Doctor Who classic companions Tegan and Nyssa reunite in emotional new clip
The clip sees an emotional on-screen reunion for Janet Fielding and Sarah Sutton's companions.
After making her return to Doctor Who in last year's special The Power of the Doctor, Tegan is back once again in a new clip, and while last time she was seen palling around with Ace, this time there's another companion reunion on the cards.
In the short clip, titled The Passenger and written by Pete McTighe as part of the trailer for the season 20 Blu-ray release, Tegan is seen getting a mysterious text saying "Blue Box" and telling her to come to the fairground.
Once there, she discovers who it was that sent the text, waiting for her, to which she exclaims: "That's impossible!"
It's Nyssa! The pair embrace and Nyssa reveals that she was looking for Tegan, having "hitched a ride" in the TARDIS from Terminus, where the pair last saw one another.

However, at the end of the clip, an ominous cracking can be heard, with the Mara attempting to break out of the mirror...
Writer of the short clip, McTighe, has previously written episodes of the long-running sci-fi series for the Thirteenth Doctor, Kerblam! and Praxeus.
