The new trailer was released in the evening of Saturday, April 2, and within hours, thousands of fans commented on social media about it and shared their theories about what was in store for the TV special.

“Swashbuckle your seatbelts 17.04.22.”
With the show just days away from airing, spectators seem to be impressed by the short video.

Jack Thursby remarked: “It looks embarrassingly bad… and that’s just the trailer.”
The special’s synopsis states: “In a swashbuckling special adventure, the Doctor (Jodie Whittaker), Yaz (Mandip Gill) and Dan (John Bishop) come face to fin with one of the Doctor’s oldest adversaries: the Sea Devils.
