Interesting. So how does it work for scheduling then? Do shows just start at odd times? Or do they have filler shows, or ads between shows? Because Dr Who is still more or less the typical length of a US show.

They basically round up to the nearest 5 minutes, and fill the gap with short adverts for other BBC shows or events. There are no advert breaks during a show, and no external adverts at all.

BBC shows tend to be made to fit into 30, 45 or 60 minute slots, and will therefore normally be a couple of minutes shorter. So Doctor Who episodes are generally around 42-43 minutes. In America (and probably most other countries) this works out as being an hour slot with advert breaks.

I hate teasers. Was blissfully and ignorantly awaiting the new episode, knowing it's sometime in the summer but not really thinking about exact dates. All they've done is made me realize it's nearly 2 months until we get to see it. And that hurts.

The Day of the Doctor finally got me into the series, and while I still sometimes cannot stand the absolute and utter cheese factory that the show is...almost (seemingly) purposefully, something about it is intriguing. I don't think it'll ever be more than a nice distraction for me, but it'd be awesome if this season proved me wrong. Not gonna lie, I got goosebumps from that trailer. Looks pretty awesome. Also still looks pretty cheesy. Will the cheese overrule the awesome? We shall see. NEXT TIME, ON WHO GIVES A FUCK! /morewine

Oh yeah, but DotD was fucking epic. John Hurt is one of my most beloved actors to watch in ALL OF THE OMNIVERSE, and he was absolutely spectacular and mesmerizing as the lost one. I really like the way that Smith carries himself, but I'll be damned if there's just...SOMETHING about the series that turns me right the fuck off. I couldn't get past the first episode of S7. The only way I can describe it is that the production makes me want to vomit. I literally looks like they WANT to be seen as cheesy and...'cheap', for lack of sobriety.

Either way, I have a feeling that if I'm gonna get into the series, Capaldi is gonna push me over the edge into the abyss that is the Doc's realm. And I'll have a little, tiny, puny boner. It's gonna SUCK.  :metal :corn :police:

Well, it's funny, 'cause I watched part of the episode when it was first aired, but I had only seen 3 episodes of Doctor Who in total back then, so I didn't quite understand most of what was going on  :lol I did however understand the overall plot, so unfortunately watching it again didn't bring many surprises. Anyway, it was still an absolutely amazing episode, maybe my favourite so far. The interaction between the three (well, officially four) Doctors was great.

Er, no he definitely sounds Scottish. Just toned down, presumably because American audiences wouldn't be able to undestand him if he went all out.

I resent that!

Then again my BFF's dad is an absolute pure-blood Scot soldier. Literally. He's a badass. But yeah a part of me wished that Capaldi would just fuck with the continuity of the Englishman and use absolutely no forced accent.

For sure, but that's understandable. I'm glad he's actually sounding Scottish this time - Tenant didn't at all and McCoy barely did.

Yeah I was pretty surprised at the few Tenant episodes I watched, quite surprised, in fact. It's nice to hear more of the original accent bleeding through though. Though through, though through.

Apparently his accent was so flawless that Scottish fans got upset with him when they met him in real life and thought he was faking a Scottish accent! :lol

Also, I'm so hyped for Capaldi. That trailer looks downright awesome.

 :rollin That's awesome. I wouldn't have known if I hadn't seen him previously. It's cool, he's always been a pretty active actor in numerous minor roles and then just kinda bursts into nerd commercial success.

Tenant's accent was so flawless I didn't even realise he was Scottish.

Likewise, although not being from over there, I guess I wouldn't be as sensitive to hearing it anyway.

Capaldi definitely sounded more toned back to me in that, which I don't mind, because I did have a slight bit of trouble understanding his dialogue in TTOTD. It didn't help that it was drowned out with music and SFX either, but I had to watch it a few times to get it all. WE'RE PLOLOLY CLASHING! DO YOU HHAAN TO NOR TO FY SESSING?

Trailer looks good. Looks like a good dose of big episodes, and the Doctor seems a little darker (hopefully still with a fun factor that they didn't show in the trailer).
I'm not sure how I feel about the updated TARDIS. That interior was so perfect as it was, so I don't like them sticking paintings all over the walls and tacking on more lights. I'm undecided on the red light in the center. I'm sure I'll get used to it all.

And just for future note (as I haven't seen it mentioned yet), can we keep the thread spoiler free for information from the leaked scripts?

Capaldi looks amazing. This is likely going to be the best series of Doctor Who yet, if everything works out absolutely perfectly. The darker angle is a nice and interesting direction, and the new TARDIS interior looks fantastic-- very reminiscent of the 8th Doctor's TARDIS. There's something homey about it, and I love it.
