Doctor Who shares first-look clip for series 11 opener ‘The Woman Who Fell to Earth’
If you’ve watched all the trailers for the newest series of Doctor Who so much that the tapes have gone wobbly (half our audience just felt all warm and nostalgic, half just went blank), then we’ve got the thing for you.
The BBC has been kind enough to upload a clip from the first episode of series 11, ‘The Woman Who Fell to Earth’, so let’s dive right in.
In the short minute-long clip, we see new Doctor Jodie Whittaker suffering from the usual Time Lord post-regeneration weirdness, unaware that she is now a blonde-haired Northern lass and not a white-haired Scottish man with angry eyebrows.

We also get to see two of the new companions, Yasmin and Ryan, in action. Okay, walking down an abandoned(?) train isn’t really action, but you just know that danger can’t be far away.
Not only does the new series feature the first female incarnation of the beloved character, but it will be the first time since the 2005 revival that new episodes will premiere on a Sunday rather than a Saturday.
That’s a good thing, by the way.
Doctor Who: ‘The Woman Who Fell to Earth’ airs on Sunday, October 7 at 6.45pm on BBC One.
