A new Doctor Who season 10 trailer has been released, giving fans a taste of what is to come during Peter Capaldi’s last run as the Time Lord.
The promo, dubbed A Time For Heroes, was tweeted on the programme’s official social media account on Saturday afternoon and shows the Doctor (Capaldi), his new companion Bill Potts (Pearl Mackie) and character Nardole, played by Matt Lucas, striding through a library as explosions go off around them.
An excited looking Bill, a new character for this series, narrates the trailer.
She says: “The first time you meet him, he’s funny. The second time, he’s amazing. The third time you realise he’s the most dangerous man in the universe.
“He says he’s a man of peace, but he walks in war.
“I’m having the time of my life, and I wouldn’t miss it for the world, even if it kills me.”
