Russell T Davies -

This is just the start, as the fever starts to burn. We’re heading for a November full of Doctor Who surprises, for fans and new viewers alike. Stay alert!

Looks very cinematic.

[iank]

95% clips we've seen before ad nauseum and confirmation of what we've known for well over a year (Harris is the Toymaker, shock).
Wait...was the big reveal of the trailer that Kate fecking Stewart is in it? Really? Possibly the single dullest supporting character in Who history, and that's your big reveal?
This looks more like a 2008 Xmas special than a 60th.
Aren't trailers supposed to build hype? This has actually lessened my interest (which wasn't that great to start with).
Oh dear.

Kate Stewart and UNIT were officially announced back in January.

There was no big reveal of anything. Was there supposed to be?

[iank]

Well this was supposed to be the "big one" wasn't it?
Really starting to look like we've seen everything they've got already. I hope not, I really do. But I'm not hyped at all anymore, and isn't that supposed to be point of a trailer? It looks like Harriet Jones... tired.

Tired. Hell fire! The last lot were comatose.

I think it looks pretty good myself especially compared to most of Jodies stuff.
