The Daily Telegraph reports that the organisation has received 5,583 complaints about the animated Graham Norton which popped up on screen advertising the next show Over The Rainbow.
Charlie Brooker and Ashes To Ashes writer Matthew Graham have also criticised the use of the trail.
The BBC previously apologised for the "timing" of the advert but has now said: "The Over The Rainbow trail in Doctor Who should not have been played out on Saturday and we apologise to all Doctor Who fans whose enjoyment of the show was disrupted.
"We recognise the strength of feeling that has been expressed and are taking steps to ensure that this mistake will not happen again."
Doctor Who continues on Saturday at 6.25pm on BBC One.
