Doctor Who is back. It’s finally back.

It’s been off our screens for just over a year, but it feels like forever. Series 11 has been a long time coming, and it’s about time. The show returns with a new showrunner in Broadchurch's Chris Chibnall, a new Sunday night timeslot and, of course, a brand new Doctor.

Jodie Whittaker has stepped into the shoes of the Doctor, replacing Peter Capaldi as the Time Lord (now Lady) and getting a few new friends in the process. With a new showrunner, a new Doctor, new companions, and a new theme, the show has well and truly regenerated, and it's left looking a heck of a lot better, if not entirely flawless.

Now we knew that Chibnall and co. had gone all out on the new series, but blimey. The new lenses, sets, the lighting; this has made Doctor Who look the best it has ever looked.

Remember when you first watched Day of the Doctor, a special the BBC threw a ton of money behind since it was a big event? It all looked so sleek and crisp, and this is the aesthetic we’ll be getting for the next nine episodes of the series. It looks utterly gorgeous.
