I've been waiting for the trailer, and the premiere date (Sep. 19th!), for a long time, so I'm not gonna complain too much. It's a good trailer - not a great one. They probably don't want to reveal a whole lot of surprises, so it's just kind of quick and subdued.
Of course, the "old man" comment by the guest star in that last shot is meant to make the Internet go crazy. Is it Jenny, the Doctor's daughter? Or is it his granddaughter Susan? Maybe both answers are too obvious, and it's deliberate misdirection, but I'd be happy with either one being true.
So, anyway, good trailer if not a great one.
This trailer, however, for the Doctor's appearance in
LEGO Dimensions, is a lot more exciting, visually impressive, and just all-around entertaining!

Things that jump out at me:
--The Doctor interacting with Batman and Gandalf! Technically, it's their interpretations from
The LEGO Movie, but that was a terrific film, so I'm not complaining. Wyldstyle from that film is also here and in good form.
--At 0:52, you can see the Doctor riding alongside Scooby-Doo and Shaggy.
--Homer Simpson also makes an appearance, but I didn't catch the time on it.
--At 0:56, the Doctor is standing next to (gasp) Doc Brown! I've been desperate for a
Doctor Who/Back to the Future crossover this year (I was hoping Christopher Lloyd would show up in the Christmas special), but I figured there was little to no chance of it happening. But, hey, now we're getting something! And they probably recorded dialogue that's meant to go together. How awesome is that?
--You can play as any of the versions of the Doctor! Another article I read (linked below) explained that while only Capaldi created new dialogue, the other actors' dialogue was sampled so they could be included as well. Your TARDIS interior will also change based on which Doctor you're playing as.

Anyway, consider me very excited for this project!
(Edited to correct the date I put, and to mention Homer Simpson.)
