August 23rd,is the date for me to see the Doctor.
It is on the Space Channel in Canada.Whoo Hooo.
Can't wait.

Fan made opening sequence inspires the real credits - a fan place his own idea of a Doctor Who season opening credits sequence on Youtube and Steven Moffat liked it so much he hired the guy to make the real thing.

Starting Monday morning it is non stop Doctor Who programs starting with the first doctor.. second doctor....... continual programming until the new show... how cool is this!

We don't have long to wait now.

It's a big weekend for me - Outlander and Doctor Who premieres. I'm going to give Outlander a chance. I read the first 4 books before they got too Harlequin Romance for me.

Colprt,

I have not read the books but I did enjoy the first two episodes of Outlander.

Thanks, Space Quest Fan. I value your opinion.

Well I watched Dr Who {Season 8 Episode 1} last night and I love the new Dr.
Peter doe's a wonderful job. Looking forward to the next episode.

Loved it! Like the new clothes. Gentleman Dr. Who. He speaks Dinosaur? Wow! I still hoping they continue to cater to the adult audience as they did at the end of the last Dr. He started out more like a kid's show and I almost stopped watching, but he 'matured'. Looks like this one will be more for me.

I just watched the new Dr. Who.....I must say I was not disappointed ... :-)

Just finished the premiere. I got worked up for it by rewatching the Day and Night of the Doctor. It was great and so nice to be current with all the other Doctor fans. I think Peter Capaldi was a good choice.

I'll be see it on the big screen this evening.

Cool!

Watching the new Doctor was fun, breaking down on the way hpme not so much. AAA got me home and car battery is on charger, which will hopefully let me get to Sears in the morning (battery is under their warranty).

You should have called the Tardis Auto Rescue.

Nobody can say Sorta does not have a sense of humor. the 1st time I saw the Tardis backyard it blew me off the chair.

Sorry to hear that Guybrush.
BTW, Outlander was wonderful. I can't wait for this weekend - 2 favourite shows to look forward to.

Beheading scene removed from episode of Doctor Who

I think that was a very good idea. I still have sickening images in my mind of the very first hostage beheading long ago. I accidentally clicked on a link while browsing for information and saw and heard the whole terrible thing. Can't get it out of my head. Now when a news story comes on TV about beheadings, I change the channel immediately. Don't want a repeat. Thank you Dr. Who producers for good judgement.

Funny how actors I've never heard of until they get a role in Doctor Who suddenly start popping up in other things. After Peter Capaldi was announced as the new Doctor I saw him in Foyle's War as a communist, and Misdomer Murder as choir director/suspect (he didn't do it). I just saw Samuel Anderson who plays Daniel Pink in the current season of Doctor Who in a very different role in Midsomer Murder. Dan Pink is shy around women and had difficulty asking Clara out. The MM character is a male prostitute offering an extra service to the women he delivers organic vegetables.

Apparently, when Samuel Anderson took the role in Doctor Who he though it was a one episode part. actually he's a regular character.

I recently binge watched all the Midsomer Murder seasons. That show is a who's who of British actors. I also watched Neverwhere, a Neil Gaimon fantasy story done as a mini-series. It featured a very young Peter Capaldi.

My friend records BBC series and movies for me and we watch them together. I drive him nuts when I say, "I know that actor!" Then we have to figure out which OTHER series they have been in. They seem to have several 'favorites' who play roles in loads of stuff there. Fun to watch, good acting, love the UK TV stuff.

Peter Capaldi's Doctor gave another character a Jelly Baby (and apparently it was his idea). A lot of people seem to be having trouble liking this Doctor. They need to find and watch some of the first and sixth Doctor's episodes to see his darker, more sarcastic attitude isn't new. Its just been awhile so newer fans don't get it.

Oh the Doctor talking to himself is another quirk borrowed from Tom Baker.

Loved the Jelly Baby bit. The Doctor is becoming more 'human' in each story. Bit by bit we see the softer side. I'm happy he isn't the slap happy youngster anymore. This may seem like a kid's show but it's much deeper and I'm enjoying the darker side of this doctor. Some 'changes' with Clara too.

Episode 11. I don't see the point of having 7 TARDIS keys, most of which would be locked INSIDE the TARDIS when he leaves it.

How can the dead outnumber the living when we didn't reach a population of 7 billion until 2011? There are actually more people alive now then there has ever been. So that quote from Missy, is nonsense.

I shouldn't have read about fan speculation who Missy was, because somebody was right and spoiled the surprise.

We still don't know what Missy meant when she said in a previous episode that she chose Clara.
