So far we’ve had the Tardis getting a bit explodey-wodey in the two previously released teasers for series 8 of Doctor Who, and this third trailer – justy released today – sticks to the same formula. Except now with electricity thrown in there.
Yes the Doctors magnificent time ship is really taking a battering in these promos isnt it? But so is the Doctor himself, after receiving a shocking phone call – literally – a bolt of electricity races up the telephone wire and into the time lords binary vascular system. Plus we get some dialogue, with a rather nasty voice proclaming that they can see into his soul. Its clearly a Dalek – or something Dalek-like, with some fans speculating that this series could see the return of Davros. But I guess its just a case of the old fashioned “wait and see” exercise.
Overall the teaser is very dramatic and manages to excite without giving almost anything away or in fact any actual footage from any of the episodes so far. Unless the Tardis actually does explode and the Doctor does take a major zapping. Which would be cool. Electrocution is cool. Oh hang on, wrong incarnation…
The Doctor returns on August 23rd.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
