Aaaaaaaand there's good evidence (gif of the opening sequence) that seems to indicate episode two is out there somewhere. Nicely done if the gif is a fake, but, considering what's already happened, I think it will be available sooner rather than later.

Well well. Hit me up if you run across it as well.

Will do. I'm scouring my usual haunts to try to find it.

Over 2000 years? He was ~900 for most of the show, then 1200 after the Lake Silence events, and then he aged another 300 years in Night of the Doctor. Where'd the extra 500+ years come from?

Can I get a link to the leak too? I heard the first episode was leaked but don't know where.

Speaking specifically of the trailer, the CGI still looks bad and Capaldi's attempts to stifle his accent aren't nearly as convincing as Tennant's were but what I will say is Jenna Louise Coleman is near profoundly gorgeous and I'd follow that into the Doctor's grave or whatever the fuck happened in the last season. Did that even happen? I swear its not been mentioned again since. Steven Moffat lol

It looks like so far the content of that gif is all that can be confirmed for episode two. Maybe they didn't manage to grab everything when they had the chance. I'm remaining hopeful, however. I'll PM you the link. Also, fair warning I forgot to mention earlier, the workprint is in black and white.

I absolutely agree on Jenna. Ben Wheatley gave us a number of lovely close-ups of her in episode one.

Capaldi sort of sounds part-time Scottish to me. It's clear he's sort of using his natural accent (and it's commented on directly that he's Scottish now) but I can't shake the feeling it's been curbed dramatically for people who can't penetrate dialogue that stilted. (Certain segments of America, for example.)

Thanks for the link!

Maybe it's because I'm English and I know Scots but Capaldi doesn't sound Scottish in the least. Compare that to this

it doesn't sound like he has an accent at all, just a weird awkward blend of American English and his own accent being strangled.

It comes out during the episode periodically, but never as pronounced as his normal accent. It's there, sometimes and other times not, but when the accent does make an appearance it's almost ridiculously, and sadly, subdued. I hope it gets thicker as the series progresses, though I don't really expect it to.

It doesn't help that whatever accent he's trying doesn't sound good at all. Tennant's Who accent was so convincing it always shocks me a little when you see him slip back into his natural accent. And so although it annoys me he had to subdue a natural, attractive, accent at least he made something of it. Going by the trailer Capaldi just doesn't.

No, I agree, but I think the poor guy is being hobbled by either the production staff or someone at Worldwide who is worried about selling it with a heavy accent. Be Scottish, I imagine he might have been told, but don't be Scottish.

Edit: I guess, basically what I'm saying is that we know Capaldi can more skillfully manipulate his accent than he is showing so far in Who. So I think the problem is likely either in direction (which I doubt with Wheatley) or the putting their oar in from someone higher up the food chain.
