First glimpse of new Doctor Who series

Doctor Who today (2 August) releases the first official image from the new series. Featuring the Doctor, Amy Pond and a whole host of his most famous and fearsome enemy the Daleks, the picture gives fans an exclusive sneak peak at what to expect from the epic new series.

The release of the image coincides with the 90 second trailer that will air on BBC ONE at around 8pm this evening (2 August) as part of the Original British Drama campaign, showcasing specially selected clips from all five episodes. The clip will also be available on the BBC’s YouTube channel.

Doctor Who returns to BBC ONE later this year with five episodes, followed by the Christmas special and a further eight episodes in 2013. The opening episode’s title has been confirmed as Asylum of the Daleks.
