BBC debuts new Doctor Who teasers for upcoming Night Terrors episode

Add as a preferred source on Google

Last weekend marked the big midseason premiere of Doctor Who, and now that The Doctor is back in action again, the BBC has released a new set of teasers for the next episode of the series.

Titled “Night Terrors,” the new episode looks to be yet another scary one, with creepy dolls and weird eyeballs popping up here and there in the preview. The episode was written by Mark Gatiss, who previously penned last season’s “Victory of the Daleks,” as well as the creepy Tenth Doctor episode “The Idiot’s Lantern” and the Ninth Doctor episode “The Unquiet Dead.”

Given all of that background, it’s pretty safe to assume “Night Terrors” will live up to its name.

Of the two new teasers released by BBC, the first is a straight-up preview of the episode, while the second is a portion of the behind-the-scenes Doctor Who Confidential segments that reveal some of what went into making the episode. In this particular segment, Doctor Who star Matt Smith ponders some of the frightening elements of “Night Terrors” and where it fits in the current season.

The best part is that each one of these shows manages to outdo its source material's reputation on the screen.

Apple TV's original catalog is full of hidden gems that never got the attention they deserved, and this weekend's picks prove it. From a true story about two Black entrepreneurs outsmarting a racist system, to Denzel Washington's chilling take on Shakespeare's most ambitious villain, to a scrappy Dublin family finding harmony through music, these three movies span very different genres.

Prime Video's home screen has looked the same for years, with rows of tiles that rarely matches what you actually want to watch. Amazon is betting AI can change that, and Jeff Bezos is personally driving the effort.

Bezos reportedly directed Prime Video head Mike Hopkins to overhaul the streaming service so AI sits front and center, according to Reuters. The project carries an internal codename, Lighthouse, and it's already reshaping how the app might work.
