Well if that's true then surely there's absolutely no reason to think that he will keep it for the role once filming starts again when he never has before.

True, just wishful thinking

Well if they ever get to do a series based on the further adventures of Father Shandor from the Hammer films, originally played by Andrew Keir (Quatermass and the Pit, Dalek Invasion Earth 2150), I think they should look no further than Peter.
I used to love reading the Father Shandor, Demon Hunter comic strip in the Warrior comic magazine back in the mid 1980s

Damn, now I really want a series of Father Shandor!!

I wouldn’t think so, no. A beard may look good on Capaldi in The Musketeers, but for Doctor Who, IMO it doesn’t.

Besides, the Doctor is generally not a beard person. He only had a beard in The Leisure Hive because of an experiment that went wrong, causing him to look elderly.

Also, towards the end of The Day of The Moon, the only reason the Eleventh Doctor had one, was because he couldn’t shave, having been held prisoner for a while.

He had just a goatee in Musketeers.

The BEARD looks awesome and should stay The red velvet jacket looks awesome and should stay

The two together - woah .... what the ... ! Just doesn't seem right

That’s the same thing, isn’t it?

Not exactly. A goatee is just one type of beard. All goatees are beards, but not all beards are goatees. Beards go from the bushy natural "caveman" look (which seems to be quite fashionable at the moment) to the neatly trimmed Noel Edmonds type with every possible variation of facial hair patterning that's possible in between.
