Tourists and politicians got a surprise glimpse of the new Doctor (Peter Capaldi) and companion Clara Oswald (Jenna Coleman) this morning after the TARDIS crash-landed in Parliament Square.
The PR stunt was arranged by the BBC to tie-in with Saturday’s start of the eighth series.
The feature-length opening episode, entitled Deep Breath, sees the Doctor arrive in Victorian London where he finds a dinosaur rampant in the Thames and a spate of deadly spontaneous combustions.
Deep Breath, BBC One, 7.50 PM on Saturday 23rd August.
