Timey-Wimey Tuesday: The Doctor… with a beard!

Beginning today and continuing every Tuesday until the start of the new series, we’ll be posting a Series 6 related image which you can discuss and dissect to your heart’s content!

Kicking off the proceedings is this screenshot from the trailer. We all know that life in the TARDIS can be a hair-raising occasion at times, but it looks like the Doctor will be taking that to new lengths in Series 6. Perhaps more importantly, however, what on earth is he doing in chains!?

Who, or what, is keeping the Doctor prisoner, and what are they keeping him for? Maybe he’s been captured for his alien knowledge, or has he been up to no good? Leave your thoughts and speculation (or just share your love for the beard!) in the comments…

    It looks like he’s wearing a straitjacket.

    He reminds me of Sirius Black. Is their someone in the far right of the picture? It could just be his guard. And who or what is he looking at with that expression? It kind of looks like the sort of look he’d give River.

    To bad Eccleston not the doctor any more. to my understanding give him a day or two and that beard would be real.

    It looks like he’s in some type of military base… I wonder what he did this time, I thought the doctor had been in every prison/holding unit already.

    @Rose Weasley
    Reminds me of Jesus!
    Yeh it is a very ‘River’ look, that sort of half smirk, half ‘Oh no it’s you!’. One step ahead

    I think the bad guy is River, it just sounds like the person. Saying she killed a good man and on her army uniform she has the sign of omega on it so omega might return Idk but thats a complete guess soz if I get it wrong oh btw the beard isn’t real Matt Smith didn’t have enough time to grow one, I think its glued on but I know it isn’t real ;)

    I’m guessing it’s something to do with clones and that isn’t the “real” Doctor

    I think it might be Area 51, in which the Doctor has been taken in due to being an alien – so it’s the US, in other words. And the whole River killing the best man she ever knew isn’t going to happen – Moffat is far cleverer than to give us a massive clue that River Song will kill the Doctor

    I think Moffat will have a bigger twist for River…. something doesnt seem right about her killing the doctor and the fact that RTD put into SJA about his regenerations and how many times he can… well at least we know that the doctor can grow a beard if he wants to :D
