So, there was this giant, terrible leak. And as bad as I feel for the BBC about this, well, Peter Capaldi.

I'm not touching the scripts with a fifty foot poll, but I couldn't care less that it's a black-and-white work print covered in watermarks and unfinished CGI as long as I can see the performances.

I am not going to spread plot spoilers. If you want to find this yourself, it's exactly where you would expect it to be. As is my usual procedure, I will make up for stealing now by buying the DVDs when they come out, and the BBC will ultimately be no worse off.

I will not put any reactions at all outside of spoiler cuts, in this post or anywhere else. (I do mention a creature revealed in the latest trailer below the cut.)

( Discussion of performances, characterisation, general tone and one critter from the trailer. )
