Trailers

A teaser trailer was shown at Comic-Con 2009. The voiceover is provided by Timothy Dalton.

"It is said that in the final days of planet Earth, everyone had bad dreams".

A unknown person laughs after this.

We then see multiple clips, including those of the Tenth Doctor, what may be a crazed Ood, Donna, Wilfred Mott, Sylvia Noble and a unknown man, David Harewood as a unknown character (possibly called Joshua Naismith), and a hooded man.

The mood is very dark. A female voice says "He returns". Then the Master is shown, with a dyed, blonde hair. He says, "My name is the Master". The tag line at the end of the trailer is "The End of Time", "Christmas 2009".
