BBC America released an entirely different trailer for the new Doctor Who series, and I'm a little late showing it:
Now, what can we learn about this? What does BBC America think Americans actually like? (Because why else do a different trailer?)
1. Being told that they might want to watch the show because it is a "phenomenon" and apparently popular with certain people who have "credibility".
2. Compliments about their powerful country and its powerful capital.
3. Mark Sheppard. He's a "name" British actor working in U.S. genre television Fans of Firefly, Dollhouse, Battlestar Galactica, Warehouse 13 and Supernatural will be especially appreciative.
4. More pirates. Those yanks love that Pirates of the Caribbean twaddle.
5. Catch phrases.
Now I wanna see a Canadian trailer with maple syrup.
