Merry Christmas, Whovians! We have a new Doctor Who trailer!
The official Doctor Who YouTube account has released a new teaser trailer for the first of three specials for Doctor Who's 60th anniversary in 2023, featuring David Tennant as the mysterious new Fourteenth Doctor and the return of Catherine Tate as former Tenth Doctor companion Donna Noble.
The one-minute teaser trailer opens in 2023 London, with a shot of the River Thames near the Tower Bridge. The TARDIS materializes nearby and then we cut to a glimpse of Yasmin Finney's character, another mystery named Rose.
As we see a strange, spherical space pod on Earth, Donna provides a voiceover, saying "Sometimes I think there's something missing. Like I had something lovely...and it's gone." Donna's mother, Sylvia Noble (Jacqueline King), looks extremely concerned about this, knowing that she must never mention the Doctor to her as that might trigger her memory of events and cause her mind to "burn up", killing her, as shown in the events of the episode "Journey's End".
The Fourteenth Doctor says in a voiceover, "I don't know who I am anymore" as we then hear Neil Patrick Harris' unnamed character say in a German accent, "The show is just beginning! Worldwide premiere!"
Next, we see Rose ask a furry alien creature who appears to be Doctor Who comics character Beep the Meep, "Who are they?" Beep replies, "Monsters!"
The monsters Beep refers to are then shown, appearing to be Wrarth Warriors from the same comics storyline, "Doctor Who and the Star Beast", from Doctor Who Magazine #19 through #26 and reprinted in Marvel Comics' 1984 series Doctor Who (vol.1) #1 and #2.
We hear the Fourteenth Doctor say in another voiceover, "I don't believe in destiny, but if destiny exists, then it is heading for Donna Noble." Later, in a separate scene, he says, "If she ever remembers me, she will die."
Of course, Donna spots the Fourteenth Doctor in another scene, calling him "Skinny Man!" as Rose looks on. Sylvia tries to block the Doctor from Donna's view, telling Donna, "He's not there! You can't see him!"
This is followed by fleeting glimpses of the Wrarth Warriors attacking, the Fourteenth Doctor getting into a car while saying Tenth Doctor catchphrase "Allons-y!", Neil Patrick Harris' character excitedly throwing red rose petals at the camera, Ruth Madeley's character Shirley Anne Bingham, and finally, the previous teaser footage of Ncuti Gatwa's incoming Fifteenth Doctor saying, "Will someone tell me what the hell is going on here?!"

Doctor Who is scheduled to return for three 60th Anniversary Specials sometime in November 2023.
