Doctor Who fans think series 13 premiere will be soon as teaser trailer aired ahead of The One Show

A Doctor Who teaser - and it really was a teaser - just aired on BBC One ahead of The One Show.

The mini-trailer played out like TV interference with Jodie Whittaker coming in and out of focus and saying 'Can you hear me?"

It's been trailed this week and fans are still waiting for news of a full trailer and a start date of the new series.

The thirteenth series is due to air this year and will be the final for Whittaker and showrunner Chris Chibnall.

Filming took place, today, in Cardiff near The Gate Arts Centre in Roath, with fans and passers-by sharing their photos across social media. Vans and lighting cranes were spotted outside the arts centre. You can read more on that, here.

On Twitter fans were keen for more, one users wrote: "Come on @bbcdoctorwho where is Gitch S13 teaser Trailer I am Waiting I am watching BBC One until 10pm I am not giving up I WILL NEVER GIVE UP."

And another pointed out that one fact in particular means we could have news soon, William Who wrote earlier today: "The Doctor Who Teaser has apparently just aired for the 11th time 2 more and we are at Number 13..."

It was confirmed last month that Swansea-born writer Russell T Davies would return to the series as showrunner, a decade after he first stepped down from the role.

"I'm beyond excited to be back on my favourite show," said the It's A Sin writer, who will resume his role as the show prepares to mark its 60th anniversary in 2023.

As he returns as showrunner, one of Russell's first jobs will be to decide who will take over as the next Doctor following Jodie Whittaker's exit.
