Two New Preview Clips From 'Doctor Who: The Snowmen' Just In Time For Christmas!

We have two new sneak preview clips to enjoy before tomorrow night's annual Doctor Who Christmas Special makes its worldwide debut.

The Snowmen is the last new adventure in 2012 for the Doctor and marks the highly anticipated debut of Jenna Louise-Coleman as his new companion Clara in a Victorian-era timeline (which is a far cry from the surprise and baffling appearance she made as Oswin in Asylum of the Daleks set hundreds of years in the future).

In addition, there promises to be an updated title sequence and theme, as well a make-over for the TARDIS, which has sported a very earth toned and worn steampunk look for the past several years. The new aesthetic is a homage to the simpler look of control rooms of the past and reflects darker mood that is hinted to go along with the Doctor's state of mind heading into the second wave of Who's current season and 50th Anniversary.

Also be sure to check out the Doctor Who Adventure Calendar, which has been unlocking a new behind-the-scenes video for each day in December as the countdown to The Snowmen continues.




From BBC:
"Christmas Eve 1892, and the falling snow is the stuff of fairy-tales. When the fairy-tale becomes a nightmare and a chilling menace threatens Earth, an unorthodox young governess, Clara, calls on the Doctor for help. But the Doctor is in mourning, reclusive and determined not to engage in the problems of the universe. As old friends return, will the Doctor really abandon humankind or will he fight to save the world – and Christmas – from the icy clutches of this mysterious menace. 
This year’s Doctor Who Christmas Special, The Snowmen, introduces a new companion, a new look for the Doctor, plus a new monster in this movie-scale episode. Starring Matt Smith as the Doctor and introducing Jenna-Louise Coleman as new companion Clara, The Snowmen follows their adventures as they embark on a mission to save Christmas from the villainous Doctor Simeon (Richard E Grant, The Iron Lady, Dracula) and his army of icy snowmen."


Doctor Who: The Snowmen airs here on BBC America on Christmas Day at 9PM.
