Doctor Who Series 11: 8 Ups & 2 Downs From 'The Woman Who Fell To Earth'

5. The Trailers Tell Us Nothing

So when all was said and done and The Doctor and co were stuck in space, the ‘Coming Soon’ at the end of the episode showing off the guest stars was excellent, and something different to what we’ve seen before.

Guest stars on Who don’t normally get a massive fanfare, unless you’re Maisie Williams. Plus, the further trailer showing us more of the series told us absolutely nothing, which is brilliant. Leave us in the dark. The number of surprises spoiled by trailers or blunt announcements is far too many. John Simm in the series 10 finale, would we have ever seen that coming? There's something to be said for showing less rather than more, and the Coming Soon tag nailed it.
