If there are any of you out there yet to be convinced by the Twelfth Doctor, it’s bad news: there will be no regeneration in the Christmas special!
Yes, Peter Capaldi will be returning for Series 9, as confirmed by Steven Moffat to the Hollywood Reporter. at yesterday’s Series 8 DVD launch event.
With a simple “Yes, he’s confirmed,” Steven Moffat put the minds of fans around the world at rest. This confirmation follows tabloid-sparked rumours that the 55 year old actor would only be starring in the TARDIS for a year. Of course, signing up for a year or a group of years with the flexibility to review the arrangement annually is par for the course for Doctor Who and other long-running TV shows. To be honest, we always wondered why people make such a fuss about it.
However, the fate of Clara is less clear, with Steven Moffat saying little other than Jenna Coleman was yet to sign on for another series.
This might be because the actress has been cast in another show; alternatively, he Moffat may prefer to obfuscate the situation in order to create mystery around the 2014 Christmas special.
We’ll have to wait and see what time tells us on that score…
