Doctor Who teaser...

...and what does it tell us? On the face of it, not much.



The teaser is fifty seconds and features the three new companions, Yasmin (Who I keep mis-spelling), Ryan and Graham sitting in some kind of cafe eating lunch. Everything shakes, and the empty pizza box is suddenly full. There's obviously some kind of timey wimey stuff going on. Or the Doctor moving at super speed.

Then we see Jodie outside, smiling. I'm starting to think that smile is going to be part of her trademark.

So, what does it tell us that we didn't already know? The catchphrase "The Universe is Calling" may be a reference to the Doctor meeting new Companions...or the title of the first episode. Or both. My money is on both.

It's already been mentioned that all three companions are from Sheffield. Them being together in the same diner is a wild coincidence...or the universe doing stuff (there's often the faintest sense that Time in the Whoverse is sentient).

I don't think the Doctor has super speed. The effect might be intended to represent time travel? Chibnall uses quite different visuals from Moffatt.

The end when the logo comes in shows a lot of red...my guess is we'll see a lot of red in the opening credits, too.
