Doctor Who fans have been given a sneak preview of what the first female Doctor will be getting up to in the new series.

The official trailer has been released giving fans a first proper look at Jodie Whittaker as the thirteenth Time Lord.

She's the first woman to play the part.

The characters are seen running away from explosions, encountering some unknown creatures and walking through a desert - but there are no storyline spoilers.
