The BBC have today released a second full-length trailer for Series Eleven of Doctor Who, featuring brand new footage of Whittaker as the Thirteenth Doctor!
Want to see more of what Series Eleven of Doctor Who will be like before October 7th? You’re in luck, as the BBC have released another brand new trailer!
After months of secrecy, it’s fantastic that the BBC are really gearing up the promotion for Series Eleven. We’ve had publicity photos, World Cup and release date teasers, and, until today, just one full-length trailer that features actual footage from the show.
It has to be said, this brand new trailer is definitely surprising. Especially as the BBC do enjoy teasing audiences beforehand when it comes to brand new stuff for fans to get excited about. It’s definitely a nice surprise, though. See why in the trailer below.
Spaceships and alien worlds
What’s really great about this trailer is how it includes even more science-fiction essentials than the last trailer did. For example, the first few images we see are of space, an alien world and a space ship. And of course, we get a few glimpses inside a future or alien environment, too.

However, it’s still a little bit surprising that, once again, we don’t get a single glimpse of any aliens in the show. As I’ve mentioned before, aliens are a big part of Doctor Who, whether good or bad. So I hope that this isn’t an indication of an era completely lacking in aliens or monsters.
On the plus side, one thing this trailer doesn’t include that I’m very glad about: spoilers. We haven’t seen any returning faces or enemies, no major surprises. I hope that the BBC keep it that way. Especially after they spoiled Gallifrey for Series Nine and John Simm’s return in Series Ten.
YouTube
Oh, and one other thing? Not to do with the trailer itself, but afterwards. You may have noticed Jodie Whittaker’s little reminder:
"Don’t forget to click below and subscribe to the official Doctor Who YouTube channel."
I was wondering when they were getting round to that. Honestly, after years of Capaldi saying that on the official YouTube videos, it’s strange to have someone new saying it. But, like the new Doctor and the new showrunner, I’m sure it’s something I’ll get used to.
Doctor Who will be back on screens on October 7th.
