It’s the TV series that’s been hotly anticipated by Whovians across America.
And as Peter Capaldi gears up to step into Doctor Who’s shoes, millions will be tuning in to see exactly how the Time Lord bursts onto their TV screens when series eight kicks off on August 23 on BBC America.
Capaldi, who will be making his first appearance in Deep Breath as the 12th Time Lord, will be adding a dark twist to the much-loved character – with Jenna Coleman alongside him as his trusted assistant, Clara Oswald.
The trailer has already given viewers a tantalizing taster of the exciting new series – which is set in Victorian London and promises a journey ‘into darkness’, according to the Doctor. From a Tyrannosaurus Rex marching past Big Ben, to the Cybermen and the Daleks, this season promises to be a nail-biter – with the Time Lord asking Clara: ‘Am I a good man?’
To which she replies: ‘I don’t know.’
… Oo-er!
Just how well Capaldi captures the show’s critical viewers remains to be seen!
