OK, For Real This Time. Here Is The EXTENDED Trailer to DOCTOR WHO: THE DAY OF THE DOCTOR…

So, a teaser peek to this long awaited full trailer hit unexpectedly this morning. The 40-second spot, heavy on action short on plot, obviously spread like wildfire online. It was assumed to be an early leak and was not specifically identified as a trailer to the trailer.

But as originally planned, the full first look to Doctor Who‘s 50th Anniversary episode, The Day of the Doctor indeed debuted in the UK on BBC One at 8pm.

So without further adieu:

Here is BBC’s official info for The Day of the Doctor:

“The centerpiece of BBC AMERICA’s celebrations is the global simulcast of Doctor Who’s 50th Anniversary special, Doctor Who: The Day of the Doctor, written by Steven Moffat. The Doctors (Matt Smith and David Tennant) embark on their greatest adventure across space and time.”

“In 2013, something terrible is awakening in London’s National Gallery; in 1562, a murderous plot is afoot in Elizabethan England; and somewhere in space an ancient battle reaches its devastating conclusion. All of reality is at stake as the Doctor’s own dangerous past comes back to haunt him.”

“Starring Matt Smith, David Tennant, Jenna Coleman, with Billie Piper and John Hurt. Last seen as the Doctor on January 1, 2010, this will be the first time David Tennant has reprised his role as the Tenth Doctor. During his reign as the Time Lord, Tennant appeared in three seasons as well as several specials. He was first revealed as the Doctor in the 2005 season finale, The Parting of the Ways. Meanwhile Billie Piper, who played companion Rose Tyler for two seasons following the reboot in 2005, will appear in the show for the first time since featuring in David Tennant’s last episode, The End of Time in 2010. The special is directed by Nick Hurran, executive produced by Steven Moffat, Faith Penhale and produced by Marcus Wilson.”
