Peter Capaldi's Doctor Who crash-lands in Westminster for new season publicity show
Peter Capaldi on Friday crash landed in London with his iconic Tardis and co-star Jenna-Louise Coleman, to hype fans up for the new season of Doctor Who which kicks off this Saturday at 7:50pm on BBC One.
Capaldi will make his debut on Saturday
Visiting the Parliament Square, the 12th Doctor excited fans courtesy of an impressive outdoor set amid the backdrop of Big Ben.
Giving a clue to the contents of the episode was a dinosaur skeleton - which according to leaked scripts will assault the capital city.
Speaking on Chris Evans' Radio 2 Breakfast Show, Capaldi said: "It's difficult with a show that's 50 years old but I thought it would be nice to get some mystery back into it.
"It had become very sort of friendly, user-friendly, which is lovely, but I always thought when I grew up Doctor Who was a slightly spooky, weird character who would arrive out of nowhere and take people off deep into space and give them terrible, terrifying adventures and I wanted to evoke a bit of that."
Even the Liberal Democrats celebrated the Doctor’s emergence on Twitter.
