At the end of the last season of “Doctor Who,” Clara Oswald (Jenna Coleman) made her final appearance as the companion to the twelfth incarnation of the time-traveling humanoid alien Doctor Who, played by Peter Capaldi. In the upcoming season of the British sci-fi series, the Doctor is joined by a brand-new companion Bill Potts (Pearl Mackie). Watch a first-look trailer below featuring the excitable Potts narrating her experiences and adventures with the Doctor.
“Doctor Who” first aired on the BBC in November, 1963, and in the past half-century has become a significant part of British culture as well an object of cult fascination around the globe. In 1989, the original run of the series came to a close. The series’ revival, original executive produced by Russell T Davies, Julie Gardner and Mal Young, premiered in 2005. Since the revival, there have been four incarnations of the Doctor, played by Christopher Eccleston, David Tennant, Matt Smith and finally, Capaldi.
