peter capaldi IS the doctor. yes, he is the most talented storyteller who ever happened to play the doctor. the way he delivered speeches was stunning, but he was even better whenever he told a story just with his eyes, his face, his body language. yes, his doctor had this character development and mr. capaldi nailed it. yes, his outfits never felt like costumes but they suited him naturally. yes, he made the doctor alien again. he reminded us, that the doctor is not a human, but a time lord, a life form from another planet with totally different cultural and physical background. but the most important reason, why he IS the doctor is a simple one: mr. capaldi treated the whovians and the whoniverse with respect and dignity. he lived the legacy of 50 years storytelling and he knew, that he (and not the role) has to be a role model for children, juveniles and adults alike. whenever you watch his interviews you get a glimpse of the humble dignity he represented. he wouldn't have become that fantastic actor without growing up with doctor who. and he just added his own personality to this universe. thank you, peter capaldi. just thank you.

The Doctor is not human, he never mastered human emotions in the classic series and he certainly was not user friendly. I think the new fans grew used to Tennant and Smith, the romantic subplots with the companions and the simplistic morality - Capaldi (like Eccleston) was more like the Classic Doctors and his arc of being the grumpy, manipulative and morally vague Doctor (for instance the strong implication that he actively killed the Clockwork man in Deep Breath) moving through to his mentoring of Bill in his final season made for a more interesting character. Some of the writing in his time was poor, but I couldn't imagine any other actor who has played the Doctor making Heaven Sent work. Capaldi was an excellent Doctor.

not all the doctors in classic who were grumpy. some were light-hearted and funny at times, or learned to be. Two and Four were overall very light and fun. in that, smith's doctor had just as much in common with some classic doctors, and he was also morally ambiguous. also, like classic doctors, Eleven was very alien, and didn't often rely on his companions to always be saving him, but often used his older knowledge. he had the classic doctor's internal independence. He also was the first in the new who doctors to present the doctor's age in his mannerisms. I just think that people look at Eleven in the wrong way and don't fully analyze him as much as they do the others, for the sake of presenting an image of him that they want to present rather than the image that was really there. either way I like Smith and Capaldi's doctor a lot.

I gotta say, I think you're missing a crucial reason behind his series 8 identity crisis - Day of the Doctor! His four previous incarnations had had their identities defined by the Time War, and the last three by guilt over what he'd done to end it. But now...it turns out he hadn't. That organizing principle he'd been leaning on for hundreds of years was gone. It's no wonder that, after a regeneration when the Doctor usually does a little soul-searching anyway, he'd find himself a bit lost.
@bohdan_lvov5 жыл бұрын
Yup, and in the novelization of Day of the Doctor by Moffat himself it's stated that this incarnation was the last to cope with Time War itself - by sending Gallifrey into safety and saving all the people on it, and by finally achieving the peace of mind after the war, symbolically crawling from a crater on a battlefield just to regenerate into 13th, which will continue being the Doctor, but with all this grief processed already and definitely know, that she's the Doctor not because she *is* the Doctor from a promise: never cruel, or cowardly, etc.; but because she's *trying* to be it, and that's what really important. Moffat LITERALLY wrapped up whole 10 seasons arc, and that's a shame that it didn't get to the TV cut.
@GehtEuchFckn5 жыл бұрын
I also think, that 11 partly deleted his memories about the time war. There are several hints, that he did: After the Ponds die he becomes really an asshole until he meets Clara. And in several following episodes the idea of deleting memory gets represented a few times. Also when he meets his other reincarnations and they debate being trapped in the tower he reacts kinda guilty by saying he cannot remember how many people died. So it must have been Clara partly bringing back those memories when she jumped into the time vortex and made him face his forgotten reincarnation. From this point on he becomes kinda obsessed with this idea fixing certain qualities. The day of the Doctor is a point in his life were he realizes it is possible to really fix those mistakes, like saving his planet and all people on it.
@goji2535 жыл бұрын
@@GehtEuchFckn I don't think he necessarily "deleted" them or something like that. He just repressed them. He has lived for so long, he started to forget how many people he has "killed". And that is why he feels guilty. Because by now, he is starting to forget what in his mind is the cruellest deed he has ever done. I mean you have to remember that 11 is around 1200 years old. That is 300 years between him and the 10th Doctor. And 400 years younger than the War Doctor was on the day he ended the Time War. He has had a lot of time to forget such details. And I think the fact that he does scares him.

