Do anyone know if the first episode be repeated on bbc before the next one?

Yes, it will be on BBC 2, overnight fri/sat, 3.55 to 4.45am

Just to warn you though, it's part of the "Sign Zone" so you will have a person on screen performing sign language throughout the dialogue.

annoying how Sky still doesnt have BBC catch up.

Same here, especially as

The Master appears in the trailers, and John Simm's presence was already spoiled by the BBC. Would be terribly anticlimactic if what was behind the door was already 'seen' by the audience.

So, like many of us have been since last season, I came into this completely skeptical and ready to be disappointed.

I wasn't too happy with the guitar playing Doctor at the start because I just find it a bit cheesy, however, everything else was fantastic.

The story was solid, that little bit of fear in the episode and whilst the ending was kind of obvious from past stories, it was still very good.

Bill is, well Bill is fantastic. She reminds me a bit of Rose in just how accepting and thrilled she is by everything and Capaldi really really grabbed me again.

I can honestly say I'm excited for the rest of the season.

What was the promise the Doctor made? Am I forgetting something from the end of the last season?

I can't remember exactly, but I thought it was either a promise to never travel alone again (as he needs someone with him), or the opposite, a promise to never bring someone with him again (as they end up being hurt). To me, the promise was definitely about whether he should 'get involved' with Bill or not, and he was looking at two other companions' pictures while talking, wasn't he?

I don't think so, I reckon it'll be revealed later.

So... speculation corner; what do we think is in the vault? Actual relevance to the season arc or just coincidence?

The Master?

Doctor DooM

Really enjoyed that, felt like a quite different vibe to the last series (which was needed, I'd be someone who enjoys Moffatt, but felt like it was time for something new).

Bill is a good companion, a normal person in an insane world, exactly what I like in them!

Anyone else get a slight 3rd Doctor vibe of the episode? Older, grey curly hair doctor, velvet coat, dealing with the British establishment, a tie to the Earth they can't stray too far from.

Actually, thinking about it, the two last episodes of series 9, Heaven Sent and Hell Bent just about make up for the stuff that went before... Maybe I've been a bit harsh on SM..... ;-)

Jury is still out....

Hmmm, so we've tended to have threads for each episode every season, but I'm thinking perhaps this year we just keep it all on this thread & unify the chat as the season progresses.

So when the season actually kicks-off I'll edit the thread title to include "*** SPOILERS ***" warning and let folks use their common sense. What do people think, or would you all prefer per-episode threads?

One thread would do for me.

I thought was an entertaining, solid opener; definitely came across as a sorta soft-reboot, & good introduction were anyone to dip their toes for the first time into the world of Dr. Who. A small-scale story with fairly small-scale stakes, coupled with some great little character beats for both the Doctor & Bill. Nordole was just ... kinda there.

Bill herself was a pleasant surprise: lots of charm and blunt self-awareness without coming across as smug. Definitely a winner there.

So... speculation corner; what do we think is in the vault? Actual relevance to the season arc or just coincidence?

Also, I think that episode had the most endearingly old-school & otherwise best-forgotten shoutout to the original series:

The Movellans, the disco robots from Destiny of the Daleks

ixoy

Strong opener and I was pleasantly surprised by Bill who hadn't initially come across well in promos. I really want the Doctor to just have a regular companion - nobody ultra special, nobody who the universe revolves around, but closer to another Donna.

Nice touch with the pictures of Riversong and Susan too.

ebbsy

Good episode, built on the foundations of good actors.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

The first episode in a few seasons now (not that I haven't enjoyed them, but there always seemed to be a lack of something in recent years), that had me 100% back on board... Loved Bill, Capaldi is on top form and great to see Nardole as a fully fledged companion too.

Yourself isit

Good episode. Also kind of a reboot. Somebody coming to this for the first time would get it all explained. The double meaning of The Pilot.

Bill is likeable

exaisle

Not sure about anybody else, but Moffat has been a huge let-down for me....
I think there's been a lack of imagination and invention on the show during his reign....the flashes of inspiration have been rare and it has descended into same old same old.
A bit less of the ould Deux Ex Machina please.
I suspect that most of Moffat's better ideas have been exhausted on Sherlock...well, now that that's abeyance,maybe the current series will show improvement....

WomanSkirtFan8

Have to say that I really, really enjoyed that episode. That trailer at the end looks really great too. Original cybermen and tje ice warriors are back too! This is going to be a really great season!:)

TheIrishGrover

I pretty gave up last season. I just got bored with it and the companion. Thought she was gonna be really interesting initially but then: Meh.

However I really liked that episode. From the trailers Bill looked pretty annoying but I thought she was pretty good. Thought the relationship between her and Evil-Willow/Girl-from-Let-The-Right-One-In was well done.

Agent Coulson

I really really enjoyed that I have to say.

martingriff

I know I will come across somewhat sexist here but there were all ways characters I see as male James Bond Jack Reacher (if they can make a 5ft person anything possible) and The Doctor. Now that is not to say I would turn off and they would probably grow on me but it was what I thought

martingriff

AH NEARLLY MISSED IT. Was checking guide for something else and and went oh cramp (or words like that) series linked now so can not miss it

Could we create another thread with no spoilers just guess work? Like the game of thrones thread.

Hmm, perhaps though I would think any guessing or speculation could be caught on this threas via cautious spoiler tag usage?

Mod note: so this thread will be used for all discussion of season 10 as & after it airs. Obviously anyone not wanting to be spoiled on episodes they haven't yet watched should take this into account and exercise caution when reading peoples' posts!

So not long to go until the start of Capaldi's last run!
