The season 8 premiere episode of Doctor Who, entitled "Deep Breath," has an air date set for this Saturday, August 23, 2014 and the BBC just released some great new images from the premiere to get us even more excited. We've seen a handful of teasers, and extended trailer and even some interviews, but these images from the first episode of the year and Peter Capaldi's series-leading role have us ecstatic for the weekend!

Thanks to the wonderful BBC and the official Doctor Who Facebook page, we have a nice group of images from "Deep Breath" to share with you! It looks like we'll see some familiar season 7 characters returning right away in season 8, which is of course more than welcome for us Whovians.

It's so nice to see Madame Vastra back in action after the 50th anniversary special. Plus Strax is back as well! Though we don't see her in any of these new photos, we can assume Jenny Flint will be back for another adventure this weekend, too!

Of course we also see some shots of Clara and the Doctor in the upcoming episode. The following photos show us that they take on the wardrobe of whatever period they're visiting, and they look pretty cool!

Let's take a look at these photos and see what we can find out about the upcoming episode:
