The Daily Mirror is reporting that Jenna Coleman will be leaving her role during this years Christmas special. Coleman has been playing Clara Oswald for the past 18 months. Their sources have stated:
“The conversations about Jenna’s exit have started, and a plan is in place which is being ironed out.”
“It was very much a mutual decision.”
“It’s important to keep the series moving and fast-paced, and the time is just starting to feel right and the feeling is that it could be a perfect Christmas storyline.”
So a week before we get to see Capaldi’s debut episode we already know that his companion in leaving at the end of the season. What do you think about the news? Will you be sad that she’s gone? Or are you excited to see who comes next?
Well we are less than 24 hours away from the premiere of Deep Breath tomorrow in Cardiff. Several of the admins from the Doctor Who Missing Episode Discussion Group on Facebook, and good friends to boot, procured tickets for the show a few weeks ago and will be at the screening. They will be doing a non spoilery live tweet of the events taking place before, during and after the screening .
As an exciting exclusive for all our Twitter followers we will be tweeting live from the Deep Breath premiere in Cardiff tomorrow…
So if you are like me and unable to make it out to the screening, but you want to get all the news as it’s happening, (non spoilery of course) give them a follow on twitter and stay tuned because it all starts in less than 24 hours.
Last night, in the middle of their coverage of the World Cup final between Germany and Argentina, the BBC debuted the first full trailer for Doctor Who Series Eight.
And, what a trailer! At just over a minute long we see glimpses of Daleks and their saucers, a Tyrannosaurus Rex, various unnamed new creatures, all manner of explosive chaos going on, a veiled Vastra, and of course, the Twelfth Doctor and Clara, who he promises to take “into darkness”……….
It’s obvious from this trailer that Peter Capaldi is going to make one hell of an impact as the Doctor, cutting an imposing figure and looking absolutely right in the role. We at TIMD are excited. Roll on August 23rd and Deep Breath.
And on that subject, if you’re reading this you’ll no doubt be aware of two major leaks relating to Series Eight in the last week; firstly the scripts of the first five episodes have found their way onto the web and rapidly circulated, and then, unfinished monochrome work prints of the first two episodes found their way to torrent and file sharing sites.
Our advice is to avoid these leaks, and don’t be tempted to download them. Don’t spoiler yourselves with a month to go. Don’t be tempted to read, or to watch the unfinished episodes, which are missing FX sequences and aren’t ready yet. Of course, fandom abhors a vacuum, and waiting for the Doctor can be a long slog at times, but it’s not long to go, and we at TIMD think that what’s coming is going to be pretty special.
So, take a deep breath until Deep Breath, watch the trailer again, and let us know in the comments below if you spot anything we haven’t. To paraphrase a friend of ours, good times are coming.
Well, it’s official! We have a date and another tiny little teaser trailer! After such a long wait, it’s great to finally know when the new series is starting up! Looks like the first episode is to be called “Deep Breath.”
Have you had a chance to check out the amazing fan made trailer for Series 8? It’s so well done that it fooled some into thinking it was official!
The dedication of Who fans never ceases to amaze! Until we get a better trailer from the BBC, you know, one that actually features more than a silhouette, this will suffice!
