Also the blokes have gloves and The Doctor has cropped trousers. She's already experiencing all the woes of clothes shopping for a woman's body.

Actually her duster does have pockets. Which will naturally be bigger on the inside. ☺ Perhaps the bum bag is really some sort of alien tech?

They were filming in Sheffield earlier this week.
SPOILER ALERT a scene where a man was knocking on the door of the Tardis!

Don't like the cropped trousers and trouser braces on a woman doesn't look natural. I keep thinking it reminds me of the much missed Robin Williams as Mork.

Three of the big hitters from the Peter Capaldi era, Sarah Dollard, Jamie Mathieson and Mark Gatiss, have all confirmed that they aren't writing for the new series. Sounds like Chibnall has established a writers' room of relatively new writers that he can shape and manage the way he wants to. Probably a good thing that it'll be all new voices.

Wanted to post a pic of my dog "Doc" aka The Dogtor in his newly built TARDIS kennel but couldn't fathom out how to do it so I changed my avatar instead. ( It was due for a change)

New logo revealed just now at the BBC Showcase. And confirmation that Murray Gold is no longer composing for the show. Certainly seems to be all out all change in the Tardis!

Saw the trailer earlier today on iPlayer, and in all honesty I was underwhelmed. I wasn’t expecting a full blown season trailer just yet but I was hoping for a little more than what was offered. A real non event for me I’m afraid.

Glad I wasn't the only person to feel that way.
It was an opportunity to sell the new series to a wide audience - and the focus was on the companions rather than the Doctor.
We need to get to know her first and then the assistants - not the other way round.
Wasted opportunity.

Except that's the complete opposite approach that the series has taken in the past.
The first episodes of both the old and new series introduce the companions and then show the impact the Doctor has on them.

I thought there would have been a few action sequence tasters even if it was the old running along the corridor footage and maybe a odd Dalek or Cyberman etc.

The first episodes of both the old and new series introduce the companions and then show the impact the Doctor has on them. Exactly. If you are already a viewer. you don't need to be introduced to the Doctor. Because even if the outsides change, it's still the same character you've been watching previously. If you are a newbie, you'll find out about the Doctor as the companions do. Oh, and it was only a teaser. Not a trailer. That will come a bit later. I remember when the series returned with Chris Eccleston, the only teaser we got for ages was the Tardis sitting in an alley! I admit even that was exciting to me at the time.

I'm already so excited for this series, so the teaser just added to that for me. I actually thought it did quite a good job of setting out its stall: the focus will be, as others have said above, on the companions to begin with, and there were some light-hearted touches in there too.
I hope there is a lot of focus on the companions and their 'real life' existence alongside the adventures with the Dr. Russell T Davies was a master at that with the Rose Tyler backstory with her Mum and boyfriend etc, that added a real texture to the characters.

And the Doctor as Jesus figure - I'd like to see them more spiky and ambiguous.

I agree that it has been done pretty poorly / arbitrarily in later seasons, but the way it was done with Rose Tyler I thought was very unique and special - more of a long-form character development, which I think was enhanced by seeing lots of the life she left behind. Hopefully they'll find a middle ground - I'm excited by the casting, I think they'll pull it off. Bradley Walsh reminds me of a sort of Bernard Cribbins in the 60s companion.

I'd say no Daleks or Cybermen from what the new producer says in the Guardian:
“If you’ve never seen Doctor Who, or want to introduce your children or family and friends to it, this series is the perfect point to start,” Chibnall told Radio Times. “It was really important to me that there’s no barrier to entry. You don’t need to know about anything that’s come before. We’ve got a new Doctor, all-new characters, all-new monsters, all-new stories. It’s going to be exciting, emotional and the most enormous fun.”

I thought there was a contractual agreement with the BBC and the Terry Nation Estate that the Daleks had to feature at least once every season? Or is that one of those urban myth thingies like story of the time Patti LuPone let someone finish a call during the overture.

According to Stephen Moffat that's a myth, but then again the Daleks HAVE appeared every year (sometimes just as a brief cameo) so who knows. I suspect they will still appear in the shock cliffhanger to the penultimate episode.

The all-new stories thing to me just suggests no hold-overs from story arcs in previous seasons. Absolutely no reason why you couldn't have a stand-alone Dalek episode, as I suspect they will, or at least a Dalek cameo somewhere along the lines. As long as they don't then establish a new Dalek story arc off the back of it.....

Terry Nation's estate had some contractual clause about the Cybermen, he is acknowledged whenever they are used. The Daleks went several years without appearing in the late 1970's possibly because Tom Baker had already had a few stories with them and was still the Dr.

There's definitely no pact between the BBC and Nation Estate. Quite the opposite - the Daleks vanished from Dr Who in the early 70s because Nation was trying to sell a rival Dalek series to the US

The relationship between Terry Nation and his estate with the BBC has fluctuated through the years. Certainly there was no once a year agreement back in the days of the old series. There was a 5 year gap between appearances in the late sixties/early seventies. Pertwee got three Dalek stories, Baker only two and then the remaining classic Doctors got one each.
That doesn't mean there isn't a once a year agreement now, though it has been denied. Certainly there are restrictions on their use. RTD didn't know if he'd be able to use them when he brought the show back and the recent classic Who marathon on Twitch skipped the non Terry Nation written Dalek stories even when it was just a small appearance.
And yes he didn't have anything to do with the Cybermen.
