That first trailer clip. Ive never seen it before!

They showed it sometime after the christmas invasion to tease Tennants doc.

The best one was the Series Four trailer with Wilf and Donna. A beautiful little trailer.

Everything's just spot on - Tate and Cribbins acting their socks off, the setting, the fabulously dramatic music and that last montage of companions gives me the goosebumps even now!

That one was amazing when it was at its peak wirh Tennant!

I wouldn't say cringe at all. I look at those trailers above and they remind me of good times with the show. Also I think the trailers themselves hold up pretty well.

No I didn't mean for you to take it seriously I meant its like weird looking back, believe me Im a fanboy of them trailers and them eras. And I meant the cheesey Effects like in that series 2 trailer when he stands up.

Btw, I think Series 1 is my favourite 😍

It is strange to look at the distinctively different Time of Eccleston, Tennant, Smith, and now Capaldi, in relation to how in has all followed on and been part of the same continuing story following the same character.

I always liked the series 4 Journeys End Trailer, it gives me the chills even now.

For some reason I love the series 1 trailer I cant stop repeating it The Ninth Doctor was just like a regular broken bloke :P

I loved the series 4 trailer. So much nostalgia.

The Tenth Doctor needed Donna ans Donna needed The Tenth Doctor...

Series 1-4 trailers...brilliant. They had a lot of impact to draw casual viewers in.

Cringe? Absolutely not, if anything the soothing of nostalgia comes to me.

I am however still waiting for an entire 2 hour movie to happen based on the Series One trailer with #9 running from that fireball.

Seeing Amy again was good!

they made some effort on the trailers back in the early days of the reboot,for this current series they just chucked it together (why would you include the phrase "Same old Same old" in something that you want to encourage new viewers? )

They might be somewhat cheesy but I love the Eccleston one as well as the first one for series 5.

They look so cheap now lol

I disagree, in fact I think the opposite as many of them have aspects outside of just editing a series' set of clips together.
They're no cheaper looking than Doctor #12 sitting atop of the TARDIS.

The only bad one...and its bloody terrible...is the Season 3 one. Putting aside Martha's inability to threaten a shoelace in the charisma stakes because well we are all used to that by now...but dear god just look how insufferably smug Tennant plays it! An absolute swaggering c*** of a man that any sane individual would run 100 miles from if he invited you into his big blue box. Contrast that to the more restrained and mysterious S2 promo Ten.

Ans he wasnt even that smug in S3! But that trailer. Urgghh.

I think they really started to up their game up a bit with the Series 3 Part 2 trailer. It was only a 'next time' kind of trailer so not overly flashy but it teased very well. My only problem is that to make things more dramatic they 'deepened' Timothy's voice at the end - admittedly Thomas Brodie Sangster's voice was breaking at the time (as you can hear in Human Nature/The Family of Blood) but it was a little jarring.

Series 4 definitely had the best trailers... a great balance of cinematic and teasing without being overly revealing. The first trailer was my favourite, though again they did a great job for Series 4 Part 2. Then it hit a bit of a peak with The Stolen Earth trailer which was very good, and then the Journey's End one which was even better - I recall my family spotting these and it remains one of only two times they've ever shown an interest in Doctor Who.

The End of Time trailers for Part One still make me wonder how a trailer can be so good for something so awful. It's still somewhat depressing to think about now.

I quite like the Series 5 trailer, apart from the ridiculous 'end is only the beginning' tagline.

And I really love the trailer for A Christmas Carol, which used some of my favourite Series 5 music again... the episode was good in the end too.

The Series 6 trailer was the only other one that ever got my family interested in the show. In reflection it made the bad stuff from the series look much more impressive than it was, but the good stuff in Series 6 lived up to it.

I thought the Series 7 trailer for Part 1 was awful, but then the series itself is also my least favourite. The one for Part 2 was far better, but the fan version* that has come out since is hilariously better in a way that means I'll never take that whole thing seriously again

*obscene language

The trailers for Series 8 and Series 9 have been fine... amazingly cinematic, especially the latter. They do a good job at teasing the series...I'd say that they have mostly lived up to what they've shown as well, though agree that "same old, same old" is not the kind of thing that makes for good marketing.

They do seem very dated.
But then most things do when they try too hard to look contemporary, and end up looking very much of their time when other things seem timeless.
I'm sure that at the time people will have thought they were 'cool' and 'amazing' but now they do appear very quaint.

I think the one with Matt Smith and Amy where they are lying on the grass and are then traveling through a vortex looks very good as a trailer even now though.
