New Doctor Who - Series 8 - will also premiere in Cinemas

[johnmiic]

They announced that the new season premiere will also be screened in cinemas. The Day of the Doctor wasn't just a TV special last Nov. 23rd but shot as a feature. Possibly the new episode was also shot with that in mind?

This no-spoilers review of the new episode sounds like the new season will please us classic DW fans.

Kicking off on BBC1 from Saturday 23 August, Deep Breath is a breathtaking (heh) opener for his debut; the feature-length episode, written by Executive Producer Steven Moffat, benefits from being uncomplicated. Or as uncomplicated as you can get for this era of Doctor Who.

Critics have laid into the overly-complex plotting that marked (or – depending on your point of view - marred) a number of episodes in the previous run. But Deep Breath appears to signal a return to basics, a rebuilding. And what better time to do that than with a newly-regenerated Time Lord?

The Doctor and Clara (the wonderfully perky Jenna Coleman) are pulled into a pulse-racing adventure through Victorian London. They’re joined by fan favourites the Paternoster Gang: Madame Vastra (Neve McIntosh), Jenny Flint (Catrin Stewart) and Strax (Dan Starkey) who all provide a good deal of humour (and in the case of wife and wife team Madame Vastra and Jenny, some of it is pretty racy!).

Unsettling and genuinely disquieting at times, this episode will have you practicing the length of time you can hold your breath – and watch out for a massive surprise. Despite its 80-minute running length, it’s well-paced, deftly moving from moments of light (there are some cracking one-liners and amusingly playful Scottish/English teasing) to moments of shade.

Peter Capaldi puts so much manic energy into his portrayal, he could probably power the planet. In Deep Breath, his Doctor is simultaneously sure of himself, yet broken. Tough, but vulnerable. Distant, yet caring. For ‘classic’ Doctor Who aficionados, this will be the Doctor of their childhood, especially as the relationship with his companion has no trace of will they/won’t they? shenanigans.

Matt Smith will be missed, but not for long because it’s no exaggeration to say this is the role Peter Capaldi was born to play; he’s been a massive fan all his life. Whovians will already know that he wrote to the Radio Times about the show at the age of 15. A little over 40 years later, he is now the world’s most famous sci-fi character.
