The BBC has released the first promotional artwork for this year’s Doctor Who Christmas special.

Titled ‘The Time Of The Doctor’, the episode airs on Wednesday 25 December on BBC One and sees the Time Lord and Clara learn what an enigmatic signal means for his own fate and that of the universe.

Here are 7 of our thoughts on the new poster:

The Time of the Doctor is… midnight? It looks like the Eleventh Hour is almost over…

We think ‘Silent Night’ would’ve made a better episode title…

The Doctor has a rather fancy new bow tie…

And he’s not the only one who thinks bow ties are cool…

This Cyberman has had a pretty rough Christmas eve…

Don’t blink…

We’re really going to miss this guy…

Update: Not 7 things we’ve learnt… THIRTEEN! (Well, Twelve – we think. Or 8 technically, but you know what we mean.)
