'''Series 8''' of ''[[Doctor Who]]'' ran from [[23 August (releases)|23 August]] [[2014 (releases)|2014]] to [[8 November (releases)|8 November]] 2014. It starred [[Peter Capaldi]] as the [[Twelfth Doctor]] and [[Jenna Coleman]] as [[Clara Oswald]]. The series opened with {{cs|Deep Breath (TV story)}} and concluded with {{cs|Death in Heaven (TV story)}}. | |||
== | == Overview == | ||
It consisted of eleven stories and twelve episodes. The series saw the debut of [[Peter Capaldi]] as the [[Twelfth Doctor]]. Capaldi was announced in a live television special, ''[[Doctor Who Live: The Next Doctor]]'', on [[4 August (production)|4 August]] 2013.<ref name="capaldi">{{cite web|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/doctorwho/articles/Peter-Capaldi-exclusively-revealed-to-the-nation-as-the-Twelfth-Doctor|title=Peter Capaldi exclusively revealed to the nation as the Twelfth Doctor|author=The Doctor Who Team|date of source=12 March 2013|website name=BBC|accessdate=7 December 2013}}</ref> The [[Eleventh Doctor|previous Doctor]], [[Matt Smith]], announced he was leaving on [[1 June (production)|1 June]] of the same year.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/doctorwho/articles/Matt-Smith-to-leave-Doctor-Who|title=Matt Smith announces he is to leave Doctor Who|author=The Doctor Who Team|date of source=1 June 2013|website name=BBC|accessdate=7 December 2013}}</ref> | |||

This series also saw the return of [[the Master]], now in a female incarnation known as Missy, played by [[Michelle Gomez]], which was the first time a Time Lord had been portrayed in two distinct genders. The overarching story elements revolve around characters who have died in the episode being greeted to 'Heaven,' by [[Missy]], where the heaven is revealed to be a data cloud to store the minds of the deceased, as Missy upgrades the bodies into Cybermen before manipulating the minds to delete their emotions and put them into their old cyber-upgraded bodies as an army. This is a plan to lure the Doctor into a trap so she can get her 'friend back.' | |||

|} | |||
=== Episode notes === | |||
* This is the first series of the revived series that does not consist of 13 episodes (excluding Christmas and other specials). | |||
* This is the first series since [[Series 5 (Doctor Who 2005)|Series 5]] to be broadcast straight with no split. | |||
* {{cs|Deep Breath (TV story)}}, {{cs|Into the Dalek (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Caretaker (TV story)}}, {{cs|Flatline (TV story)}} and {{cs|In the Forest of the Night (TV story)}} all feature the appearance of a mysterious character known only as "Missy". This is analogous to the early appearances of [[Madame Kovarian]] in [[Series 6 (Doctor Who 2005)|Series 6]] and is the overall arc for the series. In ''Dark Water'', Missy is revealed to be a female incarnation of [[the Master]]. | |||
* This is the first series since [[Series 5 (Doctor Who 2005)|Series 5]] to end with a two-part story and the first since [[Series 6 (Doctor Who 2005)|Series 6]] to have an officially-designated two-parter. | |||
* One episode experienced censorship issues during the series. BBC Entertainment serving SouthEast Asia announced it was required to delete a brief sequence from the region's broadcasts of {{cs|Deep Breath (TV story)}} showing Vastra and Jenny transferring oxygen by way of a kiss due to some jurisdictions prohibiting the depiction of same-sex kissing. | |||
* On 4th September 2014, [[BBC One]] announced that a brief sequence in {{cs|Robot of Sherwood (TV story)}} was to be removed from the broadcast edit on 6th September in the wake of the recent execution of two Western journalists by terrorists, out of concern that it might be disrespectful or otherwise inappropriate.<ref>https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/tv/news/doctor-who-beheading-scene-cut-from-robot-of-sherwood-after-steven-sotloff-murder-9712496.html?amp</ref> As of 2020, the scene has not been included in any release of the episode. | |||
* This is the first full Doctor Who series in [[Australia]] to be rated M (for mature audiences) <ref>Australia's Classification website (Doctor Who Series 8) | |||
http://www.classification.gov.au/Pages/View.aspx?sid=69RopHhhBWvUbT%252fpWbFxFw%253d%253d&ncdctx=CS%2bmGrIk86InRL%2bTUFqPefzY4hRzQs24Ci%2bbEv0WqasqB6llZOIGTxb%252fMQecAI5FChov8be%252f5GGazzHQh2s9jDJkREdcr6K27nDctGfCTEk%253d | |||
</ref>. This rating had previously been given to {{cs|The Waters of Mars (TV story)}} (before being reclassified the family-friendly rating of PG), [[Doctor Who (TV story)|the TV Movie]], ''[[Attack of the Cybermen (TV story)|Attack of the Cybermen]]'' & ''[[The Ambassadors of Death (TV story)|The Ambassadors of Death]]''. It would also later be given to [[Series 9 (Doctor Who 2005)|Series 9]] on release. | |||
* This series is the first series since [[Series 3 (Doctor Who 2005)|Series 3]] not to feature [[River Song]]. | |||
* Counting {{cs|The Day of the Doctor (TV story)}} as part of Series 7, this is the first series in which the 9th and 10th Doctor TARDIS interior does not appear. | |||
* The title sequence of {{cs|Death in Heaven (TV story)}} has Jenna Coleman credited before Peter Capaldi and Clara's eyes appear instead of the Doctor's, thus marking the first time for a companion both being credited before the main incarnation of the Doctor in the episode and replacing the Doctor's face in the opening credits. | |||
* This series is the only series during Steven Moffat's time as showrunner to not include a story written by [[Toby Whithouse]]. | |||