Especially after remembering that gallifrey was stuck in the pocket dimension he was thought to have destroyed. I still think eccleston was 10, not 9. The warrior doctor didn't repair Paul mcgann doc 9, doc 9 died to become the warrior, then he became eccleston. Smith's doctor got all the new regenerative energy after having earned it, then subsequently started over. Capaldi was supposed to be the valeyard, Clara was the impossible girl that saved the universe. By making sure the valeyard never woke up. He was damned close, everyone kept testing him. He finds peace, doesn't change and then in a moment of crisis, brings forth the new actual regeneration. Jodie. I got word that the books and audios are canon. So my bad if you dont get why I said this. But real talk. Number 8 committed suicide thinking to avoid becoming the valeyard in the future. As he took him out in the original timeline.

I adore Capaldi's portrayal of the Doctor, and I'm so glad he was partnered with Stephen Moffat for the length of his run. I know Moffat's era and his style can pitch fans into the debate equivalent of a mosh pit, but he and Capaldi seemed to "get" each other in terms of Twelve's narrative arc. Plus it's apparent Moffat knew he had an amazing actor on his hands, and he created the framework in which PCap could work magic. Twelve's range is phenomenal; I once participated in a Twelve-series rewatch, and we the commenters periodically took breaks from analyzing the episodes in order to rhapsodize about his face. Capaldi could do anything, from mild derangement to goofiness to menace to "Hello, sweetie" to heartbroken compassion to the shark grin to exhausted loneliness. Twelve's evolution required that kind of scope and nuance - and sarcasm - and Capaldi's performance transcends the weakness of any individual script. (I also have to salute his marvelous co-stars and directors, particularly Rachel Talalay.) Sorry, I could go on for paragraphs, but the gist is, I never knew what it meant to have a favorite Doctor until Twelve came along. Your summary explains some of the reasons why, but there's even more to it than that. It's the perfect actor in the perfect role, with a sympathetic showrunner and a shared tragic view of fate, culminating in a Doctor of self-sacrifice and compassion.

I agree with all of this except the fact that he's trying to guard himself. I think he's just broken, he's exhausted, watched so many die. Lost so much. Even when Clara destroys his trust he still helps her, he agrees to find Hell if there is one, just so she can talk to him again. He still cares for her and always did, I don't think he ever felt that closed off. The Zygon speech also shows this more I think. To me, looking at his entire arc, it's more about the damage and pain he's suffered through. The treadmill, the more he saves the universe, the more it needs saving. The softest heart yet.

@@LouieWebb560 it is a pity. I would like to be able to explain all my thoughts, and share my ideas, because I love this show very much, but it's very difficult for me to write in English, so excuse me. As I see, in series 7 The Doctor was going to die, it was the end. It wasn't his problem any more. And then he is again in the beginning, but he knows how dangerous he can be and he is terrified and lost ( I am alone...) or (You are a broom. Question. You take a broom, you replace the handle, and then later you replace the brush, and you do that over and over again. Is it still the same broom?) The story arc in series 8 is about the Master trying to corrupt The Doctor, and its at the end of "Death in heaven" when he realizes that he is still just an idiot with a box. Even though, in the last minute, Missy almost win. (MISSY: Seriously. Oh, Doctor. To save her soul? But who, my dear, will save yours? Say something nice. Please? DOCTOR: You win. MISSY: I know. ) The next story is the Christmas special when basically they "elope". In series 9 (my favorite) The Doctor is basically happy living adventures with Clara. I love how Eleven is a grandad with the face of a child (Matt is soo good, you can see the real age of the character) and Twelve can be so young with an elder face. But then comes the raven, and the amazing "Heaven Sent" and "Hell Bent", the forgotten fears becomes real, and everything changes again. Finally twenty four years with River, and again he is alone. But when series 10 begins you can see another change. The Doctor is charm, people admire him. He is finally in peace with himself, even though there is always a bittersweet point of melancholy, and the story arc is about The Doctor trying to "discorrupt" Missy. And he succeed. And he falls without hope without witnesses, and without reward because virtues is only virtues in extremis. Do you remember Twelve's theme? It's called "A good man?" At the end you realize that the question mark that it is there from the beginning is not necessary anymore. I can't think that the story is inconsistent.

