Yes, loved the intro, much closer to classic themes. Capaldis presence was quirky, incisive and intelligent. Nice shading of darker tones behind the larking about.
Great nods to previous incarnations hartnelesque overcoats and curly fur collars, scottish kilt for troughton era, baker scarf reference and wonderful red pertwee coat lining!
I agree entirely. Capaldi nailed it!
ReplyDeleteGood start I thought, some nice, thoughtful dialogue, bit of humour but bit of bite too. Very promising.
ReplyDeleteAltogether a really good start. And, the new theme, especially the musical arrangement doesn't grate on me like the previous one.
ReplyDeleteAs Scoop said, Peter Capaldi IS the Doctor!
A good summing up Kevin, couldn't agree more, and some nice parts in the story to help all the Matt Smith fans get behind Peter.
ReplyDeleteAnd for me and Will, (and everybody, if I'm honest) a less than oblique reference to Tim Baker's Doctor!
Your right about the musical arrangement, Bill, I found it vaguely reminiscent of the original theme - a thumbs up from me.
