These new 20 seconds of footage reveal explosions and electric currents running through the Tardis, electrocuting the Doctor and exposing his two beating hearts, while over the top an ominous and rather familiar voice says, "I see into your soul Doctor. I see beauty, divinity, hatred."

Could that be Davros, the Doctor's old archenemy and creator of the Daleks, we hear...?
