‘Doctor Who’ season 8, episode 1 spoilers: Further details on ‘Deep Breath’

Want to get an even greater sense of what lies ahead on “Doctor Who” season 8? Well, we’ve got some more details on the show’s first episode back to give you an even better sense of what lies ahead.

The upcoming episode carries with it the title of “Deep Breath,” and this is a story that is all about basically the deep past and the future at the same time. How else can you describe a story that involves dinosaurs, spaceships, and strains that are put on relationships? It’s really quite a combination of bizarre things, which is exactly what we love from the show.

If you do want to get some further details right now on what you can expect, we suggest just taking a look at the synopsis below:

“When the Doctor arrives in Victorian London he finds a dinosaur rampant in the Thames and a spate of deadly spontaneous combustions. Who is the new Doctor and will Clara’s friendship survive as they embark on a terrifying mission into the heart of an alien conspiracy? The Doctor has changed. It’s time you knew him.”

This episode is meant to be feature-length, and thanks to that you will likely get plenty of opportunities to learn who Peter Capaldi’s version of the character really is … and also his new relationship with Clara. She is going to be frightened of this man in many ways, especially when you consider that this same man used to be her friend. This only makes things worse.
