Peter Capaldi as the 12th Doctor

To commemorate the first day of shooting for Series 8 of Doctor Who, the BBC has released the first on set picture of Peter Capaldi as the 12th Doctor. The BBC added a note describing the image and the mood on the set during the first day of shooting:

The first image shows Peter in the Eleventh Doctor's costume, alongside co-star Jenna Coleman, who plays Clara. Arriving on set for his first full day, Peter said "New job, first day, slightly nervous. Just like the Doctor, I'm emerging from the TARDIS into a whole other world.", while executive producer and lead writer Steven Moffat heralded the beginning of "the Capaldi era".

The BBC also revealed the cover of Doctor Who Magazine #469, featuring another image of Capaldi as the new Doctor. The issue will feature the first full interview with Capaldi since he took over the role from the 11th Doctor, Matt Smith. The new issue of Doctor Who Magazine will be available on January 9th, 2014. Filming for Series 8 of Doctor Who will continue into August, 2014.
