So...
Introduction by the Head of BBC1 and then into the episode.
New titles! Cogs!
Not the greatest storyline, but quite a lot of good scenes, very well played by Capaldi.
The dinosaur is fairly incidental and it's not really explained quite why it's so huge. The plot refers back to one of Moffat's earlier episodes, The Girl In The Fireplace.
Scenes are longer and slower than previous series, and I think that helps hold things together rather than the manic sense that came from the last season or two. Interaction between Capaldi and Coleman is (sensibly) more mature and apparently develops in interesting ways as the series progresses.
Some great lines, "I'm Scottish? So I can complain about things!", and references to the current Scottish independence question.
New Tardis console room - usual line.
Lots of old faces (Vastra et al), Michelle Gomez makes her first appearance at the end too. She's as fabulous as you'd hope.
And there's a "surprise" appearance.
Afterwards there was a Q&A hosted by a critic with Steven Moffat, Jenna Coleman and Peter Capaldi.
Will they be bringing The Master back? No.
Who else would Capaldi have liked to see play the Doctor if he hadn't got the part? It wasn't the time for anyone else.
Did Capaldi consider a different accent? No, it's about making the Doctor part of him.
That'll do for now.
Here's a picture of the top of Peter Capaldi's head while he was signing autographs for the queue of fans afterwards.
