BBC releases new Doctor Who teasers for The Girl Who Waited

By Rick Marshall September 5, 2011

It’s only been 36 hours since the most recent episode of Doctor Who rolled credits, but we already have a new trailer and behind-the-scenes teaser for “The Girl Who Waited,” next weekend’s episode.

In the new episode, The Doctor is tasked with saving Amy Pond from a quarantine facility for victims of an alien plague. The only problem is that The Doctor can’t actually set foot in the facility himself, so it’s up to Rory to save his damsel in distress.

Of course, judging by what we see in the trailer, Amy might be able to handle herself just fine… at least, one of the versions of Amy can.

Confused? Yeah, we are, too — but we have good news and bad news.

On the good side, the new trailer is a nice teaser for the episode, which was penned by “Rise of the Cybermen” and “Age of Steel” writer Tom MacRae. The BBC has also released an interesting video that introduces the episode via interviews with MacRae and Amy Pond herself (Karen Gillan).

On the bade side, we’ll have to wait until September 10 to find out exactly what’s going on, and why Amy appears to be fighting robots in an Apple Store. (That is what it looks like, isn’t it?)

Doctor Who airs Saturday, 9PM ET on BBC America.

Doctor Who's Whomobile.

Newcomers to Doctor Who may not know about the famous time traveler’s Whomobile.

The futuristic (well, futuristic for the 1970s) automobile appeared in at least one episode of the legendary British sci-fi show. But it also made a guest appearance on a popular children’s TV show in 1973.

Life after a hit show: 10 TV actors who made it big after making it big

Making it big in the competitive world of television and streaming is incredibly difficult. A hit show doesn't come easy, and few projects are successful from the get-go. However, a precious few manage to capture the public's attention, launching their stars' careers and turning them into household names. Even so, every show has to end, and some actors find it difficult to move on after their hit show airs its last episode.

However, some actors are lucky enough to find another equally or even more successful project than their previous one. The Flight Attendant's Kaley Cuoco is the perfect proof, currently starring in not one but two hit shows after her 12-year stint on The Big Bang Theory. And just like her, many other actors found success after they had already made it big.
