What We Know

This special will see the return of the Cybermen (of the design of the parallel universe's Cybus Industries Cybermen), following their previous appearance in the two-part finale of series two in 2006, "Army of Ghosts"/"Doomsday". It will feature a new type of Cyberman called Cybershade. An extended trailer premiered at Comic-Con International: San Diego 2008. This Comic-Con trailer was also unveiled on the official Doctor Who website on 1 November, 2008. The first two minutes of the episode were exclusively broadcast for the Children in Need evening on 14 November 2008.[18] The Doctor was shown arriving in a Christmas market, 1851, and rushing towards a woman, Rosita, screaming for the Doctor - however, she fails to recognise him and acknowledges David Morrissey's character as the Doctor. This Doctor references the TARDIS, the sonic screwdriver and being a Time Lord, before both Doctors point their sonic screwdrivers at a Cybershade and say in unison, "Allons-y!"
