The new era begins... First images of Peter Capaldi

The BBC have released the first images of Peter Capaldi's Twelfth Doctor,filming the opening episode penned by Steven Moffat. This and second episode, written by Phil Ford, will be the first episodes that Capaldi films. From what has been spotted from location reports, the first episode is set in Victorian London and once again features the Paternoster Gang; Madame Vastra, Jenny and Strax.

As you can see, the new Doctor hasn't yet adopted a new set of clothes to match his new persona, instead wearing Matt Smith's costume as seen in The Time of the Doctor.

This week's issue of Doctor Who Magazine features Capaldi on the cover, as well as the first interview with the actor.

The Light at the End!

Now here's something to make a Doctor Who fan smile, and if you're not smiling then don't show your face around these parts until you do. Here's a brilliant image from the cover of this months Doctor Who Magazine, featuring the five surviving classic Doctors who are all set to appear in Big Finish's audio production The Light at the End, to celebrate 50 years of our favourite show. It's remarkable to see them all together, let alone know that they'll be acting alongside each other. After all, we know that Tom Baker's involvement in Doctor Who related productions have been rocky since he left the show in 1980.

Now lets just wait for someone to kindly photoshop their old costumes on, and we can soak in what we hope to see in The Day of the Doctor. Seriously, who cares if they're a bit large around the middle and with a bit less hair on top, shove them in their costumes and they'd dazzle us as much as they did back in their heyday.
