5. Family of Blood
In a similar way to the Doctor's death in 'Turn Left', this trailer was made intriguing by suggesting that the Doctor might in some capacity not be around by the end of it. Despite there being no real chance that the Doctor would stay as his human counterpart John Smith, this trailer teases us with various clips of him and Joan Redfern getting married and having a future together, which presumably means the Doctor can no longer exist. It's interesting in that it doesn't really present us with any major scenes from the next episode, what it really does is presents us with the two women in the Doctor/John Smith's life, and hints at the loses each will have to face if the man they know isn't the one who is chosen. And damn, that description of the Doctor at the end 'He's like fire and ice and rage. He's like the night, and the storm in the heart of the sun. He's ancient and forever. He burns at the center of time and he can see the turn of the universe'.
