Doctor Who Series 8 - 2014
Coming to our televisions on August 23rd, 2014, this exciting new series of Doctor Who will introduce Peter Capaldi as the Twelfth Doctor alongside his assistant Clara.
Now the longest ever running science fiction show on TV, the 8th season will bring more thrilling episodes, and more alien monsters from the corners of time and space.
Watch the trailers and read more about Doctor Who below...
Introducing the New Doctor!
Every few (thousand?) years, the Doctor undergoes a “regeneration”, where he acquires a new body and a new face. In the 50th Anniversary Special, we saw the end of Matt Smith as the Eleventh Doctor, and got a glimpse of the next...
Peter Capaldi is the Twelfth Doctor. He's a little older than the others we've had recently, and so we’ll maybe see a wiser Time Lord? Maybe more eccentric too, more like the early Doctors. Many fans are excited to see what this new Doctor will bring.

What can we expect in 2014?
The Internet is full of rumours about what we might see in the new season of Doctor Who.
We already know that the Doctor has regenerated, and will be played by Peter Capaldi, accompanied by Jenna Coleman as Clara Oswald the Doctor’s assistant. Many are looking forward to see how the Twelfth Doctor will turn out, and what his character will be like.
The first trailer from the BBC was action-packed, featuring familiar monsters such as Daleks as Cybermen, as well as a mysterious tentacled alien and a T-Rex. Other trailers have been much more brief, giving away very little of what is to come.
It’s sure to say, however, that the new Doctor Who will feature exciting adventures, a sophisticated story arc that slowly unwinds, and villains that are sure to have you gripping the sofa cushions!
The series starts with Deep Breath on August 23rd. Watch the trailer below...

Catch with last year's Doctor Who
In 2013 we saw Matt Smith continue his excellent role as the Eleventh Doctor in the second part of Season 7, and with a new companion. While travelling throug Time and once again saving the Universe, the Doctor has to solve the mystery of Clara, the impossible girl who has died twice.
The Doctor's search for Clara Oswald brings him to modern day London, where wifi is everywhere. Humanity lives in a wifi soup. But something dangerous is lurking in the signals, picking off minds and imprisoning them. As Clara becomes the target of this insidious menace, the Doctor races to save her and the world from an ancient enemy.
There was also the fabulous 50th Anniversary Special, featuring both Matt Smith and David Tennant, and introducing John Hurt as the War Doctor.
In this 50th Anniversary Special, three Doctors embark on their greatest adventure ever! In Elizabethan England a murderous plot is unfolding, in modern London something is awakening in the museum, and an ancient space battle reaches its devastating finale.

Comments
This season is darker compared to it's previous one. There are situations like life and death and we explore some of the aspects of the Doctor. Too bad the ending is kinda bittersweet as Danny is dead although the Christmas special made a great conclusion to the series.
Do you know, I haven't gotten into Doctor Who? I'm not sure I've ever watched an episode -- but my one niece loves it and even dressed her two girls in characters for Halloween.
Personally not a big fan of the Doctor but my son is. Great page about Doctor Who Series 8.
I see that one of the channels that we have had Doctor Who. I just never watched it.
I have yet to watch this program, but my son is a big fan and it is certainly making a splash here in the United States as well. Great hub.
I am a total nut where Doctor Who is concerned! lol! yes I watched it and I think Peter is going to be good, I like his mixture of humour and accepting that he is older now, good start! great hub, nell
I read about Capaldi today elsewhere. I used to watch the Dr. all of the time but my server took the channel back. I am a big fan of Dr. Who and your Hub was great, I loved the videos and I did not vote since I either laughed or smiled at the show most of the time. I voted it up, shared and pinned it.

Just started watching this show last week. We're three episodes in and I can tell my husband and son are really enjoying it. I'm told they change the doctors and assistants each season so looking forward to see how they do it. Great to see you here!
Time lord.. Time lord...where's the popcorn and rasinets.. Doctor Who Series 8-2014 a must watch!

Only 1 day to go! Who's ready to meet the new Timelord? :)
My daughter is one of Dr. Who's biggest fans. She was just telling me yesterday that whenever she hears someone quote a line from Dr. Who, she says "I SO get that!" :-) I'm sending her this page to read as I know she will be ready to watch Series 8 when it begins.
I have only seen the short trailer for Doctor Who, but he looks as though he is going to be good.
Looking forward to the new Dr Who series
I have been a Dr Who fan for over 4 decades! I continue to love each and every new season. I'm a bit behind because I watch them on NetFlix. I'm beginning season 7 now.
I've never gotten into this series either, although I see it's hugely popular. This is such a fun page! Can't wait to see more of your work over here.
Great page, Fluff. Particularly good for those Who want and need to know.
My sister in law is hugely into this. I'm thinking maybe I should get her this when it comes out on DVD. Great review!
I have not followed the Doctor Who series, but I have followed yours articles on the topic for years. Excellent presentation, Fluff. Sharing this!
Yes, Susan for me it has been years since I have seen Dr Who. I plan to check it out too. I told my husband yesterday about fluffanutta and his hub. Today I will read it to him and maybe tell a few friends about his hub because they might be interested too.
Clearly I'm in the minority when it comes to jumping on the Doctor Who bandwagon - I've never seen an episode! Also clearly, I'm missing a lot. Maybe this year I'll check it out. Again, my interest is piqued.
Looking forward to seeing Capaldi's incarnation and how he takes on the role...
That was a great time in my life when the Doctor Who series was out. Watching Doctor Who helps bring those memories back. I lost interest when one actor came in and I am not sure why. It is a fun series. I am in a Google + circle that is all Doctor Who fans. Thanks for choosing this for some articles I will plug in.
Really looking forward to the return and I will be very interested to see how Capaldi comes across - I have great hopes for his incarnation of The Doctor.
Glad to hear Doctor Who will be starting Aug. 21, 2014 I've always been a big fan of the show!
