Talk:Series 8 (Doctor Who)

Can we continue?
The article was locked and reverted to its original form two months ago, and has been unlocked for almost a month. Can we re-enter the information and update with more (if there is anything new to report, that is) at this point? --SOTO ☎ 08:37, July 28, 2013 (UTC)

Well, at least it doesn't have any story arc spoilers. And BBC hasn't announced any, so we're in luck.

Filming start needs to be corrected
It's been announced that filming begins on 6th January 2014, not in December, so that needs to be corrected. Presumably, since the 6th is tomorrow, an official announcement from the BBC will be issued that can be used as a source. 68.146.70.124talk to me 05:30, January 6, 2014 (UTC)
 * "It's been announced"? By whom? If you give me a source, I'll add it to the page. --SOTO ☎ 05:35, January 6, 2014 (UTC)

Today is January 6 for me. Sergent Doomy Doom, Doomy Doomy Doomy Doom-BOOM! Boooooooom...Dooooom...Doom Boom. Doom Boom. Doom Boom. ☎  01:51, January 7, 2014 (UTC)
 * All moot now as the announcements have been made. I've added the first day of filming and first Capaldi shooting day, and also the date of the readthrough (announced by the official DW Twitter feed from the BBC). 68.146.70.124talk to me 18:28, January 7, 2014 (UTC)

Rumours section
Is there any point in adding the "Tom the teacher from Day of the Doctor might be a new companion" rumor that's been kicking around since November 23? 68.146.70.124talk to me 18:28, January 7, 2014 (UTC)
 * It can only be added if it's cited from a proper source. Otherwise, anybody could add anything and the page would quickly become a mess. Shambala108 ☎  18:39, January 7, 2014 (UTC)


 * Nevermind that, do we even need the actual rumour section? TheMostBoringManInTheWorld   (talk)  18:38, January 7, 2014 (UTC)

I know, by what you say, that this is a fansite, but I thought you might find this interesting: http://www.doctorwhotv.co.uk/summer-broadcast-for-doctor-who-series-8-60862.htm?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+DoctorWhoTv+%28Doctor+Who+TV%29 --DCLM ☎  22:55, February 12, 2014 (UTC)

Tom Riley
If I remember correctly, Tom Riley is playing Robin Hood. --109.59.102.144talk to me 17:58, June 11, 2014 (UTC)

Master
Unless the BBC has confirmed it, we can't say "The Master will return." Could someone please change the wording to "may"? 68.146.52.234talk to me 21:30, June 30, 2014 (UTC)
 * Well, the rumor isn't that the Master might return; the rumor is that he will return... -- Bold  Clone  21:33, June 30, 2014 (UTC)

Trailer
I understand we can't upload videos or pictures here, and we can't use the trailer as a source because it is very vague and misleading, but can we add a prominent link to it? I think anyone coming to this page would like to see it. CloneMarshalCommanderCody ☎  03:54, July 18, 2014 (UTC)


 * There are plenty of ways people can find the link without us linking to it. Anyway, it is against Tardis:Video policy (point #6) to link to videos offsite. Shambala108 ☎  04:09, July 18, 2014 (UTC)

Rumours
There are many rumours saying that the second episode is called "Into the Dalek", the third "Robots of Sherwood", fourth "Listen", fifth "Time Heist", ninth "Flatline" and the eleventh "Death In Heaven". --DCLM ☎  18:31, August 3, 2014 (UTC)


 * There is a section for rumors on the series 8 page, but the titles can only be posted there if they include a valid source, that is, where do these rumors come from. There are complete guidelines for valid sources at the top of the series 8 article. Shambala108 ☎  20:20, August 3, 2014 (UTC)

I could link to various pages, but I don't know which you considered valid. And the pages I find them on doesn't link on to other pages, except one that link on to Tweets on Twitter. --DCLM ☎  10:23, August 4, 2014 (UTC)
 * Danniesen, I believe you just violated T:SPOIL. Those first four episode titles aren't rumours, they're spoilers!
 * Oops... I'm so sorry if that's the case. I never meant to do that. --DCLM ☎  15:15, August 4, 2014 (UTC)
 * I thought they were simple rumours. --DCLM ☎  15:18, August 4, 2014 (UTC)

Daleks
Daleks aren't a rumour anymore. They've been seen in the official trailer. Hylian Hobbit 18:13, August 7, 2014 (UTC)
