“… even if it kills me.”

Fans of the decades long franchise must be emotionally gearing up to say goodbye to the latest iteration of the Doctor, because we all know that Peter Capaldi has already announced that this would be his last season in the time-and-space-travelling phone-box.

This first look at the new season shows Capaldi joined by Matt Lucas and new companion Pearl Mackie running down an exploding library, before facing a wall of ghosts which looks populated by famous Who villains like the Daleks, Cybermen and Weeping Angels.

Some fans are even seeing a familar face in the cloud, with a previous Doctor Who visible in the ether.

Its tough to know what to make of all of this, but it will become clearly once the new season kicks off on BBC on 15 April.
