Apparently there is a new trailer due to air on Saturday (September 23)

"It seems like a new trailer for Doctor Who will land on BBC One this Saturday. That's how fans interpret the latest "glitch" on the channel, which has used faux broadcast interruptions to market Doctor Who's upcoming 60th-anniversary specials starring David Tennant. The latest of those glitches revealed binary code that, when translated into English, reads, "Their time has come, Saturday 23 September, BBC One, 6:10 p.m." Playing the video in reverse reveals the Doctor Who theme song followed by the beginning of the Strictly Come Dancing theme. That makes sense since Strictly airs at 6:15 p.m. on Saturday. The Doctor Who trailer (or preview or whatever else it may be) should lead straight into the dancing competition."

There really needs to be a glimpse of something new. Another Doctor, companion or something.

We've known everything there is to know so far for months. As for the casual viewer tuning in to Strictly, they might be intrigued were Karen Gillan to be seen as well.

The steel book art is alright (I suppose) but couldn't they have come up with something better for the dvd / Blu artwork?

Makes it look as exciting as it actually is so i guess they aren't misleading any potential buyers.
