Season 8 Filming Starts on Jan 6th

The Master

So filming to begin this Monday January 6th.

Pretty much guaranteed a leaked shot of the new costume by lunchtime.

Hopefully we get an official pic before then and not a blurry camera phone one.

Thoughts for the new season?

Rumors of The Master returning and that the actor has just been cast

Talk of one of Clara's colleagues joining the TARDIS crew.
It would be lovely to have a season of 2 teachers from Coal Hill school traveling with an older doctor like we had in the beginning

Doctor DooM

I'd very much like all of that. Moffat Master sounds pretty awesome to me!

I think James Nesbit would make an interesting master (have a look at his role in jekyll)

Oh god no.

I only watched that recently. Face meltingly awful. :pac:

I heard that rumour about the second teacher. I approve.

Rumour and mutterings suggest that we've already met this potential second teacher; that he's the one, in the 50th anniversary story, who goes into Clara's classroom, to let her know she has a message from her Doctor.

As for the costume, I suspect the BBC will make an official announcement and photo release of the new Doc posing in his threads in and around the time of the first exterior shoots.

This I would like very much, plus it would be a nice homage from the first of the next 13 to the first of the original 13.

Not very excited by the rumour about Episodes 1 and 2 here (*yawn*): http://www.doctorwhotv.co.uk/doctor-who-series-8-2014-what-we-know-52507.htm. I do like the notion that "it's time for the old beast to snarl at you for a bit", though, and am really looking forward to seeing what Capaldi does with the role.

I would have liked to Simm do a little more as The Master against a different Doctor to 10.

But if not it would be nice to at least get a regeneration scene, I think Simm said he would be up for it.

Why are you speaking about yourself in the third person?
When do you start filming?

Really hope the beeb put out an official pic soon and it's not another newspaper shot like when Matt's costume was revealed

EDIT - current filming location

If you magnify in really close you can see Peter Capaldi having a sneaky fag behind the portaloo.

Strax, Jenny and Madame Vastra all spotted on set today filming so defo a Victorian era episode to come, plenty of pics on twitter already

Doctor Who Official @bbcdoctorwho

Filming has started on the new series of #DoctorWho! Full story and exclusive first pic of the new Doctor very soon… http://t.co/Yg74PDSQxE

Groovy!

The Master

Still in Matt's costume, nothing new really.
As with the other recent docs probably won't choose a costume till the end of episode 1

The Master

As I said in the OP I think the beeb have really missed a trick here
This should have a been a proper high def pic of him in his new outfit
I hope the reveal isn't spoiled by a blurry camera phone pic or an odd angled paparazzi shot.

flazio

Perhaps he's keeping the clothes?

BuffyBot

Just for most of his first episode, I'd bet.

Orion

Peter Jackson has said that discussions over him directing an episode were “getting serious”.

Excellent. Maybe he'll visit Middle Earth

He was originally only supposed to do one episode, but now it's three one-hour specials.

Nah, no chance of that. Each Doctor has that ceremony of choosing their new outfit when we see them regenerate.

I'll wait for the extended editions with the 12 extra minutes of sonic screwdriver swashbuckling.

Here's a Youtube clip, spoiler free!

Given we know the first episode to be set in Victorian times, I wonder if perhaps that'll sway the costume choice of Capaldi's Doc? His last incarnation wore what he found in a locker room from a modern-day hospital, so perhaps! It'd certainly continue the trend of Doc number ... uh, whatever number he is... being a more traditional one.

I doubt it'll be too Victorian. Smith's last costume (since he met Clara) was very Victorian. Chances are they'll go for something different this time.

True enough, didn't think of Smith's last costume - in my mind he'll always be in that tweed jacket, too-short-trousers-with-braces combo

I tell ye what though, only Doctor Who can make me excited about a flippin' wardrobe choice.

Das Kitty

Maybe he'll just go around in various types of jammies. :pac:

Can't wait for him in a batman onesie.

Pedantic nerd alert

New logo that has turned up on some of the toys being shown around



As opposed to the old/current one



The H is now slanted!!
