Trailer for Doctor Who series seven makes its online debut!

An action-packed cowboy-themed trailer for the upcoming seventh series of Doctor Who has hit the web following its exclusive release at last weekend’s Doctor Who convention in Cardiff and it looks great! The trailer plays out like an old-school country western, jam-packed with cowboys, aliens, and… cowboy aliens? The Doctor is on hand to participate in gun fights and run from explosions, while the Ponds are on hand as revolver-wielding sidekicks.

And is that a Dalek eye stalk?!

Most of the trailer appears to show only one episode, although several brief scenes could be part of a second episode in the series. Check out the trailer:

This season is going to be one of waiting, with only six episodes airing in 2012 — five regular episodes (the fifth of which will see the departure of the Ponds) and a Christmas special. Doctor Who series seven will return in 2013 for eight more episodes. The Doctor’s new companion will be introduced in the Christmas episode, just in time to join the Doctor’s second-half-of-series-seven adventures!
