Doctor Who Discussion Thread: Series 8: TONIGHT 7:50pm BBC1

[Jarrod]

So the official premiere of Deep Breath happened in Cardiff and now around the world, and some people may be interested to find out what the titles are like. There is a link to watch them in the spoiler.

The titles for the series are completely different to Series 7B, from what I've seen from a leaked video. They're based on a design uploaded by someone on Youtube who was actually employed by the BBC... his name was on the script leak. The titles can be watched here:

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2333kl_doctor-who-series-8-official-title-sequence_shortfilms

I'm not too sure on what to think of them...

[Pete.]

Interesting. Apart from the clock theme it's ok but they need to keep to one set title sequence not changing it up every series

[Pete.]

Happy they kept the face in the sequence

[Jarrod]

I was trying to keep it spoiler free, Pete :laugh: Some might not want to know anything about it until it airs.

Also, they've only changed it a lot recently. The titles stayed practically identical throughout the 2005-2010 run, and they only changed the theme tune once.

They changed for Matt Smith's introduction in 2010, and then they decided to do the whole "blockbuster" themed titles for the five episode of Series 7A. Then for Series 7B they introduced another version.

[Pete.]

Sorry ill spoiler it

[Sticks]

Reported in the Daily Mirror, Jenna is getting the order of the boot

See here (http://www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/doctor-whos-jenna-louise-coleman-quits-4061757)

This bit here

“By the time she leaves she will be one of the longest-standing companions ever. She has been absolutely brilliant in the role, but everyone agrees it is a part that should change after a period.”

The source added: “It was very much a mutual decision.

So did she jump or was she pushed?

[Scarlett.]

I love the look of the new titles, it's something really different to what we've seen before. Made sense to change them, seeing as Matt Smith's face was in the other ones lol.

[armand.kay]

I read somewhere that there won't really focus an a story arch this season so it sounds really promising

Shame - though the series 6 story arc was a complete mess at times, I did enjoy the adding of clues and plot points as the series went on.

I don't mid sort arcs but I prefer every episode to have a new adventure. My face story arc the bad wold one if that counts because it didn't focus on it until the end.

[Glenn.]

Peter Capaldi debuts as the Doctor tonight :amazed:

[Marsh.]

I read somewhere that there won't really focus an a story arch this season so it sounds really promising

I think it will be a "loose story arc" like Bad Wolf in series 1.

So it will lead to something in the finale but not be all consuming like the crack in the universe or the Silence. Thank goodness.

I just dislike him as executive producer.

I'm not knocking his credibility because obviously a lot of people love his work, especially since DW is growing in popularity in other countries like America. I'm just not a fan of his take on DW, unfortunately. I try to get into as much as I can since I'm a big fan of the show but it's just too...I don't even know. :laugh:

[Saph]

these two are married?

Didn't she come back because they attached her brain to the remaining piece of skin from her original body which was then destroyed and her brain then died?

He's a very clever writer that sometimes doesn't come across well in a show like Doctor Who. Some of his era has been great, other parts not. His writing suits the style of show that Sherlock is. I still watch religiously but it's not as "good" as it used to be.

Sherlock kind of went off the boil too in series 3.

I think he tries to chuck too many ideas into the pot at once.

Whereas if he spaces them out more (like his standalone episodes) it translates better.

Agree. I miss standalone episodes as we've rarely had them in the Moffat era.
