Anyone in any doubt about Peter Capaldi as the squiddleteenth Doctor need have no fears!
When I ordered this I was delighted to discover that thanks to the timey-wimey nature of Royal Mail, I actually recevied the complete series before it had even been filmed.
"It was sheer genius to bring back the [spoilers] Zarbi - looking gloriously retro chic - and to pit them against an army of Melkurs was inspired.
Capaldi's rich Scottish accent might be off-putting for some, so it's great to see each story so skilfully subtitled - just think of how much we would have missed without the translation of the Doctor's ironic question to the Emperor Dalek: "Whaur's the cludgie?" And in the 5th episode (so clearly a tribute to the Third Doctor era) we would have been totally lost without the subtitle for: "Goad a'michty! Ma dampt hoovercraft's breemin' ower wi bluiddy eyls!"
This is a promising debut for the new Doctor, who works especially well with the lovely Clara and the new companion Troels (who already looks good in that swimsuit!)... a real burst of Nordic phwoar!
;-)
Why would you want to pre order something thats not even been filmed yet?
Id preorder if the dvd came out before the series got aired but seems a but silly.
For me, I feel I will know the show is dead in the water if ever the day comes when there are so many terrible episodes that the current series as a whole is not worth owning. A day I hope never comes. Am actually hoping for a return to form like the glory day's of series 1-4 for capaldi, but uncertain it will happen
Why did you post this. There was no need to post about how the series has gone downhill in a thread that had nothing to do with that. Mullet's comment was fair enough, but this mostly has nothing to do with the Series 8 box set, just personal opinion, which for some people can be seen as infuriating (especially with that glory days comment).
Sorry, but there's no need for doommongering in what could have been a light-hearted thread.
Yes, I didn't see it as doom-mongering at all. You were just stating your rationale for whether you buy a boxset or not and said that you do so even when you think the series may have been uneven.
They are jumping the gun a lot, by doing this! It's not going to be shown until late August at the very earliest. May even be the middle of September. Plus, I read online a couple of weeks ago, that the logo is going to be different, with the 'DW' bit left out this time.
I've also heard that Capaldi's Doctor is supposed to be getting a new Sonic Screwdriver. Apparently, the one that River Song had in Silence In The Library back in 2008.
This picture shows PC's Doc with a different logo, no 'DW', holding River's future Screwdriver:

I think that Amazon should take the s8 DVD Box Set page down, suspending pre-orders until at least July. Usually, amazon won't let anyone review a DVD until the product has been released. So the 'fake' reviews will eventually go.
There is a modicum of sense, inasmuch as I believe when you pre-order on Amazon, you're guaranteed the best possible price. So whether the price goes up or down, you're definitely not going to be paying a penny over £36.75 (plus P&P) and you might even stand to get it for less.
Only a modicum of sense, mind! I'm certain I'll get Capaldi's first series on DVD at some point and yet I'm not pre-ordering it.
I don't think they need to suspend orders. The cover clearly states tbc on it. You don't pay for preorders until they are ready to send out plus if the price drops after you preorder you get it for a cheaper price. Amazon has had game of thrones series 3 up for preorder up since about may time and yet its not out till next month so its not the first time amazon have put up something that isn't due out for at least 9 months down the line..
Actually, Amazon don't stop people reviewing unreleased products- people were doing the fake reviews for Sherlock as well.
Don't get me wrong, it's funny but that kind of stuff belongs on a forum, not on people wanting to see whether a certain product is suitable. It's not simply just the content of the series that people review but the DVD itself.
It wouldn't be the first time I've ended up with two copies of something due to accidentally ordering it twice
Glad I'm not the only one to have done that...!
What do you mean the episodes haven't aired yet?
To be fair, he was talking about the criteria he uses for judging whether to by the box sets and an observation he has made for the two showrunners era's seasons that influences that decision.
He never said Moffatt's era was crap. He did state that in the Moffs times there are still more good than bad, but that in his opinion he feels marginally less so than RTD.
What's that (the bit I've now put in a spoiler box) got to do with how early you can pre-order series eight?
Thanks for slipping a spoiler in a thread about something else entirely! Please keep spoilers in the spoiler thread or clearly labelled as such. I don't want to have to avoid this forum from now till the Autumn.
yeah, I thought the photo looked terribly fake, but was still hoping that maybe there was some truth in the rumours. Oh well, if it is true (fingers crossed) then hopefully it will come out from people watching the filming sooner or later
