The trailer for Peter Capaldi’s final episode of Doctor Who dropped at San Diego Comic Con over the weekend, during an emotional panel that served as an unofficial farewell for the man who’s served as the Twelfth Doctor for the past three seasons.

The 2017 Christmas special will be called “Twice Upon a Time” and looks like it will be a rather memorable send off. It will feature the introduction of David Bradley as the First Doctor, originally played by the late, great William Hartnell.  Bradley’s casting is pretty much note-perfect, honestly. He not only bears more than a passing resemblance to the former Who star, he already played Hartnell in 50th anniversary one-off biopic An Adventure in Time and Space, which told the story of the creation of the show.

Don’t believe me? Watch the trailer for yourselves, in which footage of Hartnell’s time in the TARDIS is slowly morphed into footage of Bradley from this year’s Christmas special. It looks incredible.
