Peter Capaldi On Being A Doctor Who Fan | Doctor Who: The Fan Show

[@lightkikib3355]

2:20 I'm so happy that he got his wish for the Series 10 finale... him saying "Mondasian Cyberman" on-screen, while being in-character... must've been a blast for him!

[@lewisb9226]

Not only was his wish for the mondassian cybermen to return granted, but also in the "genesis" type story he suggested here!

[@alicec1533]

@@lewisb9226 AND he also predicted the Cybermasters

[@EalesOnWheels]

3:06 He predicted The Timeless Children 3:22 He predicted his own series finale

[@perlgirl26]

He predicted the Cybermen becoming part Time Lord, but instead of access to Time and Space, which they kind of already have, they could regenerate.

[@appleoutlaw]

So he basically predicted what the season finale is about XD

[@why_pen]

apple outlaw no, they wrote that for him! They knew he wanted that and wrote the finale, gave him an ending he fantasized about! It really warms my heart how they did that

[@thewhoaddicts]

I could just sense that Christel was trying her best to keep her cool through out that entire interview but probably screamed the very second Capaldi left the room. I would have loved to hear more! I was hoping he'd give his opinions on my favourite classic story...'Inferno'. - James

[@pinoypizza]

That's one of the things I love about Capaldi; he's just as much an uber fan as all of us, and he's watched from the very beginning. I couldn't have asked for a better "first" Doctor. He and Colin Baker should do a vid about looking back on Classic Who together.

[@TheRedCreeperTRC]

nepomusik Colin Baker is also a fantastic Doctor in my opinion, often unjustly hated.

[@pinoypizza]

TheRedCreeperTRC Yeah, couldn't help but feel sorry for him in that recent DWM interview. Reason I bring him up is because he also watched Who from the very beginning. Main difference being that at that time, Peter was still a kid, while Colin was already studying law.

[@TheRedCreeperTRC]

nepomusik That's true, he was also a true fan when he entered the roll. And his recent crowdfunded project shows he still has a passion for sci-fi.

[@pinoypizza]

He was the first I watched on a regular basis, aka my "gateway" Doctor. I became a fan during the period between Time of the Doctor and Deep Breath, but while I read up on the show, I opted to wait for Capaldi to start his run before I started watching any visual Who media.

[@LordSlarr]

nepomusik He and Colin Baker should do an audio, those two doctors would go great together.

That's because he's this thing, a very rare thing these days, a fan.

[@vullord666]

Rhys Parton and he’s such a genuinely nice and good fan too. Look at most DW fans (or most fans in general). They are so mean and elitist; they have so many criteria for being a “true fan”; they’ll never allow opinions that disagree with their own and spend 20 years talking about how X writer and X story destroyed the show forever. I mean maybe Capaldi has those thoughts too, but he doesn’t spend eons parading the internet to enforce his opinions. He just loves the show and likes to show his love; a lot of fans love the show, but choose to show hate and toxicity towards everything they don’t agree with

[@hawktalon7890]

Anyone else have Peter Capaldi as one of thier favorite Doctors?

[@gpgara]

The Tardis Pony He's my second favourite, tied with Christopher Eccleston. My absolute favourites are Tom Baker tied with David Tennant.

[@Lythgoemania]

The Tardis Pony 3rd favourite after Hartnell and Troughton. If his character and the writing remains as good as it was in S8 for the rest of his tenure, he might end up being my all time favourite.

[@ElevenMisrule]

The Tardis Pony Yep - he's my favourite - I love how he rolls Tom Baker, Hartnell and David Tennant all into one silver-haired package. My next two are Tom and David, followed by Pertwee (and what I love about him is the same as what Peter loves - when I was a kid, I'd watch and Jon's Doctor would come into a room, and you'd kind of relax, it was "oh, the Doctor's here. It's all going to be OK.") and then Smith. That's my top 5.

He's a Whovian who knows his stuff.And pls,if you ever get a chance to see his 2 short films, they're brilliant. His Cricklewood Studio faux documentary is awesome. It even has a Goodies reference. His wife is so lucky.I am VERY jealous.

Capaldi hit the screen! l think in order of actors as the Doctors, he is now before Tenant and Smith yet after Tom Baker for her. She was so impatient while l was trying to locate the episodes in order because he is that good! The BBC should really get their act together and keep him as doctor who for the longest time possible because in this silver haired man, they have a golden actor worth treating as so in the most legendary alien part known in the universe!

