Sure there have been Doctor Who conventions for years, all over the world, but last weekend was the first official Doctor Who convention, held in Cardiff where so much of the show is shot. There’s been a bit of news coming out of the con, watch for that in a separate post, but for now… Check out the season 7 trailer!

Wow, and we were only showing the still photos from that shoot in Italy a few weeks ago! Here’s the blurb that came along with it:

In the words of The Doctor: “Anachronistic electricity, keep-out signs, aggressive stares – has someone been peeking at my Christmas list?!”

The new season will see the last days of the Ponds, with Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill making their final rollercoaster voyage with The Doctor (Matt Smith). Amy (Karen Gillan) and Rory (Arthur Darvill) have been at the Doctor’s side for more than two seasons but what will he do after their heartbreaking departure?

New guest stars so far confirmed to star will include David Bradley, Rupert Graves and Mark Williams. Season 7 will then see a dramatic turn of events when The Doctor meets a new friend – the recently-announced new companion, played by Jenna-Louse Coleman. Prepare yourselves for thrills, adventures and dramatic surprises as the show builds towards its enormous, climactic 50th anniversary year.

Fourteen big, blockbuster-movie episodes – each a brand new epic adventure featuring new monsters and some familiar foes as you’ve never seen them before.

Here’s a great featurette about the convention:

SO MUCH FUN. Hopefully it will be an annual event. In the meantime, we have a Season 7 to wait for. Come on, autumn!

Doctor Who, starring Matt Smith, Karen Gillan, and Arthur Darvill, airs Season 7 beginning this fall on BBC America.
