locker_monster | Peter Capaldi is leaving Doctor Who :-( (Reply)

I'm sure you've all seen the news. I had really hoped Peter would carry over once Moffat left, but alas, it's not in the cards.

I adore Twelve. I don't know what it is. At first, he was too brash for my liking, but he really grew on me as season eight went on. By season nine, he was this wonderfully grumpy man who could still dismiss you with a few words, but you never doubted his kindness and compassion, and my god, he looked great when rocking out with a guitar. I hope the guitar playing comes back for season ten. I also hope that season ten is a worthy exit for Twelve and for Peter Capaldi. If they're still filming episodes, hopefully they can cater some of the plot lines to wrap up any loose ends, rather than having all of the resolution in the Christmas special.

I guess the BBC got its wish. The rumour was that they wanted a new Doctor for when Chibnall takes over. Does this mean that Bill and Nardole are only around for one season? Kind of sucky if that turns out to be the case. I mean, I know change is a part of the show's DNA, but you don't always have to do a clean slate.

And now the speculation begins about who will play the next Doctor...
