Just seen the new trailer! It's really good. :cool: Can't give too much away, but Peter's Doctor asks Clara "Am I a good man?" She replies, "I don't know."

It's been officially released by the BBC, so therefore is perfectly fine for discussion
What's the point of the BBC putting a trailer out there in the first place if everyone who sees it feels they have to remain tight-lipped about it
The TARDIS on fire
The space battle
The purple eyed robot
The Daleks line
The dinosaur
Hate:
It was only a minute long
But we got sooooooo much in that minute
Please excuse the mess I have made on the floor.
I was wondering when we would get another Dinosaur on Earth story, as we (quote me if I'm wrong), haven't had one since 1974 with Jon Pertwee, Lis Sladen and UNIT.
That story was quite good, but the effects were awful. They looked just like action figures.
So looking forward to this series. :cool: Just under six weeks to go!! Woo!! Woo!!
He's scottish in the last scene straight after regeneration, that whole sequence he has a scottish accent, not sure how you missed it.:D
Nor me, he sounds soft spoken but I am not getting a strong accent, just a little bit posh. he is magnificent and wonderful and we are in for such a treat, I am ready to fall in love with DW all over again.
I didn't until the final sequence in the new trailer. Even there it's not a very strong accent.
See I'm a Moffat fan boy (allegedly)and enjoyed most of Elevens era but its great to read posts like this for some strange reason.
I didnt hate 11's era,I could just take it or leave it, and rarely got excited,which made me quite sad, but for the first time since 2005 I am thrilled that there is a new series and with each little teaser I get more and more excited, I even went upstairs and got my little one out of bed to come and view this trailer
yeah. I know on this board and everywhere its easy to get drawn into era wars. Its normal. But it would be really good if S8 could bring back on board some of those who didn't quite like previous Moffat series. Of course at the same time there will no doubt be those who loved Elevens era and don't like Twelves. But the more people that love it the better. I've been lucky I suppose in that I have to one degree or another loved every series of New Who. But I have really high hopes for S8 and Capaldi. Could be the best yet.
At the end of the day, Moffat is still at the helm of the show, and his writing style isn't going to change overnight so I think we can pretty much expect more of the same except perhaps with a lot more coherence and focus now that there's no idiotic series split; and I'm happy with this.
What I wouldn't do is claim "this is going to be the best series ever" based on a trailer. People do that every year and are then disappointed.
At the moment, I don't have many expectations or hopes.
Don't get me wrong, I'm incredibly excited! I can't wait for 23rd August, but I'm going to reserve my judgement of the series until after it airs.
I'm going off to university for the first time in October though. Hopefully the university doesn't have some ridiculous data limit so I can watch the show on iPlayer.
I've got a good feeling about this Doctor. By this time next year all the polls may vote him as the favourite all time Doctor. Who was Matt Smith anyway? :cool: (That is not intended to slate Matt who was a good Doctor).
Good job, BBC.
I can't actually view it on the main site as my bandwidth is slow so I'm hoping to catch it repeated on BBC1 sometime. Is there anything new other than these dinosaurs?
Has anyone screen-capped the trailer anywhere?
There's quite a few Daleks. And some weird alien with eyes on really long stems. There's a robot thing and an android with half it's face missing (think a poorly constructed Terminator without the red eyes) and Capaldi riding a horse in pyjamas. There's not really that much else; the trailer really doesn't give a lot away (which is a good thing seeing as some of the 'fans' intend do give it all away anyway).
Of course we need to wait and see. But the signs are all there. Yes its Moffat. And I think he's a brilliant writer. So I am excited. And it seems he has slightly changed the tone of the show and knew to do it at exactly the right time. Capaldi is clearly going to own the role. So what's not to love?
And some people would have you believe Moffat was out of ideas! In the space of just over a year he has completed Elevens story, delivered an incredibly well received anniversary special, Sherlock and now master minded a whole new era. Brilliant.
Thanks
We already knew much of this, but the parts I bolded I haven't heard mentioned yet. Is the robot/terminator similar to the one we saw in Series 7 part 1 (the western episode)?
It does look like that the first time you watch the trailer but not so much upon repeat viewings. There's also some shots of a battle in space.
CultBox have a gallery up but the site is inaccessible right now.

Someone mentioned earlier about a robot Silurian... the robot does look like a Silurian. We also see Vastra talking to Strax and the first part of the trailer has a Dalek talking over it. From what the Dalek says it makes me wonder if they might be getting a slight makeover.
One thing I am wondering; according to the earliest reports from people who saw the first episode filming, it would feature
Ask this question in the spoiler thread if you want to know the answer (I haven't read episode 1 script or seen it but there are rumours since January)
Brilliant - just what I needed! Thanks
I'll give that site chance to come online then check it out later.
