And these teasers just keep coming, this time with hinted Daleks, and that voice does sound like Davros :P

 
Looks like some scripts got leaked, not going to look for them myself.

Spoiler tag below is of an enemy that is due to return in this series.

Cybermen will return this series http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/tv/s7/doctor-who/news/a581170/peter-capaldi-to-face-the-cybermen-in-doctor-who-series-8.html#~oJsvLFotOupRQm
 
I've pretty much stopped watching Doctor Who in the middle of series 6 and only watch a few of 7 and others because it's become so formulaic and predictable. There's always Daleks and Cybermen for the end baddies no matter what, and the plots have become so purposely convoluted and explained away simply with "~~~time magic~~~" and it's just ugh, idk, it just seems completely lame and uncreative and forced and ugh. It's also advertized to hell here, with like each episode being treated like a complete cinematic experience and entire film on its own with a ton of promotional images and hype and it's just fuck it's a fucking episode of what's now a basic sci-fi show like chill out dudes. To me, Doctor Who has simply become just another Hot Topic fad, just like The Nightmare Before Christmas and Invader Zim, which is sad because I really enjoyed the first few series of the 2005whatever reboot.
 
they've actually reduced the dalek usage as the last enemies of the season recently. It went like this:
First Season: Daleks
Second Season: Daleks and Cybermen
Third Season: The Master
Fourth Season: Daleks
Specials: The Master
Fifth Season: Daleks, Cybermen, Judoon, Autons, and basically everything else
Sixth Season: The Silence
Mid-Seventh Season: Weeping Angels
End-Seventh Season: The Whispermen and the Great Intelligence
Then there were the other two episodes near the end for the 50th anniversary and the doctor's 13th regen, which included the Daleks, but that was mainly based around the time war, which the Daleks were a pivotal part in. The Daleks weren't even the major villain in the 50th, that would go towards the Zygons, and even in the time of the doctor, they were teamed up with every other enemy of the doctor.
they do use Daleks a lot, but they're iconic in the essence that they're one of the doctor's oldest and longest running enemies. Within the Moffat era, he's tried to reduce the predictability of reusing the Daleks over and over, instead just making different enemies the villains near the end of the season. It was Davies who used the predictable elements of the Daleks being the major villains, and tried to change it by using the Master, then alternating between the two. Much like the older seasons, I would like to see a larger rotation of enemies as the end villains of the seasons this time around.
 
Sanjeev Bhaskar is going to be in an episode, other guest stars include Michelle Gomez, Frank Skinner, Ben Miller, Tom Riley, Keeley Hawes and Hermione Norris.

My hype level is rising.
 
Well, I suppose it depends which version of the Cybermen we're talking about. The "Nightmare in Silver" supra upgrade-in-progress fun fair bots, or those old terrestrial bots?

God I will miss the Master. John Simm was pretty funny imo.
 
Here's some news on Episode 2
