At long last, a new trailer!
The BBC has released a new trailer for the three upcoming Doctor Who 60th Anniversary Specials, teasing the return of Jemma Redgrave as UNIT's Kate Stewart. In addition, the BBC has confirmed that Neil Patrick Harris' mysterious villain will indeed be the Toymaker, last seen back in the William Hartnell era serial "The Celestial Toymaker," played by Michael Gough.
The two-minute, ten-second trailer opens in London, as Donna Noble (Catherine Tate) remarks to her mother Sylvia Noble (Jacqueline King), "Sometimes, I think there's something missing. Like I had something lovely...and it's gone. I lie in bed thinking, 'What have I lost?'"
Next, we hear the new Fourteenth Doctor (David Tennant) say to Shirley Anne Bingham (Ruth Madeley), "Now, I've got this friend, called Donna Noble. I had to wipe her memory to save her life. If she remembers me, she will die, so what happens next? A spaceship crashes right in front of her, it's like she's drawing us in."
We cut to a quick scene of Donna poking the eye of Beep the Meep (voiced by Miriam Margolyes). "What the hell!" exclaims Donna. "We've got a bloody Martian in the shed!" This is immediately followed by a shot of Sylvia slapping the Fourteenth Doctor, something she did when David Tennant played the Tenth. "Ahhh, here we go again!" exclaims the Doctor.
As we see the Doctor and Donna aboard some kind of space station, the Doctor remarks in a voiceover, "I don't believe in destiny, but if destiny exists, then it is heading for Donna Noble."
We cut to another scene, with the Doctor saying in a voiceover, "And I've got a memory. After a very long time, something's coming back." As we hear this, we see the Toymaker dancing around, dressed in a formal top hat and tuxedo.
Yasmin FInney's character Rose is then shown with Beep the Meep as she asks, "Who are they?"
"Monsters," replies Beep the Meep.
In a separate scene, Donna asks the Doctor, "There's something so bad the TARDIS ran away?"
The Doctor pauses for a moment, before replying, "Yes."
"Then...we...go and KICK IT'S ARSE!"
Next, we see a large helicopter carrying the TARDIS about to land on a helipad atop UNIT's brand-new headquarters. As the Doctor and Donna emerge, they're greeted by Kate Lethbridge-Stewart. Kate asks, "What do we do this time, Doctor? How do we fight the human race?"
As we see the streets of London in chaos, the Doctor remarks, "Something entered this world."
The Toymaker, speaking with a German accent, says, "Oh, but he is recognizing me."
Donna asks, "Who is he?"
"The one who waits," remarks an unknown voice.
Some random clips follow, first with Kate Stewart ordering someone to "Open fire!"
The Doctor cries out in anguish, "Why does it have to be this?!" as he looks up and sees a giant version of the Toymaker holding puppet strings in his hands.
On UNIT's helipad, the Toymaker aims a large cannon at the Doctor, who yells back, "Your fight is with me!"
In another scene, the Doctor says to Donna, "I don't know...if I can save your life this time."
More fleeting images end the trailer, including the Wrarth Warriors, the Toymaker exclaiming "Worldwide premiere!", and lastly, Ncuti Gatwa's Fifteenth Doctor slowly opening his eyes.
