Okay but what I like about this the most is how we don't know if it was the fact that Clara's back when he thought they parted ways for good or the fact that Missy is alive when he thought she was dead that made him so happy. Bur he was looking at both of them and called them his friends and started playing Pretty Woman them. He loves them equally, on different ways, but equally.

What makes you think that the doctor has regenerated every 2 series? Chris:1 series David:3 series and a couple of specials Matt:3 series And many classic doctors have stayed on for years and years as well. I think it would be a waste if they didn't use Capaldi for atleast one more series

Series 8 was most certainly a character, just a very alien one that was by no means written to be at all likeable- from Series 9 onwards, Moffat realised that you can't make a Doctor flat-out unlikeable and expect DW to retain good ratings and so changed up his personality.

The Twelfth Doctor was very my first Doctor. This incarnation is very special to me, through this Doctor, I watched the entire runs of the Tenth Doctor and the Fourth Doctor. So Twelve, Ten and Four are my all time favourite Doctors; and it all started with Twelve and this awesome clip.
