AceShowbiz - BBC America has unleashed the full trailer for "Doctor Who" season 9, seeing the titular character back in action. "Sorry, I'm late," he says when entering the TARDIS. He declares in another scene, "I'm the Doctor... And I save people."
The promo video offers a look at some monsters that the Doctor will face off in this coming season. "This is where your story ends," he warns his enemy. There's also a glimpse of Maisie Williams, whose mysterious character seems to get along well with Clara, and the returning Missy, played by Michelle Gomez in last season.
At the TCA press tour in early August, showrunner Steven Moffat teased Maisie Williams' character. "She is not playing a returning character. She's a brand new character. She is not someone from the Doctor's past ... Unless I'm lying," he said.
Moffat added, "I think once you see what she's up to in the show you'll appreciate what a clever idea of Brian Minchin's - that was [my co-exec] who thought of Maisie for this part. It's a significant role. We're not throwing her away. We're not just getting star value and doing nothing with it. It's a great part, and she's terrific in it. But, I would say, it will develop in unexpected ways."
"Doctor Who" season 9 premieres September 19 on BBC America.
