What is going wrong with that one (face is longer than it should be)
There's some footage of that photographed scene here

http://www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/peter-capaldis-doctor-who-sports-3098140#.UvE-sPtjBO9

Capaldi's Doctor, it seems, is not the huggy type.

A few news sources are reporting that Peter Capaldi will face off against the Daleks early in his run.

I'm sure you're all shocked that there's gambling going on in this establishment.

The story I'm hearing on Twitter is the BBC or somebody wanted to give Daleks a rest for the season and Capaldi said he wanted them, so we're getting Daleks.

I could have used a Dalek break personally, but I suppose if you've been waiting your entire life to become the Doctor, you're going to want to battle his arch-nemesis!

I guess this should bode well for The Master reappearing during Capaldis run then as well.

Aside from the Christmas special have the Daleks been in an episode since Asylum?

They were in Day of the Doctor as well.

Do they still have the arrangement with Terry Nation's estate that the Daleks have to appear once per season? Apparently the tiny appearance in Season 6 counted so they don't have to star in an episode.

They were in the 50th as well. I think Moffat has mostly just been using them for the mob episodes that feature the entire Doctor Who rogue gallery of villains, which is fine. I don't know, they get to be kind of silly, but it will be fun to see Capaldi interact with them to see how his Doctor is different.

I'm okay with the new character information at face value. If it's just a teacher who happens to teach at this school, that's fine. I just can't shake the Moffat doubt that the school is going to have some sort of secret or hidden agenda that they've always operated as friends of the Doctor as some organization throughout history and blah blah blah, insert long speech by that turkey from Aqua Teen Hunger Force. Just let a teacher be a teacher, nothing more.

I checked him out on IMDB and I'm not familiar with any of his work, but on principle, I think this is great! Hopefully he is well-written and popular enough as a recurring that he can become a regular companion. It'd be nice to fill up that TARDIS a bit. :shobon:

I hope he is another Rory, and not another pre-alternate Universe Mickey. It would also be cool if this is just a way of annoncing that Clara is leaving midseason and here is her replacement.
