Last night's Christmas special of Doctor Who had fans on the edge of their seats as they eagerly awaited the season two teaser trailer. It was a night of excitement and anticipation for Whovians, and the trailer did not disappoint. With one shocking scene that left everyone's jaws on the floor, it's safe to say that the upcoming season will be filled with thrills and surprises.
The special, titled Joy To The World, was written by Steven Moffat and featured Ncuti Gatwa as the Doctor and Nicola Coughlan as the titular Joy. As the credits rolled, viewers were treated to a sneak peek of what's to come in the Doctor's next adventures. The trailer promised terrifying villains and heart-pounding confrontations, and fans were left hanging on the edge of their seats.
The trailer begins with the Doctor's ominous voiceover, "There are forces beyond this universe," as we are thrown into an other-worldly action sequence. The tension continues to build as the Doctor warns, "It's all a game to them, but these games are deadly." And just as we're introduced to Varada Sethu as the Doctor's new companion, Belinda Chandra, we see that their journey may not be an easy one. Belinda demands to be taken home, but the Doctor responds with a cryptic, "This might be the long way round."
Fans were also excited to see the return of Millie Gibson as Ruby Sunday, who appears to be working with Kate Stewart at UNIT headquarters. The official synopsis for the upcoming season promises an epic quest to get Belinda back to Earth, but with a mysterious force standing in their way, the Doctor and his team will face greater dangers than ever before.
One moment in the trailer that particularly impressed fans was a spine-tingling scene where an animated creature seems to crawl out of the cinema screen and attack the audience. This unexpected and expertly executed moment had fans raving about the show's increased budget and the creative direction it has taken.
But the increased budget hasn't changed the heart of the show, as Steven Moffat points out in a recent interview. "I look back at our Doctor Who on iPlayer and think it all looks pretty good actually," he reflects. "We've got more budget now, but make no mistake, you can do Doctor Who down a tunnel. When I did 'Boom,' I did Doctor Who that could have been made in 1976."
As for the show's return in 2025, there is no official release date yet. But fans can rest assured that the show is in good hands, with Moffat at the helm and a talented cast that includes Nicola Coughlan, who also starred in the Christmas special this year.
Speaking of the festive episode, Moffat also addressed the storyline that referenced Covid and called out government officials who broke lockdown rules. He clarifies that it was not a political jab, but a statement against those who broke the law. "When people claim it's me having a jab at the Tories, I say, 'do you think Margaret Thatcher would have done that?'" he explains. "It's the party of law and order after all."
With the second season of Doctor Who set to return in 2025, fans have a lot to look forward to. Until then, they can catch up on all the action and excitement on BBC iPlayer. And for any breaking news or updates, they can always count on The Agency entertainment team to keep them in the loop.
