Other series 5 trailers
There were also other non-narrative clip based trailers advertising the fifth series.
Two 30 second trailers began airing from 19 March 2010, and marked the first use of the music cue "I Am the Doctor". A longer 55 second version aired on Friday Night with Jonathan Ross on 26 March 2010, adding the taglines Who is Coming and It's About Time. On 3 April 2010 it was revealed that these trailers were in fact short versions of the 1'55'' Coming Soon trailer from the end of The Eleventh Hour.

To avoid spoilers for the The Eleventh Hour Amy's line is changed to "When I was a little girl, I dreamed of time and space. Last night all my dreams came true."
