BBC Gives Us First Look at the New Doctor

True, this isn’t technically the FIRST glimpse we’ve seen of Peter Capaldi as the new Doctor, but seeing him briefly when he regenerated doesn’t really cut it for me or the legions of Who fans out there.

The BBC has decided to whet our appetite by releasing this new picture of the Doctor in his new look before going on to explain a bit more about his new attitude.

Much more minimalistic than the last Doctor, especially, wouldn’t you say?

Peter Capaldi had this to say about his portrayal of the new Doctor:

He’s woven the future from the cloth of the past. Simple, stark, and back to basics. No frills, no scarf, no messing, just 100 per cent Rebel Time Lord.

And Steven Moffat followed with this:

New Doctor, new era, and of course new clothes. Monsters of the universe, the vacation is over – Capaldi is suited and booted and coming to get you!

Filming on series 8 started earlier this month with new episodes rumored to hit August or September.
