That trailer looks great.

I really hope this series is a good one. I didn't enjoy series 8 much tbh. Capaldi was brilliant, but the stories fell flat for me. That trailer looks like we could be in for a good one though.

Rewatching s3 on watchHD and it is honestly gripping the show seems to of lost its ability to tell a story that keeps you interested throughout.

I was watching Series 4 the other day and I thought exactly the same. The series had a really clear storyline and arc throughout but now it just feels like a load of episodes pushed together.

I agree moffat does too much sometimes and forgets that other people need to get whats going on.

New Doctor Who News was revealed today
(Gonna put it in spoiler tags BC some people might not want to see it)

Episode 9...

Spoiler:

is going to be a found footage type episode. 'Doctor who meets clover field'

Episode 11...

Spoiler:

Is apparently an episode to only star the doctor, no other cast memebers at the moment. just 45 minutes of Peter Capaldi. This is part one of the finale, and there could be a very big cliffhanger (as Steven Moffat hinted at earlier this year)

And Finally...

Spoiler:

The zygon episodes have the titles 'Invasion Of The Zygons/Inversion Of The Zygons'

I really like this new tidbits of info!

That sounds interesting. Capaldi is certainly capable of pulling off the episode 11 spoiler. And I really like the idea of episode 9.

[Oaker]

Episode 9 sounds like it will either be amazing or terrible tbh, lets hope for the best

I feel like they have been toying around with the idea of episode 11 for a while, and it could well fit into the whole Pompeii thing because Steven Moffat said he could be using one of Russell T Davies in the series, and episode 11s idea could've been suggested for David, but he didn't want to? I'm not sure but it could be what happened

and same, episode 9 sounds really good

[BBJordan]

I think it will honestly be alright, but I think this episode will be scripted, and if they wanted it to be like found footage, they should've given the actors some freedom with the lines to make it as realistic and I think doing, and making the actors improvise, that would make the show go to a new boundary.... However it might have just been Peter Capaldi swearing like he did on the thick of it so you know

[Marsh.]

I don't think it was meant for David.

The RTD idea was about how The Doctor could have the same face as the man from Pompeii (Peter Capaldi). RTD had an idea for how that could've occurred because Peter Capaldi also played a different character in Torchwood.

[Marsh.]

An episode with the Doctor and no one else sounds awful though.

[Jarrod]

Updated the OP with episode titles but I've put a spoiler tag around them.

Oh wow, thanks for this. Definitely super intrigued about episodes 9 and 11 now.

[Jarrod]

Here are some rumours about the new series...

Spoiler:

-Davros will return in the series opening two-parter but as a child.
- Maisie Williams could be playing a younger version of Clara or a regenerated version of The Doctor's Daughter from Series 4.
- Episode 11 will see The Doctor discover the reason behind his face reappearing.
- Jenna Coleman may leave the show at the end of Series 9
- The Fires of Pompeii may be revisited, with David Tennant and RTD reportedly making short return stints. Both were spotted visiting the Doctor Who set in Cardiff.
- One site has also rumoured the presence of Paul McGann at the filming of Series 9 and a "degeneration"-scene has been rumoured, which is a flashback back to previous Doctors

[Lostie!]

Are they all two-parters this series?

On DS they've quoted Peter Capaldi as saying "some one parters, two parters and even a three parter".

They've said the majority of episodes will be two-parters.

A few more things I just found on doctor who TVs new article about Steven Moffat:

Spoiler:

5 teaser words – “Cards”, “Hybrid”, “Cobbles”, “Solo”, “Dead” (mostly in order, one will make you laugh, the other cry)
Reason for more multi-part stories is about recapturing mystery and atmosphere – more creeping menace and character moments
Missy had the “Least convincing death in history”. But her quick return wasn’t originally planned for the opener, she just fit the theme – “friends within enemies”.
Concept for episodes 3 & 4 was “ghosts plus time travel” – what if you could meet your own ghost?
Guest star Sophie Stone’s character will only speak through sign language in 3 & 4
Maisie Williams plays a very important character in 5 & 6… Is she “The Girl Who Died”? “Maybe, but it won’t be as simple as that”
“The Women Who Lived” is “heartfelt, eloquent and clever”. Both 5 & 6 are obviously connected
Moffat had the idea for the Zygon two-parter before the 50th. The Zygon plot strand in that was a prequel to this year
Moffat has in fact co-written episode 8 with Peter Harness
Zygons are living among us, what do we do about it? Could it be these monsters aren’t monsters at all and are just like us?
Episode 9 is a tough one to pull off and very different to Gatiss’ other scripts, still unmistakably in his in style and tone but nothing like Robot of Sherwood
With Episode 10, Moffat thought “why haven’t we done thatbefore?”
In 10 “every scene ends on a cliffhanger, Clara’s funny and the Doctor is outrageous”
Episode 10 was pushed up to lead us into the final two episodes
Episode 11 is one of the strangest Doctor Who episodes ever made – “It’s as ‘out-there’ as we can get” and was a “shockingly hard script to write”
Episode 12 is “more in the finale tradition. It’s all about… well, you’ll see”

And Finally, another thing from doctor who TV:

Spoiler:

The Judoon and the Hath will be making a return.

[Pete.]

NOT here for a Jenny revival - that ship of a possible spin off sailed ages ago

[Ashley.]

I wonder if episodes will get leaked this year.

[Rob!]

I am SO perched for a

Spoiler:

Davros

return if true.

[BBJordan]
