The BBC shared the clip which showed Capaldi's final moments, and the introduction of a happy-faced Whittaker in the role.
And, naturally, fans were overjoyed with the new regeneration'ed Doctor's arrival, and instant cliff-hanger punchline:

With Stephen Moffat, who helped redirect the show's future when he joined the writing crew in 2004, now bowed out of the series, it will be interesting to see where the show goes next.
And, more importantly, when it will arrive, as the new season doesn't have an arrival date yet.
Watch this space... and time...
