Doctor Who: All of Time and Space...

The sky is falling and the apocalypse is nigh....

....or at least, that's what you'd think if you'd been reading the Gallifrey Base forum for the past few days.

The new 3D Doctor Who trailer, released on Saturday, saw the Eleventh Doctor and Amy Pond falling through the time vortex, dodging Daleks and grappling with Weeping Angels. We also got a look at a new monster face which may or may not be that of a Silurian or a Sea Devil. The trailer was frantic, full of action, and colourful. Clearly designed with the child audience in mind.

It did seem to upset a large portion of fandom. I guess a lot of people were expecting to see clips from the episodes and were dissapointed with what they actually got. Personally I thought the trailer was alright, if not the best. Karen Gillan was pretty good and Matt Smith had a good moment with the "every star that ever was" line. Unfortunately, the green screen time vortex effect looked a bit dodgy, and the Silurian/Sea Devil face looked a bit plasticy and crap.

On brighter news, it's only six weeks or so until Doctor Who airs. Bring on the New Era!
