BBC America: Doctor Who: The Snowmen trailer

December 18, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Two Doctor Who trailers in one day. We had Vastra Investigates today, nearly three minutes long, and now BBC America have released this shorter (and typical) trailer. This is the first trailer that doesn’t undermine Geek Native’s attempt to guess/work out the big villian in the episode (speculation/spoiler risk). There is a spooky voice, after […]

December 17, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

New Doctor Who Christmas special trailer: The Snowmen

December 12, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The BBC have released a new trailer for The Snowmen, the Doctor Who Christmas Special, that re-introduces Jenna-Louise Coleman as “Clara”. The video shows the killer Snowmen and Richard E Grant as Doctor Simeon. A new ice-like alien is also shown. There’s nothing in the trailer which adds any more weight to Geek Native’s speculation […]

Will the Great Intelligence and the Yeti appear in the Doctor Who Christmas special?

December 8, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood 2 Comments

This post is speculation. I’ve not seen any of the previews of The Snowmen, the 2012 Christmas special, and I’ve no insider knowledge. This post is fanboy froth, mixed with internet research and the chance to show some previously discovered art and pictures. If you’re worried that this speculation might be right and therefore might […]
