Briefly: There’s just five days to go until The Time of the Doctor finally airs, and Matt Smith is no longer our doctor.

BBC has debuted a new, longer trailer for the special (watch the previous teaser here), and just as before, everything looks great. Seriously, I can’t wait to ignore whatever family gathering I happen to be at when 8pm rolls around, and watch the magic happen on BBC instead.

Take a look at the new trailer below, and as always, let us know what you think!

Orbiting a quiet backwater planet, the massed forces of the universe’s deadliest species gather, drawn to a mysterious message that echoes out to the stars – and amongst them, the Doctor. Rescuing Clara from a family Christmas dinner, the Time Lord and his best friend must learn what this enigmatic signal means for his own fate and that of the universe.

‘The Time Of The Doctor’ Gets A New Teaser!

Briefly: We’re now just 14 days away, everyone!

No, not from Christmas, silly. I’m talking about The Time of the Doctor of course! The much more important event (and Matt Smith’s final appearance as the Doctor) just so happens to take place on December 25th, and we couldn’t be more excited!

BBC has just launched the first teaser for the episode, which naturally features a few small spoilers. It clocks in at a short 36 seconds long, but it’s 36 seconds of perfect, and really gets us excited to throw on our new Tardis bath robes (the ones we put right at the top of our lists) and get down to business on Christmas day.

Take a look at the teaser below, and let us know what you think! Are you ready to say goodbye to Matt Smith?

The Time of the Doctor: New Photos, New Rumors

by S.J. BorgerDecember 5, 2013

After stunning audiences and silencing critics with the (mostly) pitch-perfect 50th anniversary special, “The Day of the Doctor,” Moffat et. al. now have their work cut out for them with the Christmas Special. Per tradition (if one other reincarnation at a Christmas Special can be a tradition…) this episode must be: Seasonal, Sad, Funny, Heroic and Devastating. Not exactly the easiest thing to pull off. And now that we know that Gallfirey is still in existence (can we get a big, loud woot! for that?), what possible adventure can our 11th Doctor (he’s the 11th, not the 12th–you know what, that’s a different article) have that brings together all of the above themes and moments while also including Cyberman, Daleks, Weeping Angels and the Silence? Not to mention the regeneration into the 12th Doctor at some point?

New pictures released by the BBC yesterday answer no questions but are certainly fuel for the fire. Persue below at your leisure and let us know what you think in the comments. Rampant speculation about what the Christmas Special could be about encouraged.
