The trailer for the new Dr Who special (which will air on Saturday 11th April) can be found here (thank you fluffyarmadillo.
In laterally related news, today's episode of Doctors was brilliant. Archie (practice nurse and environmental potential activist[1]) and his scouse mate Jerm (short for Jeremy) went on a beginners' climbing course, and were using the opportunity to chat up girls. Jerm's climbing partner turned out to be a bit of a frump, so when she asked him out he told her he was in love with Archie. He then persuaded Archie to pretend to be his gay lover...
Jerm: Will you pretend to be my gay lover?
Archie: No!
Jerm: Don't be homophobic!
Archie: You're not gay!
It all turned out well, of course, with Archie pulling his (very good-looking) girl (though in a moral twist she turned out to be using him for activist activities[2]), and Jerm falling for the girl he'd initially written off as boring. Their banter was the best bit. I so so so want them to keep Jerm (who has a fantastic and typically Liverpudlian combination of being unfortunate and quick-witted) as a regular character but I know they won't :(
[1] Long story.
[2] You try typing that without a typo. And this!
