Soccer fans in the United Kingdom received an unexpected treat during Sunday night’s broadcast of the World Cup final: the first full-length trailer for the upcoming season of Doctor Who:

 

 

The footage is the first to feature the Twelfth Doctor, noted Scottish actor Peter Capaldi.

Capaldi is best known to American audiences as foul-mouthed, lovable political adviser (WARNING: the embedded link is in no way safe for work) Malcom Tucker in BBC comedy The Thick of It. He also starred in the show’s critically-lauded film spinoff, In the Loop.

As for the trailer itself: in addition to looking unusually dark (even by current Doctor Who standards), it promises a bevy of old standards and new mischief. Daleks, exploding TARDIS-es, and dinosaurs all make an appearance.

In other words, Doctor Who fans can expect an even broader exploration of both space and time.

BBC debuted the trailer just a few days after a security breach saw several new scripts leaked onto the internet.

More recently, unfinished footage from Capaldi’s first episode found its way online, via the BBC’s U.S. office.

That episode, entitled “Deep Breath,” kicks off the new season in UK and on BBC America on August 23rd.

ByLindsay

Teen Mom Farrah Abraham just doesn’t seem to have any luck when it comes to dating. Fans got to watch as her seemingly great relationship with former beau Daniel Alvarez fell apart on screen during their ill-fated trip to Texas in the final season of the show, and Farrah’s next relationship with Marcel Kaminstein, whom she met on JDate.com, ended less than a month after it began in late 2011. In June, Farrah began dating John Parra, a staffer on Ryan Seacrest’s morning show, but just two months into their relationship, they have apparently called it quits after he sent her a text message stating he didn’t want to talk to her any more.
