doctor Who fans rejoice – only five weeks to go until Peter Capaldi returns and there’s a whole new trailer to add to the anticipation.
Following on from the first teaser at Comic-Con last month, the new footage confirms that the monster makers are in full swing for Series Nine with loads of new threats for the Doctor and Clara Oswald.
From a roaring dragon and ghoul-like creatures to strangely scary hands containing eyes, the show looks to be back with a bang.
Upcoming guest star Maisie Williams takes centre stage again, with theories flying about the character she plays after hints of a past link to the Doctor. This time we see Maisie and Clara wearing woolly waistcoats, and Maisie in conversation with a well-dressed cat-like creature – make of that what you will.
The Daleks are back in numbers, including the red Supreme Dalek last seen in David Tennant’s tenure as the Doctor, and there are hints that an episode may see a return to the Daleks’ home planet of Skaro.
And there’s a shot of Jenna Coleman as Clara wielding a bazooka, with a look of steely determination as she lines up a shot.
So not long to wait – and, judging by the reaction, fans are a just teeny bit keen to see Capaldi’s second season stint as the 12th Doctor.
