Doctor Who: 9 Major Questions From The Series 9 Trailer

2. What Is Astonishing?

Over the first half of the trailer is a monologue from Peter Capaldi, sounding rather ominous as he describes something that is €œimpossible€evil€astonishing.€ He wants to €œkiss it to death.€

It all sounds as though it€™s the discovery of something new, presumably a monster but it could also be a whole race or even a planet, and one that is as incredible as it is threatening. Will this be referring to one of the new species that we see in the trailer, or is it going to be something deliberately left unseen?

The Doctor has travelled through time and space, seen almost all there is to see, yet he admits this surprises him. With his experience, what is there that could astonish The Doctor?
