The 90-second audio clip features Whittaker as the Thirteenth Doctor, warning listeners that an "end-of-the-world type danger" is coming to Earth and appears to be erasing herself and all her companions.

"Can you hear me? Planet Earth – is this getting through? Something is coming. Something is coming for you. My name is the Doctor," she says. "You might not remember me but I remember you. I need you to listen to me. You're in danger."

The Doctor continues: "Normally I'd drop right in to help you with that but something's stopping me from getting through. I don't know much yet, I'm still figuring it out, but you're forgetting me. You're forgetting us – me and my friends, and everyone who's ever helped me. It's like they're disappearing.

"No, worse than that. They're being erased from existence. Redacted from reality and if you're listening to this and know who I am, then it's coming for you too so please listen.

"I know it's weird, I know it's scary, I know it seems impossible but sometimes you have to step up and do the weird, scary, impossible thing because someone has to. Remember me. Remember the Doctor."

You can listen to the full trailer on the BBC Sounds website.

The 10-part series follows Cleo (Charlie Craggs), Abby (The One's Lois Chimimba) and Shawna (Grange Hill's Holly Quin-Ankrah) – three best friends making a conspiracy podcast together who stumble upon The Doctor's TARDIS.
