Doctor Who fans can get excited, as BBC One has just released a minute long trailer for season 11.
The thirteenth Doctor will make a comeback to our screens very soon, as the broadcaster also revealed the show will return on Sunday, 7th October.
And it looks like the show will live up to all expectations, as the trailer is explosively dramatic and then some.

Announcing the trailer's arrival to fans on Twitter, the BBC wrote: "The official trailer is here! "I'm the Doctor, when people need help, I never refuse." #DoctorWho."
Jodie Whittaker will be reprising her role as the Doctor in the 2018 series. "I'm just a traveller," she can be heard saying in the trailer. "Sometimes I see things need fixing, and I do what I can."
While there is no tardis in the footage, we do get to see the new sonic screwdriver as well as alien planets, and get glimpses of outer-space.
Broadchurch star Jodie will be joined by Sharon D Clarke, Johnny Dixon and Samuel Oatley in the first episode - 'The Woman Who Fell To Earth' - written by Chris Chibnall and directed by Jamie Childs.

One of the central themes of the sci-fi series is that the Time Lord can regenerate, which has allowed multiple actors to take on the role in past years, but Jodie is the first female Doctor on the series, signing up in 2017.
Speaking to Variety earlier this week, Jodie said the change has been a long time coming for Doctor Who.
"It's not as [scary] as everyone maybe imagined when they took the hood down and it was a girl," she explained. "It's 2018. Women are not a genre. We are just the other half of the population, so to see us doing things should not be such a surprise."
And will she be paid less than the male Doctors who have come before her?
"I absolutely know I am not being paid less than any other Doctor," said Jodie. This show is not the show that's going to do that and have that revelation be the sidebar."
