BBC releases new Doctor Who teasers for The Girl Who Waited

Add as a preferred source on Google

It’s only been 36 hours since the most recent episode of Doctor Who rolled credits, but we already have a new trailer and behind-the-scenes teaser for “The Girl Who Waited,” next weekend’s episode.

In the new episode, The Doctor is tasked with saving Amy Pond from a quarantine facility for victims of an alien plague. The only problem is that The Doctor can’t actually set foot in the facility himself, so it’s up to Rory to save his damsel in distress.

Of course, judging by what we see in the trailer, Amy might be able to handle herself just fine… at least, one of the versions of Amy can.

Confused? Yeah, we are, too — but we have good news and bad news.

On the good side, the new trailer is a nice teaser for the episode, which was penned by “Rise of the Cybermen” and “Age of Steel” writer Tom MacRae. The BBC has also released an interesting video that introduces the episode via interviews with MacRae and Amy Pond herself (Karen Gillan).

On the bade side, we’ll have to wait until September 10 to find out exactly what’s going on, and why Amy appears to be fighting robots in an Apple Store. (That is what it looks like, isn’t it?)

Doctor Who airs Saturday, 9PM ET on BBC America.

Apple just revealed Liminal, and it already looks like a serious contender for its next big sci-fi movie. With a clear sci-fi hook and recognizable names attached, this is the kind of announcement that’s easy to get invested in early.

The project comes from Apple Original Films and pairs Vanessa Kirby with Yahya Abdul-Mateen II in leading roles. It’s directed by Louis Leterrier, who’s known for keeping stories fast and visually sharp, which already hints at a more kinetic kind of sci-fi than Apple usually leans into.
