angelophileAccording to the BBC anyway.

The main reaction seems to be "meh". I appreciate the idea of juxtaposing a young man in old man's clothes, but I think he looks more like an out of work Geography teacher than anything. Yeah, I know people have said before that Nu-Who's looks haven't been quirky enough, but they've looked just fine when in action, but this is so... ordinary. Deliberately so, I know, to show that just because the new Doctor's really young, doesn't mean his brain's suddenly turned into a trendy young thing's, but even taking that into account, I'm finding it very bland.
I do like the extremely practical boots though, just right for all that running.
This other release has more details on The Grand Moff's run and the name of the new companion revealed.
EDIT: Oh, and if you reaaallllly want to spoil yourself, the first day's filming revealed the guest star on set. Big spoiler there.
And a bunch more pics here.
EDIT EDIT: Oh my goodness, he does actually have leather patches on his elbows. Someone get the man a leaky fountain pen, stat!

About the series Moffat commented: “Here's me, with the job I wanted since I was seven. 40 years to here! If I could go back in time and tell that little boy that one day all this would happen, he'd scream, call for his Mum and I'd be talking to you now from a prison cell in 1969. So probably best not then."
