As previously reported, the 2012 Christmas special guest stars Richard E. Grant and Tom Ward, and footage revealed so far indicates that it is set in the 19th/early 20th century.

Highlighting that this will be the first time that the Doctor and his new companion (Jenna-Louise Coleman) will be seen together, the trailer – which will air with the prequel on Friday, November 16th.
