BBC One Christmas trails begin
Saturday, 2 December 2006 - Reported by Anthony Weight
BBC One has broadcast its first generic trailer for its forthcoming Christmas season drama programming, debuting the promotion before Saturday 2nd December's episode of current Doctor Who slot-filler Robin Hood. (Coincidentally, an episode written by Paul Cornell and directed by Graeme Harper).
The trail, which highlights many BBC One drama programmes to be shown over the festive season, includes clips ofDavid Tennant and Catherine Tate from the forthcoming Christmas special The Runaway Bride. Also seen from the episode are several Robot Santas, similar to those featured in last year's The Christmas Invasion, and a brief clip of the TARDIS hovering at speed along a motorway.
The trailer also features some clips of Billie Piper in the forthcoming Philip Pullman adaptation The Ruby in the Smoke.
Update (Chuck Foster):
A second, longer trailer has also been broadcast at various times during the following week;
this extended version also includes a fleeting glimpse of the unmasked Santas in black, plus more of the Bride and the TARDIS-chase along the motorway.
