Editing (section) Series 8 (Doctor Who) 0 You are not logged in. === Episode notes === * This is the first series of the revived series that does not consist of 13 episodes (excluding Christmas and other specials). * This is the first series since [[Series 5 (Doctor Who)|Series 5]] to be broadcast straight with no split. * ''[[Deep Breath (TV story)|Deep Breath]]'', ''[[Into the Dalek (TV story)|Into the Dalek]]'', ''[[The Caretaker (TV story)|The Caretaker]]'', ''[[Flatline (TV story)|Flatline]]'' and ''[[In the Forest of the Night (TV story)|In the Forest of the Night]]'' all feature the appearance of a mysterious character known only as "Missy". This is analogous to the early appearances of [[Madame Kovarian]] in [[Series 6 (Doctor Who)|Series 6]] and is the overall arc for the series. In ''Dark Water'', Missy is revealed to be a female incarnation of [[the Master]]. * This is the first series since [[Series 5 (Doctor Who)|Series 5]] to end with a two-part story and the first since [[Series 6 (Doctor Who)|Series 6]] to have an officially-designated two-parter. * Two episodes experienced censorship issues during the series. BBC Entertainment serving SouthEast Asia announced it was required to delete a brief sequence from the region's broadcasts of ''[[Deep Breath (TV story)|Deep Breath]]'' showing Vastra and Jenny transferring oxygen by way of a kiss due to some jurisdictions prohibiting the depiction of same-sex kissing. On 4th September 2014, [[BBC One]] announced that a brief sequence in ''[[Robot of Sherwood (TV story)|Robot of Sherwood]]'' was to be deleted from its broadcast on 6th September out of concern that it might offend viewers in the wake of the recent execution of two Western journalists by terrorists.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.radiotimes.com/news/2014-09-04/bbc-makes-edit-to-doctor-who-robot-of-sherwood-out-of-respect-after-two-journalists-are-killed|title=BBC makes edit to Doctor Who Robot of Sherwood "out of respect" after two journalists are killed|author=Radio Times|date of source=4 September 2014|website name=Radio Times.com|accessdate=5 September 2014}}</ref> * This is the first full Doctor Who series in [[Australia]] to be rated M (for mature audiences) <ref>Australia's Classification website (Doctor Who Series 8) http://www.classification.gov.au/Pages/View.aspx?sid=69RopHhhBWvUbT%252fpWbFxFw%253d%253d&ncdctx=CS%2bmGrIk86InRL%2bTUFqPefzY4hRzQs24Ci%2bbEv0WqasqB6llZOIGTxb%252fMQecAI5FChov8be%252f5GGazzHQh2s9jDJkREdcr6K27nDctGfCTEk%253d </ref>. This rating had previously been given to ''[[The Waters of Mars (TV story)|The Waters of Mars]]'' (before being reclassified the family-friendly rating of PG), [[Doctor Who (TV story)|the TV Movie]], ''[[Attack of the Cybermen (TV story)|Attack of the Cybermen]]'' & ''[[The Ambassadors of Death (TV story)|The Ambassadors of Death]]''. It would also later be given to [[Series 9 (Doctor Who)|Series 9]] on release. * This series is the first series since [[Series 3 (Doctor Who)|Series 3]] not to feature [[River Song]]. * Counting ''[[The Day of the Doctor (TV story)|The Day of the Doctor]]'' as part of Series 7, this is the first series in which the 9th and 10th Doctor TARDIS interior does not appear. * The title sequence of ''[[Death in Heaven (TV story)|Death in Heaven]]'' has Jenna Coleman credited before Peter Capaldi and Clara's eyes appear instead of the Doctor's, thus marking the first time for a companion both being credited before the main incarnation of the Doctor in the episode and replacing the Doctor's face in the opening credits. * This series is the only series during Steven Moffat's time as showrunner to not include a story written by [[Toby Whithouse]].
