Doctor Who Series 8: First Teaser Drops!

Today is a good day to be a Whovian, my friends. The BBC just dropped a 16 second teaser for the eighth series of Doctor Who, confirming it to officially start this August, with a specific date soon to be announced in the coming months. The eighth series of the long running British science fiction show will mark the beginning of Peter Capaldi's run as the Twelfth Doctor, joined once again by previous companion Clara Oswald (Jenna Coleman).

There is not a whole lot to say about this teaser, as it is only 16 seconds. However, what SHOULD be interesting to note is that the Twelfth Doctor's silhouette is shown behind an exploding TARDIS, specifically Matt Smith's second TARDIS design that was used starting with The Snowmen. Perhaps this could mean that Capaldi is getting an entirely new TARDIS to mark the beginning of his tenure? It wouldn't be the first time, as Matt Smith also received a new TARDIS back in 2010 when he first started out.

I am now intrigued to see what is planned for Capaldi's incarnation of the Doctor. Many remains to be seen, as I am sure we will be getting more of a full length trailer in the coming months or so, along with an official date for the eighth series premiere. For now though, check out the 16 second teaser below and get ready for the new Doctor to land this August!