My interview with Peter Capaldi. Sort of. 3:44 Christel Dee: "It's raining outside, there's nothing to watch on TV, which Doctor Who adventure do you pop into the DVD player to cheer you up?" Peter Capaldi: "Well, Death in Heaven was a great story, full of great actors and the plot was great. One of my favourites of the eight hundred or so episodes has to be Deep Breath. Or The Caretaker, I think the character of the caretaker was presented really well." Christel Dee: "Who is your favourite Doctor?" Peter Capaldi: Err, it has to be number thirteen. Or fourteen. Or twelve, it's really very... distracting. Hartnell was one of my favourites, but in first place, it'd have to be that chap after Matt Smith. He was brilliant, I loved him as a kid. I still do!"

[@kivimik]

@@zbaksh101 Well, Christopher Eccleston recorded for them now, so you never know...

[@ZachsMind]

I get chills from this. To hear from the mind and lips of the actor himself that he's a fan and truly appreciates the history of the series. While Capaldi is not yet my fave doctor, he's fast becoming my favorite actor portraying the Doctor. I still love Tom Baker and David Tennant's performances, but Capaldi's pushing his way up the ranks to maybe be in the top three or five by the time he's done. Excellent grasp of the character, which I feel is something Eccleston kind of lacked. While Smith might have been from a marketing standpoint what Doctor Who needed to bring in a younger audience, Capaldi gives so much pathos to the role while also showing a vulnerability, and I see glimpses of the previous incarnations in Capaldi's performance. It's like he's channelling the other actors. Not like he's blatantly impersonating them, but he sneaks in a little bit here and there of what he remembers from past performances that he loved. Definitely done his home work. It's great to know that, like we the audience, he's loved this role since childhood and is truly riding this tiger into the depths of hell and heights of heaven and wherever it takes him. What a ride this must be for him.

I like Peter Capaldi's answer to the last question but I also like how The Doctor answered it. From "The Power of Three" "I'm not running away. But this is one corner… of one country, in one continent, on one planet that’s a corner of a galaxy that’s a corner of a universe that is forever growing and shrinking and creating and destroying, and never remaining the same for a single millisecond. And there is so much, so much to see, Amy. Because it goes so fast. I’m not running away from things, I am running to them. Before they flare and fade forever."

[@Jaqen-HGhar]

Corey Dolan yeah that was brilliant and the way Matt delivered it was amazing. Matt Smith is an amazing actor who was bogged down by some terrible writing at times. I think it showed in the 50th when he held his own with Tennant and Hurt. He wasn't my favorite Doctor but he was a joy to watch.

[@Jaqen-HGhar]

***** It really is just memorization. You'd be surprised what you can retain, especially through repetition. I mean look at stage actors (I am one) they can retain entire 5 act plays with whole monologues. Now granted they have a lot more time to memorize those then say a TV actor does when shoot a series such as this but as you say they can also call for a line and cut. For the most part they only need to remember the lines for that specific day and those scenes they are shooting. It's not terribly difficult. Capaldi probably has the toughest job especially with speeches gets.

[@Jaqen-HGhar]

***** yeah they get dailies which are just chunks of the script that they are going to be shooting ahead of time so they can memorize that bit. Now if there is a change in shooting schedule or something changes on short notice and they are handed changes on set then directors are more lenient on them. There are tricks that you learn along the way to memorizing the lines more quickly and they don't stay in your head very long. Most of the lines you learn will be forgotten almost immediately after your done shooting or with the play or whatever your doing due to the nature of the memorization.

[@ashleyburton3763]

Besides the fact that he's an absolutely brilliant actor, I think that Doctor Who has struck gold with Capaldi in that he's so willing to promote the show and so kind to fans, because he's such a fan himself. Hopefully this means he'll stick around for a while longer as the Doctor; while I loved Matt Smith, I was disappointed in his choice to leave when he did. I think the show could really use the stability of having an actor established as the Doctor for longer than three seasons. Capaldi could definitely be the one :)

Like Jon Pertwee, I could listen to Peter all day! I love the Mondasian Cybermen idea, hope the writers are watching!

[@GreatlyAffected]

I hope that somehow the invasion/ revenge Cybermen come back in that form, like in audio, it would be EXCELLENT!
