Doctor Who Christmas Special 2013 Unveils Extended Matt Smith Trailer, Peter Capaldi Teaser: Orla Brady Talks Playing A Galactic Nun On The Time Of The Doctor

As the "Doctor Who" Christmas Special 2013 looms ever closer, Whovians can get a taste of the Matt Smith swan song with a new extended trailer.

In the new trailer, we get a closer look at the "Doctor Who" Christmas Special 2013 featuring Matt Smith, Jenna Coleman, and Peter Capaldi.

Interestingly enough, we don't get a glimpse of Peter Capaldi, as the "Doctor Who" Christmas Special 2013 extended trailer focuses exclusively on the departure of Matt Smith.

That is not to say, however, that Peter Capaldi will have no impact before the "Doctor Who" Christmas Special 2013.
Check out this brief (very brief) teaser for the Christmas Special featuring Peter Capaldi. Well, at least his eyes.

And as fans prepare themselves to say goodbye to Matt Smith and say hello to Peter Capaldi, actress Orla Brady recently sat down to talk to Flicks and the City regarding her role in the "Doctor Who" Christmas Special 2013.

“I do play a galactic nun. Tasha Lem is somebody who is from the Doctor’s past. She’s an old friend of his and in this episode he comes to her for help," said Brady. “We have not met Tasha before, but we’ve met her forces. We’ve met the troops of the Papal Mainframe in a former episode and this is the big boss. She’s the Mother Superious of the Papal Mainframe."

“She’s extraordinarily powerful. So she’s like the head of the Galactic UN. She’s a peacekeeping force but they’ve got more firepower and more willingness to use it than the Earthly UN. They are a scary outfit if you are on the wrong side of them, but I think the Doctor has to feel that she will help them, and indeed she will, because she’s an old friend of his.”

“Obviously the Silence is part, or become part, of the Papal Mainframe, so I did have scenes where Silence was present and they have a certain allegiance to me.”
