Can You Find All The Doctors? New Doctor Who 50th Anniversary Trailer Released!

Yesterday, the BBC released a new trailer for the Doctor Who 50th Anniversary special. The trailer clocks in at 1:01 and features each of the eleven doctors–if you can spot them. It’s a little bit like Where’s Waldo–but not to worry, we scoured the video for you so you don’t have to.

1st Doctor (William Hartnell): 10 seconds in. And, for the first time ever, in living color. We may tire this phrase out by the end of this article, but oh-my-God-super-awesome.

2nd Doctor (Patrick Troughton): 17 seconds in (yes, the BBC let us wallow in the glory of Mr. Hartnell in color for a good, long time); he’s in silhouette, in the back of a tunnel

4th Doctor (Tom Baker): 17 seconds in. Yes, out of order. Baker floats, surrounded by his scarf–and his jelly babies

A break, where we see Sarah Jane (Elisabeth Sladen) holding on orb, with the:

3rd Doctor (Jon Pertwee): 23 seconds, in the Tardis. Looks like he’s lecturing someone.

Pull back, it’s Clara (Jenna-Louise Coleman) holding the orb as we rush towards an alien landscape.

5th, 6th, 7th Doctors (Peter Davison, Colin Baker, Sylvester McCoy): 37 seconds. You’ll have to pause the video to catch them all, but here they are (in foreground to background order):

7th Doctor: just his hat, as he his leaping, headfirst, towards the camera

5th Doctor: in profile, reaching for something

6th Doctor: back to camera, walking away from 5th and 7th and towards the:

9th Doctor (Christopher Eccleston): 37 seconds to 39 seconds; while he is in the frame you also see four other doctors, 5th, 6th, 7th and:

8th Doctor (Paul McGann): 39 seconds, look to the left of the screen as the camera is about to pass the 9th Doctor, he’s just there

10th Doctor (David Tennant): visible in the background from 37 seconds, the 10th Doctor comes to the foreground at 41 seconds

11th Doctor (Matt Smith): 43 seconds to end.

Unfortunately, no John Hurt or Peter Capaldi (which makes sense when viewed as a trailer to the Doctor’s legacy but still…)

If you look in the frames around each doctor, you’ll see iconic images from both the series and that Doctor’s particular time. The trailer has got more symbolism than a Bosch painting.

The BBC said “This special trailer is set to show all of the Doctors as they first appeared on screen.” It is meant to be a homage to the legacy of each of the Doctors–and as such, there’s no new footage from the upcoming special–but it certainly amps up expectation.

“The Day of the Doctor,” the Doctor Who 50th Anniversary special, is set to air in simulcast on November 23, 2013 (still no air time as of today) on BBC America here in the States, and will be followed by the Christmas Special later in the year.
