Your next "Doctor‘s" appointment is slated for this summer.

Indeed, "Doctor Who" will return August 2014 with the newest incarnation of the famous Time Lord, the show’s official Twitter account announced on Friday.

"BREAKING NEWS! The new series of #DoctorWho starts August, 2014!"





Peter Capaldi (Torchwood, World War Z) takes over the titular role from Matt Smith. The Twelfth Doctor’s look finds him “weaving the future from the cloth of the past,” the actor previously described.

“Simple, stark, and back to basics. No frills, no scarf, no messing, just 100 per cent Rebel Time Lord.”

With its August start date fast approaching, the slow drip feed of news on Doctor Who series eight is intensifying. Yet for all the anticipation surrounding it, maddeningly little is really known about Peter Capaldi’s first season.

Those scraps that the production team have thrown us, like the Twelfth Doctor’s costume and the announcement that Ben Wheatley (Sightseers, A Field in England) will be directing Capaldi’s inaugural outings, have been well received.

But what if that’s not enough? What if, when it comes to our screens, series eight is a little less than stellar? Impossible, you might think! And you’d probably be right.

so, Orphan Black is done for the season, they don't really have anything good airing right now and they are holding Doctor Who off until after summer is over?

BBC America is just going to be a complete waste this summer - nothing but reruns of Star Trek, Top Gear and Kitchen Nightmares for the next two months.
