[New post] Doctor Who - Curse of the Black Spot (prequel)

Doctor Who - Curse of the Black Spot (prequel)

Via http://tardisnewsroom.blogspot.com/:

The first teaser for the third episode of Doctor Who's Sixth Series takes to the high seas. Utilizing a literary reference to Robert Louis Stevenson's classic Treasure Island, the story will involve pirates, sirens and cutlass swinging courtesy of Amy Pond.

Official synopsis: The TARDIS is marooned onboard a 17th-century pirate ship whose crew is being attacked by a mysterious and beautiful sea creature, as the time-travelling drama continues.

Becalmed and beset by cabin fever, the pirates have numerous superstitious explanations for the Siren's appearance. The Doctor has other ideas but, as his theories are disproved and every plan of escape is thwarted, he must work to win the trust of the implacable Captain Avery and uncover the truth behind the pirates' supernatural fears – and he must work quickly, for some of his friends have already fallen under the Siren's spell…

The Doctor is played by Matt Smith, Captain Avery by Hugh Bonneville, Amy by Karen Gillan and Rory by Arthur Darvill.

Guest-starring Hugh Bonneville as Captain Avery, the adventure looks to be a rollicking tale combining traditional pirate motifs and fantastical elements, true to the look and feel of the revamped Who series.
