You don’t have to wait until Sept. 19 to watch the ninth season of Doctor Who. It starts today, in abbreviated form, with a two-minute prologue from the BBC.
Doctor Who series 9 begins right now with this two-minute prologue
The Doctor’s a liar


It begins in medias res, which is how film students say “in the middle of things.” Think of the first Star Wars movie, which starts in the midst of a space battle. Or any Star Wars movie, really. Anyway, back in the Whoverse, the Doctor stands among rocks, tells some lies, gets called a liar and then … well, maybe it’s best to press play below to find out.
The long-running British science fiction drama returns to the BBC a week from tomorrow.
