'Doctor Who's Day Roundup: A Pillar of Hope

Welcome to this week's Doctor Who's Day roundup, which is normally a friendly sift through the week's social media to find thrilling examples of Whovian creativity, news and other fun stuff.

This week is slightly different, as there has been what we can only describe as a deluge of astonishing things. A new Season 11 trailer, a new Sonic and a ton of interviews and appearances by the new Doctor Who cast at San Diego Comic-Con.

Here's how it started:

• A trailer for Season 11! It's here!
