Doctor Who (2005) 'Deep Breath'

Latest episode of Doctor Who Series 8 entitled Deep Breath already air last night, it was a great episode and i really like it. Doctor Who is entering a new chapter, a new era with Peter Capaldi and to do this the sci-fi favourite must avoid a plateauing - and there is certainly pressure on chief Whovian Steven Moffat to keep it moving. The first episode of Series 8 and the first episode to fully feature the Twelfth Doctor.

In Victorian London, a tyrannosaurus rex has rather surprisingly appeared in the Thames outside the Houses of Parliament, prompting the arrival of Madame Vastra and the Paternoster Gang to investigate how it got there. When it vomits up the TARDIS, which in turn reveals the newly regenerated Twelfth Doctor and Clara (last seen in the TARDIS as it was crashing), that particular mystery seems to be solved — but when the dinosaur spontaneously combusts later that night, our heroes realise that something more complicated is at work. The incredibly disorientated Doctor launches himself into an investigation of who or what is going around incinerating people (and dinosaurs), and for what sinister purposes, while Clara tries to adjust to the new man that her friend has become and to decide whether or not she can continue to trust him.

This episode marks the first use of a new title sequence based on this fan-made intro by Billy Hanshaw, using the online psuedonym "billydakiduk". Executive producer Steven Moffat himself discovered the video and liked it so well, he hired Hanshaw to do an even more dolled up version of his original concept, and Billy signed on for other projects for the BBC.
