Another good-looking shot here. This trailer is full of them, and we're super relieved that the cinematography seems to be moving away from those annoying micro-close-ups that plagued Whittaker's first two series. Touch wood.

Anyway, back to the above shot. In one of the least-surprising outcomes in television history, it looks like the Sontarans are going to absolutely wipe the floor with those human soldiers they charge into battle against. I mean, those corpses in the mud don't exactly scream "Glory To Britannia!" do they?

The framing of the TARDIS as this glowing beacon in a field of death is also rather beautiful, we must say.

Danny has been with WhatCulture for almost nine years, and is currently Doctor Who Editor and WhoCulture Channel Manager, overseeing all of WhatCulture's Whoniverse coverage. He has been writing and video editing for 10+ years, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers and uploading them to YouTube (they're admittedly a bit rusty by today's standards). If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order or to tell you about the making of 1988's Remembrance of the Daleks, Danny is the person to ask.
