Timelord2
June 28th, 2014 - 2:54pmI hope that there’s a lot of mysterious things in the first episode,like the dick pond and that,also things that make no sense and make sense like years later,then also a story arc of some kind like the cracks

June 28th, 2014 - 2:55pm*duck pond I apologise for the rude work ,it was a spelling error
Itdalek
June 28th, 2014 - 8:32pmBut a funny error at that, anyway I do agree abit with your point although something minor not some big question which have to wait 3 years til it gets answered
Doctor Stu
June 28th, 2014 - 2:03pmHope this series is darker and brings death back to doctor who because to be honest the last time we actually saw the Daleks properly exterminate someone was in 2010 in victory of the Daleks
The Moffat Paradox
July 2nd, 2014 - 12:40pmYes lets have it that bit darker,scarier and sombre. In the old days people who helped the Doctor tended to end up getting killed.Including now and then the odd companion.

sammyboi101
June 28th, 2014 - 9:17amWhen they say that Deep Breath is a feature length episode, how long will it be because I guess it will be longer then 45mins?
booboo
June 28th, 2014 - 9:18amnormally about an hour
obey the whispermen
June 28th, 2014 - 9:28amI think it might be an hour because Matt smiths first episode ‘the eleventh hour’was about 1 hour and 5 minutes.

June 29th, 2014 - 9:13amyeah, i thought it would be.
Thanks for that.

June 28th, 2014 - 5:34amI really hope this doctor is going to be dark and I hope Doctor Who might change its audience for a little older.
Exterminator
June 28th, 2014 - 6:38amI agree, it’s become too much of a kids show of late.
DOCTOR WHO ONE
June 28th, 2014 - 7:26amGuys, it is a FAMILY show.
WFK DVD Collector 14
June 28th, 2014 - 8:24amThat’s were it’s failing, DOCTOR WHO ONE. I still think of Doctor Who as a show aimed at teenagers and adults. I wouldn’t call some of the more violent classic stories like Vengance on Varos and Attack of the Cybermen as a show aimed at family viewing.
And everyone, I’m really sorry but I have to voice my true opinion on this new teaser trailer. I think it looks like a soap opera. And the title of the episode really is a dissapointment. They must have really thought about that, not.
Sorry if no one on this site likes it, but these are my opinions, and I will stick with them until the 23rd of August.
sammyboi101
June 28th, 2014 - 9:14amWe are defiantly heading in a much darker direction… Much, much darker…
Anonymous
June 28th, 2014 - 11:05amMe too, I’m all for it being a family show but there are adults as well as children in a family and a lot of season 7 looked as though it had been made for CBBC not BBC . Hopefully with Peter Capaldi the stories will be aimed at the whole family not just the children
Doctor, 13th
June 28th, 2014 - 3:46pmI hope they bring back the horror era and I hope the lighting isn’t like what we saw in the trailer and poster; it looks like it’s covering too much up. I also hope Doctor Who always starts at 7:00.
Dalekmus Prime
June 28th, 2014 - 3:41amI’m liking this. I’m hoping the Series 8 plot will be about the Doctor rediscovering who he his, with Clara there to help him. It would make sense since the Doctor has post-regeneration amnesia again, and Clara has been through his timestream.
The Other
June 27th, 2014 - 11:39pmThe TARDIS doesn’t seem to be fairing too well!
Well if Capaldi is a “punk rock Doctor”, then maybe he’s crashing the TARDIS for fun, “like hey, #YOLO and all, why not?”
LOL XD
Cool trailer though, hopefully we’ll get a proper one soon!
And hopefully the new series will be as dark as these teasers make out, it would be a nice change for things to get a little darker and more serious, something I’ve been wanting for a while!

June 27th, 2014 - 11:26pmI was hoping that Dr Who would get a bit darker and this trailer looks as though things are about to get very dark indeed.
I can’t wait.

June 27th, 2014 - 10:41pmOh, and are we now adding a bit of colour in the background that I don’t remember from before?
Obsie
June 27th, 2014 - 10:35pm“Extractor fans on!” (again). The poor “old girl” must dread each time The Doctor regenerates.
Dalek1234
June 27th, 2014 - 10:33pm(ODD QUESTION!)was it safe having peter with all those flames?
the astronaut of death
June 27th, 2014 - 10:34pmproably
they wouldn’t film it , if if it wasn’t safe
The Other
June 27th, 2014 - 11:42pm@Dalek 1234
Probably, although it would have required a lot of precautions
@the astronaut of death
Not neccesarily, actors have died on set before

June 27th, 2014 - 11:58pmWHAT!!! LIKE WHO?

June 28th, 2014 - 12:13amThe famous one was Brandon Lee who was shot on set of The Crow. Roy Kinnear also fell from a horse whilst filming a Musketeers film which brought on a fatal heart attack.
