A wiggle of those eyebrows whilst offering jelly babies from an elegant looking cigarette case had me properly..yep The Doctor, amongst many moments, this stands out!
My phone crashed so will resume here on pc proper... He has the same nuance of past doctors, Peter Capaldi carries it off brilliantly...I can believe he has been the doctors in the past, although his (rei)ncarnation is darker, more insecure and very different of course..and visitng an unfamiliar path after being damaged by the events at Trenzalore...he is finding himself, slowly. And I think he hopes Clara can ultimately underdstand this albeit on his part subconciously.. I may be talking mince to most, but this is my opinion. ![]()

Capaldi went off set to grab a pasty and when he came back he was soaked. Apparently he found a big red button and pressed it.
It was a shower. |

I love Capaldi as an actor and as The Doctor.
But the scripts.. . ITFOTN being simply the nadir.

Great Doctor.
I do wonder though if it wasn't for Chris' incarnation and maybe David's and Matt's popularity, Peter can be so wonderful in his incarnation. I mean do you think if Peter came in after Chris the show would have been in jeopardy? It needed the younger actors to bolster its popularity. |

For me, Capldi has made the prog great again. I loved Tennant and Eccleton's portrayal,s but Smith didn't really do it for until the near end. Capaldi however - wow! He's done away with all the loved-up stuff, and is far more Hartnell with his irascible, slight;y grumpy personality. Long may he continue.

I know when I was growing up watching Doctor Who all the actors playing the part were 'old' and it never bothered me. My three children are 18, 15 and 9 and none of them have batted an eyelid at Peter Capaldi. When it was mentioned in the newspaper about him possibly being too old for young people to relate to I asked my 9 year old, and she'd never even noticed. He's just The Doctor to her.

Okay, don't burn me at the stake.
I cannot take to Peter. I really want to, but there is just something missing for me. When he was revealed as the new Doctor, I thought brilliant I cannot wait. He is just not grabbing me, not sure if its the writing or what? I wasn't fussed on Matt but he grew on me as his first season went on. But for some unknown reason Peter is not making me love him. Oh I am not young, I remember Jon and to be honest he did not grab me either. Loved Tom and cried when he left, I was an older teen then!!

The Mighty Tom Baker™ joins the ranks. Quote:
He’s a wonderful choice to play the Doctor. Instantly one felt: this fellow comes from far far away, he’s strange. An instant frisson. And what’s the word? Yes, got it! Alien, he’s an alien. I salute him.”
With Armando IannucciQuote:
He has great gravitas, but he can flick in a second to moments of beautiful slapstick. The recent episode featuring 2D creatures [Flatline], where he was trapped in a tiny Tardis, was a perfect moment of silly comedy that it would have been easy to mess up. Then the episode ended with him addressing those creatures – 'This planet is under my protection.' It was a tremendously cathartic moment for the Doctor, I think, but it’s a hard combination for an actor to play, and he nailed it.”
Quote:
Iannucci is considerate enough to offer a tip for Whovians: keep an eye on Capaldi running in the role. “It’s always hilarious. Stop it, pause it and go back. It’ll be worth it every time.”

I was getting my costume fitted and I heard “Where is he where is he!?” And Peter came bounding in, straight from filming as the Doctor. Ollie returns.
He took me onto the TARDIS and I watched. I sat in one of those canvas chairs that you get on film sets, and watched him be The Doctor - live in front of me. It was absolutely fantastic… a real treat.” ” — Chris Addison on his greeting onto the set of Doctor Who |

I loved him from the first moment he appeared as The Doctor. I agree with Tom Baker - he is an alien Even though he's spent centuries helping humans and living with humans he's still very much an alien and Peter plays that brilliantly. I've watched for a very very long time too since right at the end of Patrick Troughton. I didn't see Sylvester McCoy or Paul McGann so I can't compare them, but for me Peter Capaldi is right up there with one of the best, if not the best.Some people really like Christopher Ecclestone but I didn't like him and was glad he bowed out after one series to let decent actors take over. |

Why? I don't understand this idea that young viewers can't cope with an older actor in the part. For children anyone over the age of 20 is old anyway aren't they

No you misunderstood me. Children can accept more than adults. I mean do you think if Peter took over from Chris that he would have garnered the mass appeal of the younger (more handsome) doctors to pull in the casual viewers? Peter now has the capacity to do his 'thing' due to legacy of the other more goofier doctors.
I am posing the question btw not stating it as fact. ![]() I think he would have because he's so good in the part. Whoever plays The Doctor needs to be able to make the character his own regardless of age (or looks). Mind you as far as I'm concerned anybody is better than Ecclestone. |

They've not been looking properly then. He's not constantly miserable, and he has a lovely twinkle in his eye at times. I think I love him more each episode

If only he wasn't being written as if on the periphery until the last moment. Totally fed up because they have an absolutely brilliant actor, as a sort of backdrop, to a mind bogglingly boring romance.

The Radio Times Poll Results Quote:
Peter Capaldi a good Doctor? ( Poll Closed )
Amazing - he's the best Doctor ever 42.52% Good - but he's not my favourite 37.53% It's too early to tell - I'm still undecided 12.03% Rubbish - bring back Matt Smith 8% "However, Moffat acknowledged that some might have found it harder to warm to this darker Doctor, and said it was all part of the plan. “This has been different and designed to make you go: ‘I don’t trust him yet, I don’t know what he’s like - what’s he going to do next?’ |

Capaldi has said he doesn't want to regenerate too soon and would have his Doctor meet Martin Luther King
