August 23rd, 2014 - 9:27pmIt was unbelievably disappointing, I’d rather watch an hour of coronation street than this complete and utter dross. By far the worst doctor and the backdrop was completely fake, for example when the doctor was on the roof of the Victorian house after climbing out the window it felt I was staring at a play group painting. 1 hour and 20 minutes of my life I will never get back.

August 23rd, 2014 - 9:22pmAs someone who’s (!) been watching since Pertwee, I thought he was excellent. The first episode has historically been about a slightly disoriented/disjointed Doctor – it always took a few episodes to zero in on his new personality. Capaldi brings a new gravitas to the part that, frankly, Smith could not dream of pulling off (not to knock Smith, who was very good even with the burden of following Tennant). He also exhibits a more sly, low-key sense of humor, though occasionally it’s difficult to pull some of that out of that Scottish accent – I’ll need to start using subtitles. Well-done BBC.

August 23rd, 2014 - 9:22pmmoffats back!
this was a great introduction to the twelfth doctor I loved it all I found the title sequence amazing and very different and when the 11th doctor came in was amazing! and that end was awesome and strange it will probably go into the finali

August 23rd, 2014 - 9:22pmHave not laughed so much in a dr who for a long time – enjoyable though rather spooked by my son guessing each plot turn ahead of it coming! Hope the lady at the end doesn’t involve long complicated story arc that culminates in end of series let down. First episode and the new doctor top marks!

August 23rd, 2014 - 9:20pmJust amazing! Best opening episode yet. Capaldi is amazing!! 10000000000/10

August 23rd, 2014 - 9:20pmWell that was amazing, brilliant, awesome, and lots of other fantastic adjectives I can’t even think of! Peter Capaldi was absolutely captivating, intense, and dare I say it….rather dashing! I thought David Tennant was my favourite Doctor, then I thought Matt Smith was my favourite Doctor – now i’m not too sure! Can’t wait for next week.
