I’m sure there are precedents for that. Time Tunnel for one. Possibly other Irwin Allen stuff.

i liked Quantum Leap’s relatively innovative method of setting up the next episode by showing you where Sam leaps next, effectively making every episode end on a cliffhanger (altho the drop turned out to be hardly seismic usually).

watching us drama on torrents (eg Lost) often comes without them (and the credits)

many dramas NOW have them integrated with the end credits. but a few years back they might occasionally show the regular trailer for next week’s ep straight after the credits, and a few years before that it would be unusual. i’m willing to be corrected on that.

many prestige dramas have them, it’s true, but they’re often a bit perfunctory — a flash of scenes during the closing credits

what’s diff abt the dr who ones is that they’re upfront, punchy, quite long, stand-alone and — above all — NEW TO DR WHO (which stopped broadcast before in an era when “next time” trailers were unheard of)

Are “Next time on….” trailers uncommon in England? Almost every American show does them, and I assumed it was just done for all television.

I myself would love to re-generate old Chart Show ‘Amiga’ graphics and superimpose them over the top of various music videos halfway thru.

Hooray for BBC creative commons!

(Not that I imagine it has been done under these auspices). I for one hope to re-dub the new Robin Hood with high pitched French voices, to give them one back for the Flashing Blade).

oh this is a wonderful idea! altho it’s still a bit disappointing when the editing is not as slick or sound as what you see with the new series. the Fenric one is pretty good tho.
