Doctor Who
The Doctor yield at last this Saturday , with the premiere of the eighth time of year of the modernDoctor WhoTV serial . Season eight ’s first appearance sequence , " Deep Breath " ( take in the trailer ) , will decent innovate Peter Capaldi as the Doctor ’s latest positive feedback , after his brief appearance at the end of the 2013 Who Christmas special ( and his forehead ’s even briefer cameo in theDoctor Whoproperty ’s 50 anniversary exceptional ) . To differentiate the occasion , today we can extend the full rundown of season eight , including each single episode title plus the single writer(s ) and director involved .
CurrentDoctor Whoshowrunner Steven Moffat has , in the recent past , expressed a desire tomix things upfar more in season 8 than he did on his previous three time of year as the series ' drumhead writer . rifle by amore dramatic and dark trailerfor this season , Capaldi’s"less human " Doctoris a far war cry from Matt Smith ’s boyishly absent - apt Doctor . As Jenna Coleman ( who ’s back for season 8 as the Doctor ’s human companion Clara)has put it,“you could quite access him the same way . "
As such , it feel all the more appropriate thatDoctor Whoseason 8 was overseen by a number of directors who ’re fresh to the Who - verse , yet are very much see at craft more grownup - orient amusement . Indeed , when you look at the motion picture ( A Field in England , Tank Girl ) and TV series ( Strike Back , Da Vinci ’s Demons ) on the collective curriculum vitae for this season ’s helmers , it ’s an interesting intermixture of acute dramatic material and mature genre fare .
Here is the perfect inclination of directors forDoctor Whoseason 8 ( viaBBC One ) ; we ’ve also included some of their previous directorial efforts .
Equally intriguing is the fact that a smattering ofDoctor Whoseason 8 ’s director know their mode around horror territory - be it ground in nature , like Ben Wheatley ’s work , or more fantastical , like theNightmare on Elm Streetfeature by Rachel Talalay ( Doctor Who ’s first distaff director in some time ) . That is to say , the ominous tone of those initialseason 8 teaserscould rise to have been rather prophetic of what set ahead .
Bear in mind , saying thatDoctor Whoseason 8 will be " darker , " we ’re sing comparative to recent seasons . As you may see below , the time of year ’s installment deed alone bespeak the show is not abandon its identity as a capricious sci - fi / illusion adventure - since , really , an installment style " Robot of Sherwood " can only besoserious . ( " Mummy On The Orient Express " , though , nowthatsounds like an intense time of day of view material … yes , I ’m kidding . ) It looks as though iconic Who villains The Daleks will be crop up up as before long as the second sequence this time of year , though we knowthere are other classic Who baddieswaiting in the rafters for their turn to oppose the Doctor once more .
On that note , here is the full episode summing up forDoctor Whoseason 8 ( along with the writer(s ) for each one ) . The roll of freshman to the world of compose forDoctor Whothis twelvemonth include Peter Harness ( Case Histories ) , Jamie Mathieson ( Being Human ) , and Frank Cottrell Boyce ( The Railway Man ) .
One last affair to note - theBBC One ’s instalment list confirm that Samuel Anderson ( Doctors , Casualty ) will be introduced to the Who - poesy in the episode " Into The Dalek” . He will be play Danny Pink , who is one of Clara ’s fellow teachers at Coal Hill School - not to name , someone who will now and again be joining The Impossible Girl and The Doctor on their adventures through space and time .
Whether or not Danny will finally become the Doctor ’s full - clip fellow traveller once Clara ’s run with The Doctor draws to a faithful ( rumour is that will happenduring the 2014 Christmas Special ) - that very much remain to be seen . Generally , the human fellow traveler are only able-bodied to keep up with the Doctor for a couple season , at most , before their time is done ; which is to say , even if she take a shit it past Christmas , it ’s unlike that Coleman will remain on the show after time of year 9 . One thing at a sentence , though , as we ’ve yet to see how different ( or not ) life is , exploring the galaxy with Capaldi ’s Time Lord .
Doctor Whoseason 8 premiere on Saturday , August 23rd , 2014 .
