I suspect some FM's will be super excited tonight. I thought they may have left Victorian London at least until Christmas 

 

Looking forward to Mr Capaldi becoming the best Doctor since Tom Baker.

DURATION: 1 HOUR, 16 MINUTES

 

When the Doctor arrives in Victorian London he finds a dinosaur rampant in the Thames and a spate of deadly spontaneous combustions.

Who is the new Doctor and will Clara's friendship with him survive

Lots of foreshadowing mixed in with references to previous episodes.

Lots of great lines too: at the moment, my favourite remains "Oi! Big Man! Shut it!"

Ah thanks. I didn't watch the last series so I guess I was at a disadvantage from the start

FWIW, one of the main references was from series 2 - the SS Madame de Pompadour.

I thought it was a bit of a tame start and as usual the 'confused Doctor' is the bit I want to get over with quickly as I don't like it, I sort of want to skip that bit and get to the 'real Doctor'.

 

Some of the dialogue was a bit muddled for me - I could not quite make out what they said on occasion.

 

But no that is over I'm looking forward more to the series proper, with hopefully better stories and monsters.

 

6/10

As cool as that is...I think I'll pass, thanks! Saving for another Rik tribute tattoo is a far worthier cause than the BBC!

Yes, Mr Mayall went far too soon.

I shan't post any spoilers! I loved it..again!! I am already completely in love with the new Doctor, as I knew I would be! He has the best one-liners and the slightly grumpy demeanour is just glorious.

 

Much easier to follow tonight now that regen is done...enjoyed the story...have my ideas about Missy...just wish, for once in the new series', that we could leave the romance angle alone for a while. Over all though...loving Peter C and still getting over excited for Saturdays!

Another good episode.  I was hoping Zawe Ashton's character would join the Doctor but maybe she will. 

 

Peter Capaldi's Dr and Jenna Coleman's Clara work much better than the increasingly tiresome routine of the Doctor as an unrequited love of his companions.  Jenna Coleman is more witty and spirited so far.  I like the chemistry (or lack of) between Clara and the Doctor.
