The Doctor is in

And here we go again New body, new face, definitely a new accent...

But still the Doctor.

First ep was a mixed bag - as is often the case with first eps. Took me half the episode to really warm to Capaldi's Doctor, and some parts were very cheesy (but then - Who generally does have a large helping of cheddar) but there were some standout scenes, and I loved the second half.

Not sure about the little epilogue. Moffatt's sowing seeds again - let's see what they grow into :P

Some nice callbacks to earlier Doctors - and some plot points that seemed to have been forgotten during Smith's era have been picked back up again in an interesting way that suggests they were never really forgotten at all, but always intended to be picked up by his succesor.

All in all an interesting start to the new Doctor. I think he's going to be great.
