Doctor Who day is nearly upon us! As our anticipation reaches boiling point, 15 new images from “Asylum of the Daleks” have been released, while the psychotic cyborgs have taken over the show’s Twitter account!

The stills (which were released by ABC Australia) are largely the standard Doctor and Dalek action shots, but hidden among the familiarity is one shot in particular that had us scratching our heads and cursing Steven Moffat’s name in fist-shaking confusion. The image in question depicts a group of (apparent) humans standing ominously, seemingly in a trance. The young ballet dancer, three suited men and a woman appear to be in a trance of some kind.

Check out the images below!

Doctor Who 7×01 “Asylum of the Daleks”

“Kidnapped by his oldest foe, the Doctor is forced on an impossible mission – to a place even the Daleks are too terrified to enter… the Asylum. A planetary prison confining the most terrifying and insane of their kind, the Doctor and the Ponds must find an escape route. But with Amy and Rory’s relationship in meltdown, and an army of mad Daleks closing in, it is up to the Doctor to save their lives, as well as the Ponds’ marriage.”

“Asylum of the Daleks” premieres in the United Kingdom, United States and Canada tomorrow.

Over on Twitter, the BBC Doctor Who feed was overrun by Daleks in a hilarious and bizarre publicity stunt. After “implementing” their technology into the Internet, the fictional monsters ordered fans to retweet several messages about the show’s broadcast. The hijack was later blamed on “interference from Alaska” – we’ll let you make your own jokes. Check out a few of our favourite tweets…
