This month, Doctor Who magazine goes behind the scenes of Doctor Who Live, the special show which finally revealed the identity of the Twelfth Doctor. The mag features interviews with the people who made it happen, including show runner Steven Moffat, presenter Zoe Ball and producer Russell Minton… and there’s also has an exclusive letter from Peter Capaldi himself!
Steven Moffat tells DWM, "He’s always looked like Doctor Who, how has this taken us so long?! Because the moment you say his name, you go ‘Of course!’ Because he’s got the hair, and he’s got the look, he’s brilliant, he’s known to be a fan, of course it’s bloody him!"
