So what do we know about the new season of Doctor Who? To get a good grasp on this question, let's take a look at the stunning and exciting extended trailer for "Deep Breath" right here:

As you can see, we're obviously in for a great new adventure, but how will the new Doctor compare to Matt Smith's 11th Doctor or even David Tenant's 10th?

From the looks of the trailer, 12 seems to be going through an adjustment/resting period much like 10. Perhaps it was because of what it took for 11 to regenerate?

Will we be seeing the charm of 10, the cheerfulness of 11, or maybe even the anger of 9? From what we've heard from Steven Moffat, 12 is a completely different Doctor, with influences stemming from the original series' characters.
