It lasts just 10 seconds&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But heck, at least we get a glimpse of first Catherine Tate returning as Donna Noble, then David Tennant as the Fourteenth Doctor. The teaser looked a bit like a channel ident, but seemingly glitches, showing up a network error. Nonetheless, the opening shot, of a fly getting gulped up in a Venus flytrap, feels particularly ominous, hinting that the Doctor and Donna are dancing to someone else&#8217;s tune. (Who said, &#8220;the Celestial Toymaker&#8221;?)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The teaser first appeared on BBC1 last night (29th April 2023) after <em>The Weakest Link<\/em>. Don&#8217;t worry if you missed it because you can enjoy it right now&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\ud83d\udea8BREAKING &#8211; NEW <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/DoctorWho?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#DoctorWho<\/a> Teaser is appearing!!<br><br> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/5oNXOaVZax\">pic.twitter.com\/5oNXOaVZax<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Tardis Central (@Tardis_Central) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Tardis_Central\/status\/1652375261764042757?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 29, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Viewers have pointed out that, if you play it in reverse, you can hear Donna asking if <s>Paul McCartney is still alive<\/s> &#8220;why did this face come back?&#8221; We presume she&#8217;s talking about the Doctor &#8212; last time he had that face, Tennant was playing the Tenth Doctor; this time, he&#8217;s regenerated from Jodie Whittaker&#8217;s Thirteenth Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We also see a mysterious chap with glowing eyes; we might infer that he works for UNIT. But that&#8217;s a guess.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, everything&#8217;s a guess right now: we know a few bits and bobs about the 60th anniversary, but not a great deal just yet.
