official trailer!!!

also new console room: http://i.imgur.com/l1gozxa.jpg

[Phil]

Ooh that's exciting!! Did I see Gallifrey?!

[dbgtz]

Not a bad trailer :O Won't get my hopes up though after some of the poor episodes series have had recently...

[Chris]

Looks exciting! No shock that the Daleks are back!

[xxMATTGxx]

Aww yeah, Maisie Williams

[Tom]

Looks good! Not a huge fan of the new console based on that picture... I'm sure it'll look good, though!

[Shockwave.2CC]

Looks good.
Not a big fan of the person who plays 'The Doctor' at the moment though.

[Stephen]

i only watch for jenna coleman :¬:

[Nedster]

Something to look forward to in September now...

[peteyt]

Looking forward to it just hope it's written a bit better than series 8. Series 8 had some great stuff but there was a lot that didn't work. The fact that we are having no single episodes is interesting as hopefully it'll allow plots to be more fleshed out and not rushed

I thought there were a few single episodes? I know there are a lot of two parters but I don't think the entire series consists of them.

[Empired]

I really hope we have some single episodes. I wouldn't mind lots of two parters either as emily said but I can't stand it when moffat does things like whatever series it was with the Silence where everything links with everything and if you miss an episode you're screwed. Actually, you wouldn't be able to understand it that much even if you didn't miss an episode..

But yeah, single episodes are nice for a little bit of relief sometimes. And they're the perfect chance to slide a bit of comedy into the series too.

Found this

Details have so far emerged about 8 episodes, divided into 4 two-parters - though Moffat has noted that some of these dual episodes are "just linked" rather than adopting the traditional two-part format.

"It's not just two-parters - it's occasionally taking one strand and keeping it going," he explained. "There's two-parters where the episodes are quite different, two-parters that are quite traditional - just to change the rhythm of it."

I do really like the sound of this. I was a classic who fan before new who came and while classic who is a bit two slow for most of today's audience, I really miss the longer episodes. I just find we never get long enough with plots, locations and characters which leads to great concepts being rushed in the end. Asylum of the daleks comes to mind straight away. I wanted to see daleks across the series such as the special weapons dalek, having a part rather than just being basically a prop. I wanted to see the doctor explore the asylum and all its horrors. It really felt like it could have been a two parter.

Articles have had Moffat saying that he could also be lying. I wouldn't be surprised if it was a young Clara

It's also just been announced that class leaves this series

It's also just been announced that class leaves this series

ugh ik I heard :'(

[Red]

omg, please don't let river be the new companion. I can't even stomach the fact that she will be back for christmas.
the doctor playing pretty woman was the best thing ever.

[peteyt]

A really good episode. I'd heard about Davros returning ages ago in one of the papers but still a great episode. It felt like a finale rather than a two parter. I have a feeling this series is going to a lot bigger.

Also there's a rumour I've came across online although not sure what I think if this is true
Adult Davros before the accident looks like Capaldi

The only issue I had with the episode was the comedy elements - tank/guitar etc. I think Capaldi's doctor works well when the humour is a lot more deadpan, dark etc. as it fits while as the over the top stuff is more Matt Smith's style

Spoilers!!
Not quoting her, literally spoilers I didn't know this :(

I don't think that's true in all honesty, but we shall see. I didn't mind those elements when you consider why he was doing it.

A good episode for the most part.

I will be pissed if that's how Moffat resolves the face thing.

how can anyone like her, I will never now!!

Well she is deffo is back for christmas and the fb official page posted 'spoilers...' when someone asked about the new companion. I want a male or faye marsay.

[Phil]

I LOVE River but I don't want her to be a companion! Still haven't watched last nights episode so this thread was dangerous territory - oops!

[peteyt]

I don't mind river and it would be interesting to see capaldis doctor meeting river. Smiths doctor was a lot younger so having an older doctor might show a different type of relationship. I do however feel they've kind of messed river up.

[peteyt]

What did people think. Not my favourite but thought it was a great two parter. I like the format this series, a lot more space for story and character development

I've enjoyed all episodes so far.

[Kyle]

would prefer more history than character development

[dbgtz]

Would have preferred it if:
Davros didn't just go classical villain again with the whole regeneration and snakes thing and simply saw the sunset and died. I liked the idea of them showing Davros to not be evil as such, just him doing what he thought was right but perhaps I'm asking too much for a show which is aimed at kids/the family.

Next episode looks bad.

The problem with that is death never seems to final in doctor who. Assistants seem to apparently die regularly these days only to come back somehow.

I think if Clara is really truly leaving, we should have an actual death. I was slightly annoyed with Amy and Rory's death originally, due to the fact that they actually were alive and simply stuck in the past, the doctor apparently not able to go back. The reason was it felt like they left it open for a possible reunion which in turn ruins the original impact of their emotional episode (just look at Rose for an example). But my opinion has slightly changed - I think in some way the doctor could actually go back but it's the fact that he knows they are safe and going back could put them in danger and would be very selfish on his part. It reminds me of the apparently death of Donna - She's alive but it's far more complicated than that - all the changes she went through because of her adventures with the doctor, all her development ends up being forgotten.

That said I think we need a real death, something concrete. I also want the next assistant to be similar to Donna in the fact we see some changes, development. I'm not a Clara hater but I feel she's just there going through the motions. I think with her the thing that made her was her mystery, the impossible girl. Now that the mystery is solved, there just isn't much else

[sexpot]

that was def the best episode in the series so far for me.

[peteyt]

Classic base under seige episode

[peteyt]

Loved the doctor's speech in the zygon inversion

[-:Undertaker:-]

i still struggle to understand the attraction with doctor who but that new guy from skins is a much more bearable actor than the previous doctors of recent

[Alkaz]

I think it's always been a bit tongue in cheek, I've never really been a fan of it but I do always enjoy it if I do sit down and watch it!