Series 8for other, similarly-named pages.
Series 8 of Doctor Who ran from 23 August 2014 to 8 November 2014. It starred Peter Capaldi as the Twelfth Doctor and Jenna Coleman as Clara Oswald. The series opened with Deep Breath [+]Loading...["Deep Breath (TV story)"] and concluded with Death in Heaven [+]Loading...["Death in Heaven (TV story)"].
Overview[[edit] | [edit source]]
It consisted of eleven stories and twelve episodes. The series saw the debut of Peter Capaldi as the Twelfth Doctor. Capaldi was announced in a live television special, Doctor Who Live: The Next Doctor, on 4 August 2013.[1] The previous Doctor, Matt Smith, announced he was leaving on 1 June of the same year.[2]
Filming began on 6 January 2014,[3] and ended on 7 August of the same year.[4] Series 8 was the first series since series 5 in 2010 to be broadcast straight with no series split halfway through it, and the first series of the revival not to consist of 13 episodes (excluding Christmas and other specials), instead running for 12.
The new Doctor was joined by Series 7, Part 2's companion, Clara Oswald, as played by Jenna Coleman, in her first full series.[5]
Samuel Anderson joined the cast as a new recurring character, Danny Pink, a fellow teacher at Coal Hill School.[6] Although initially reported by media as being a new companion for the Doctor, in fact the character never actually took on an official companion role during the course of the season.
The Paternoster Gang returned,[7][8] each using a sonic device designed in a Blue Peter competition in the series.[9] Kate Stewart, Osgood[10] and UNIT also appeared.[11]
This series also saw the return of the Master, now in a female incarnation known as Missy, played by Michelle Gomez, which was the first time a Time Lord had been portrayed in two distinct genders. The overarching story elements revolve around characters who have died in the episode being greeted to 'Heaven,' by Missy, where the heaven is revealed to be a data cloud to store the minds of the deceased, as Missy upgrades the bodies into Cybermen before manipulating the minds to delete their emotions and put them into their old cyber-upgraded bodies as an army. This is a plan to lure the Doctor into a trap so she can get her 'friend back.'

