New Series Trailer Transcript

THE NEW SERIES TRAILER:

- Tunnel - the same one as in the brief "TARDIS escaping" trailer. Explosion. Flames visible at the end.
- Eccleston inside TARDIS (back to doors), hands on railings either side of the door, looking down. Head whips up, accompanied by a percussion sting.
- Closeup of tunnel end, a shadow cast on the wall.
- Repeat of the above Eccleston shot.
- Tunnel floor. Flames reflected. Feet running towards the camera, in slow-mo.
- Eccleston to camera: "D'you wanna come with me?"
- Camera rushing down tunnel towards fire. TARDIS materialisation sound effect.
- Eccleston pushes up off the railings, walks up the ramp from the doors towards the console. Materialisation sound effect continues. "Cause if you do, then I should warn you." (Reverb effect on "warn you".)
- Camera circling around TARDIS console, steady and level (nice clear close-ups, plus we get to see some seats by the console). Canera pulls back, giving a nice overview of the console and console room (doors just visible to the left of shot here). Old Grainer/Derbyshire theme sample here (just the first sound). Eccleston's last words are repeated with heavy reverb here. (Would you believe this is just the first 15 seconds?)
- Camera angle changes; still the console room, console now on right of screen, doors more visible to left, Eccleston walking up ramp towards the console. Dialogue reverb continues. New theme kicks in, in earnest!
- Silhouette running away from flames. Rather out-of-focus. Looks to be in the tunnel again.
- Eccleston, walking towards the console: "You're gonna see all sorts of things."
- Tunnel. Eccleston running away from fireball (very clear this time).
- Eccleston walking across console room: "Ghosts from the past."
- Another circle around the console, but this time it's active - time rotor in motion, dry ice. Camera height/angle is varied.
- Previous shot of Eccleston continues as he walks behind active console. "Aliens from the future."
- Tunnel again; feet running towards camera, flames in the background.
- Previous shot of Eccleston continues as he emerges from behind the console. "The day the Earth died in a--"
- Extreme closeup of Eccleston as he finishes his line: "--ball of flame."
- Tunnel. Fireball rounds the corner. Eccleston glances back over his shoulder and runs towards the camera.
- Medium shot of Eccleston in the TARDIS: "It won't be quiet."
- Close-up of Eccleston, as before: "It won't be safe."
- Slightly less close shot of Eccleston, as before: "And it won't be calm." (At least, I think he says "calm". It's a little unclear.)
- Slightly less close again, as before: "But I'll tell you what it will be."
- Medium shot of Eccleston fleeing the fireball.
- Eccleston in TARDIS, hands behind back, smiling, as camera moves closer (possibly re-used shot from earlier teaser, footage played backwards?). "Tell you what it will be" reverb'ed over.
- Fireball erupting along tunnel.
- Close-up of Eccleston, as before: "The trip of a lifetime." (This is the 35-second mark)
- Long CGI pullback from Earth to space. (Recycled from first teaser and "Rose", played backwards.)
- CGI spacecraft flying over St. Paul's, past camera. ("Aliens of London")
- Same spacecraft flying away from camera towards Big Ben. ("Aliens of London")
- Quick shot of spacecraft "wing" tearing through the face of Big Ben. Looks like miniature work but could be CGI. ("Aliens of London")
- Horse-drawn carriage in darkened street coming towards camera. ("The Unquiet Dead")
- Overview of similar street, with snow. ("The Unquiet Dead")
- CGI missile flying over the English Channel towards the White Cliffs of Dover. ("Aliens of London")
- Camera pulls back from chained-up Dalek. ("Dalek")
- Tunnel; fireball engulfs camera.
- Eccleston and Piper by the TARDIS console, re-used from earlier teasers. "Trip of a lifetime." reverbs.
- BBC program title card. Bottom of card comes to 3/4 mark on previous shot, "Doctor Who" in white text over. Voiceover starts, trailer footage fades to black, top of card comes down. Female announcer voiceover: "Doctor Who. Coming soon to Saturdays on BBC One."
