Trailers

The first trailer for Series 6 showed directly after the Christmas Special and showed reappearance of the Ood, a person in a space suit, evil dolls, characters from Nazi Germany, the Doctor wearing a Stetson, the interior of a craft resembling the timeship from "The Lodger", a scene with "A 51" on a wall, Suranne Jones' character of Idris, and several scenes filmed in Utah's Monument Valley and Valley of the Gods. In December 2010, BBC America began airing promotions for the new series featuring Smith, Gillan, Darvill, and Kingston, filmed in Monument Valley and announcing the US locations. A 15-second teaser trailer was shown on BBC One at 9pm, 22 March 2011. A 1-minute trailer was shown on BBC 1, on 30 March 2011 showing, among other scenes, River Song kissing the Doctor and the interior of the Ninth and Tenth Doctors' TARDIS. An alternative version of the trailer was also shown, with the scene of the TARDIS console exploding replaced with a close-up of a Silent.[11] A different 30-second trailer was shown on BBC America on the same day, with a full 60-second trailer being shown two days later.[12] Both these trailers show a scene with a group of three of the Silence from the alternative UK trailer.

The trailer for the second half of Series 6 premiered during the Comic-Con event for BBC America. Scenes include the reappearance of Winston Churchill, the return of Craig Owens from "The Lodger", an unidentified alien with a blue eye, an older version of Amy, Adolf Hitler and Nazi Germany, River Song wearing a similar patch as Madame Kovarian, the appearances of the Silence, Cybermen, Weeping Angels, evil dolls, white robots and the Gibbis which is to be seen in "The God Complex," a Viking, the TARDIS crashing through the Reichstag, and the revisit of the Doctor's death at Lake Silencio in Utah.[13] Another 40-second trailer was released on 4 August 2011 and features a pterodactyl, a pyramid with the images of an American flag and "Area 52", and the Doctor in a Stetson, telling the TARDIS, "One last trip, eh?"[14] A 30-second trailer from BBC America was released on 12 August 2011.[15] An alternative trailer from the 40-second trailer aired on CBBC on 16 August 2011 and included two new scenes.[16]

Prequels

On 25 March 2011, a short exclusive scene serving as a "prequel" for the first two episodes was released on the show's official website. The prequel depicts Richard Nixon (portrayed by Stuart Milligan) receiving a recorded phone call of a girl's voice while sitting in the Oval Office. The girl, whose voice the president appears to recognize from a previous call, begs him to "look behind you", warning him that there is something there. The president angrily refuses and tells the girl that "there are no monsters in the Oval Office." He hangs up; the camera then pans around him to show a blurred, but visibly alien, figure standing to the president's right wearing a black suit and tie.

The second prequel for the episode "The Curse of the Black Spot", shows a ship's captain writing in his log. His ship is in dead water with no wind. Exhaustion of fear will take over the crew, and every night 'she' keeps appearing. The captain believes that everyone on board will die.

On 28 May 2011, BBC released the third prequel for "A Good Man Goes to War." Dorium, talking to two Headless Monks, gives them the brain of a Judoon, which contains a security protocol the monks need. Dorium tells them that he knows what they are up to, as he hears a lot of rumours around the area. He asks them, "All this, to imprison one child? Oh, I know what you're up to, I hear everything in this place. I even hear rumours about whose child you've taken. Are you mad? You know the stories about the Doctor? The things that man has done? God help us if you make him angry!"

The prequel to "Let's Kill Hitler" was released on 15 August 2011.[17] Amy leaves a message for the Doctor on the TARDIS' answering phone, pleading for him to find Melody and bring her home, having trusted him to do so. The Doctor is then shown standing by the console, upset.

The final prequel to "The Wedding of River Song" was released after the airing of "Closing Time". The prequel shows Area 52, with a clock stuck at the time of the Doctor's death, Silence kept in stasis and River Song wearing an eye patch in the same fashion as Madame Kovarian.[18] As all of this is happening, there is a voice-over of the children, the same as that from "Night Terrors" and the conclusion of "Closing Time". They sing "Tick tock goes the clock" three times, and then "Doctor, brave and good, he turned away from violence. When he understood the falling of the silence."