Production[[edit] | [edit source]]
Brian Minchin, the new producer of the series, explained in the July 2013 issue of Doctor Who Magazine that "I have just spent a very happy few days meeting some scarily clever writers, and we have an incredible set of stories to work on. More adventures ahead!". In a May 2013 interview, Steven Moffat claimed that "the next season is plotted out."[12]
The first read-through for series 8 was held on 17 December 2013.[13] This was an unusually long lead time, as actual filming for the first episodes of series 8 did not commence until 6 January 2014, with Capaldi filming his first scenes the next day. In a break from what was done with Christopher Eccleston, David Tennant and Matt Smith and several Classic era Doctors, the first episode filmed by Capaldi was also to be the first episode to be broadcast.[14]
Crew[[edit] | [edit source]]
Producers[[edit] | [edit source]]
Series 8 was co-executive produced by Steven Moffat and Brian Minchin. (DWM 460) Series 7's producer, Caroline Skinner, officially stepped down on 13 March 2013, [15] and Minchin was announced as her replacement on 30 April. [16]
Producer Marcus Wilson stepped down following production of The Time of the Doctor [+]Loading...["The Time of the Doctor (TV story)"]. His role was filled by former producers Nikki Wilson and Peter Bennett.[17]
Writers[[edit] | [edit source]]
Steven Moffat penned both the series opener, episode 4, and the two-part series finale, as well as co-writing on episodes 2, 5 and 6. Phil Ford wrote episode 2, Mark Gatiss wrote episode 3, Steve Thompson's script is for episode 5, and Gareth Roberts wrote episode 6 of the series. Three new writers joined the series: Peter Harness (episode 7), Jamie Mathieson (episodes 8 and 9) and Frank Cottrell-Boyce (episode 10). All three of these new writers returned for further episodes, in later series.
Directors[[edit] | [edit source]]
Ben Wheatley directed episodes one and two. Paul Murphy directed episodes 3 and 6, Douglas Mackinnon directed episodes 4, 5 and 9, Paul Wilmshurst directed episodes 7 and 8, Sheree Folkson directed episode 10 and Rachel Talalay directed the two-part finale.

Episode notes[[edit] | [edit source]]
- This is the first series of the revived series that does not consist of 13 episodes (excluding Christmas and other specials).
- This is the first series since Series 5 to be broadcast straight with no split.
- Deep Breath [+]Loading...["Deep Breath (TV story)"], Into the Dalek [+]Loading...["Into the Dalek (TV story)"], The Caretaker [+]Loading...["The Caretaker (TV story)"], Flatline [+]Loading...["Flatline (TV story)"] and In the Forest of the Night [+]Loading...["In the Forest of the Night (TV story)"] all feature the appearance of a mysterious character known only as "Missy". This is analogous to the early appearances of Madame Kovarian in Series 6 and is the overall arc for the series. In Dark Water, Missy is revealed to be a female incarnation of the Master.
- This is the first series since Series 5 to end with a two-part story and the first since Series 6 to have an officially-designated two-parter.
- One episode experienced censorship issues during the series. BBC Entertainment serving SouthEast Asia announced it was required to delete a brief sequence from the region's broadcasts of Deep Breath [+]Loading...["Deep Breath (TV story)"] showing Vastra and Jenny transferring oxygen by way of a kiss due to some jurisdictions prohibiting the depiction of same-sex kissing.
- On 4th September 2014, BBC One announced that a brief sequence in Robot of Sherwood [+]Loading...["Robot of Sherwood (TV story)"] was to be removed from the broadcast edit on 6th September in the wake of the recent execution of two Western journalists by terrorists, out of concern that it might be disrespectful or otherwise inappropriate.[18] As of 2020, the scene has not been included in any release of the episode.
- This is the first full Doctor Who series in Australia to be rated M (for mature audiences) [19]. This rating had previously been given to The Waters of Mars [+]Loading...["The Waters of Mars (TV story)"] (before being reclassified the family-friendly rating of PG), the TV Movie, Attack of the Cybermen & The Ambassadors of Death. It would also later be given to Series 9 on release.
- This series is the first series since Series 3 not to feature River Song.
- Counting The Day of the Doctor [+]Loading...["The Day of the Doctor (TV story)"] as part of Series 7, this is the first series in which the 9th and 10th Doctor TARDIS interior does not appear.
- The title sequence of Death in Heaven [+]Loading...["Death in Heaven (TV story)"] has Jenna Coleman credited before Peter Capaldi and Clara's eyes appear instead of the Doctor's, thus marking the first time for a companion both being credited before the main incarnation of the Doctor in the episode and replacing the Doctor's face in the opening credits.
- This series is the only series during Steven Moffat's time as showrunner to not include a story written by Toby Whithouse.
