Peter Capaldi can be seen filming some of his first Doctor Who scenes in new on-set pictures.
Capaldi - who replaced Matt Smith as the BBC drama's lead at Christmas - is currently filming his first episode, with transmission planned for late 2014.
Jenna Coleman will return as companion Clara in Doctor Who's eight series, which will also feature a reappearance from recurring allies Vastra (Neve McIntosh), Jenny (Catrin Stewart) and Strax (Dan Starkey).
Head writer and executive producer Steven Moffat has described Capaldi's new incarnation of the Doctor as an "old beast" distinct from Matt Smith's "puppy dog" Time Lord.
Moffat has penned Doctor Who's eighth series premiere, which will be directed by Sightseers and A Field in England filmmaker Ben Wheatley.
A ninth series is also expected to air as a single uninterrupted run on BBC One in 2015.
