The shoulder and collar of her red sweater were covered in mud, indicating she'd been in some sort of struggle.
One of her co-stars was dressed as a knight in chainmail and heavy-duty armour, suggesting she had returned to a bygone era.
The doctor's assistant looked lost and alone as she made her way through the undergrowth, possibly being stalked by a dangerous enemy.

The theatre actress - best known for her role in The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time - was announced as the Doctor's new sidekick during the FA Cup semi-final match, with a special teaser trailer showing her and the Time Lord facing off against a Dalek.
She certainly has a fan in her co-star Peter, who said: 'It is a genuine delight to welcome Pearl Mackie to Doctor Who.
'A fine, fine actress with a wonderful zest and charm, she's a refreshing addition to the TARDIS and will bring a universe of exciting new possibilities to The Doctor's adventures.'
Doctor Who series 10 will air next Spring, with filming expected to finish on March 31.
