Allons-y!

Hi everyone!
I should really have talked about this yesterday, but I was too busy waxing lyrical about that brilliant gig on Friday. Anyway, as I'm sure half the world must know by now, the first two minutes of The Next Doctor were previewed on Children in Need on Friday. And there are two main questions:
Uno. What is the bizarre Cyberman-ape mutant thing which comes out of the sewers? It strikes me as being some kind of Frankenstein-esque experiment gone wrong (Sound familiar? Evolution Of The Daleks, anyone?), an attempt by monkeys and/or yetis to take over the world, or Cybermen modelling the new winter range from Matalan (a.k.a a lot of dark fur and not much else). Or, if my lucky guess is right, it could JUST be the umbrella lady collaborating with Cybermen released from the Void due to the breakdown in dimensional barriers at the end of the last series to rebuild their army using schematics salvaged from...somewhere...Yeah, haven't really thought that far ahead. But who knows, it might be.
Dos. Just WHO IS "The Doctor"? Is he the Doctor, from the future, coming back to meet his past self which he's forgotten? Is he a fourth, slightly different Doctor created from the meta-thingy and spat randomly out in time and space? Or, impossible though it may seem, is he just the Doctor's biggest fan? I mean, wherever the Doctor goes, he's bound to get noticed, just look at Torchwood, for instance. Maybe the pseudo-Doctor is someone who met real-Doctor when he was little, and grew up to be like him. Notice we never properly see the "Sonic Screwdriver", so it might just be a fake prop. One way or another, he can't be a real Time Lord or he'd have recognised the real-Doctor when they met. Hmm...answers can't come soon enough...
Tres. I know I said there were two questions, I've just thought of a third and can't be bothered to go back and correct what I wrote before. Anyway, considering he's just witnessed genocide, almost had his TARDIS destroyed, come face-to-face with Davros, said goodbye to Rose again, and had to memory-wipe his best friend, not to mention unleash a Graske upon the Proms, the Doctor seems incredibly happy, doesn't he? Does this mean some time has passed since Journey's End, or maybe the Doctor just doesn't care about what happened before. That, or it's an alternate reality where none of that happened...STOP! Too complicated. maybe the writers were just being lazy. Besides, the sight of a Christmas like that would be enough to bring a smile to anyone's face.
I'm not sure yet whether this will push the boundaries laid by Voyage Of The Damned or stay within a similar box to The Unquiet Dead, but one thing is for sure, Christmas is definitely coming!