Steven Moffat was inspired by this story. -In the episode Listen the doctor is crying in the barn. In the story Master, After the doctor killed Torvic to save the Master, Death came to him when he was crying in bed. -In the episode The Doctor Falls, the doctor is very motivated for the master to become his friend again. In the story Master, the doctor feels guilt and responsibility for the master being evil, thus why the doctor is motivated to save the master from evil. The doctor says I will save you old friend, one day in the story Master. The Doctor Falls was also inspired by Spare parts and The Two Masters. When you think about it, The Matt Smith era had the Trenzalore arc which consisted of the series arcs. The Peter Capaldi era arc is about the Master becoming the doctor's friend again then turning good, the first series is based on Missy wanting to become friends again, with a cameo of the events of the audio story Master, in the episode Listen where the doctor is crying after killing Torvic. Series 9 was caused by Missy, trying to make the doctor evil like her by making him the hybrid, then series 10 was about the doctor making the Master good like him.

Capaldi brought something truly otherworldly to the role and to this day, after just finishing another rewatch of his run, I can still say that. His Doctor has gotten even better with age.

The Zygon Inversion speech was the first time I saw the Doctor. It was a brilliant scene. My problem is that no actor who's truly worth his salt would have taken 21 episodes to get there. Capaldi's nowhere near as good as everybody builds him up to be. John Hurt became the Doctor in a single episode, despite being the incarnation who actively rejected the name. The only person who didn't see him as the Doctor was himself. He didn't play the character as an arrogant, sociopathic misanthrope like Capaldi did in Season 8, so he was much better suited to the "Am I a good man?" character arc. Hurt would have brought the self-awareness of a man who truly examines his own flaws and mistakes, something that Capaldi lacked. Hell, Capaldi actively projected his negative traits onto Clara and expected her to do all the legwork in their relationship. It was like watching the Valeyard gaslight Colin Baker in Trial of a Time Lord, which would have been brilliant if Michael Jayston had returned or at least been hinted at. The man is still alive so it was such a missed opportunity that we didn't see him working with Missy behind the scenes. Unfortunately, his existence was only acknowledged in a throwaway line in Twice Upon A Time, so Capaldi being the Valeyard for most of his debut season was simply him botching his portrayal of the Doctor because clearly the Valeyard wasn't intended to show up in Season 8.

@@PaulRichards-vz4pl William Hartnell was at a completely different stage in the Doctor's life. No Doctor after the Time War would be the sociopathic shitbag that Peter Capaldi delivered. The Doctor's had a minimum of 2000 years (probably far longer) and 12 lifetimes to develop his moral compass on top of being far more aware of the pain and suffering in the universe than William Hartnell was. Peter Capaldi's performance threw all of that development away so that he could start the whole character arc all over again. He wasn't building on the previous Doctors, he spent his entire 1st season acting like his first regeneration cycle never happened. Even in his 2nd season, he literally needed a flashback to David Tennant just to remind everybody that he's supposed to be the same person. This is why hiring fans can be a bad idea. Peter Capaldi was trying to be William Hartnell all over again but it didn't work because his fanboy boner for Hartnell blinded him to the context of where the Doctor is in life. Plus, Hartnell was considerably more charming and could actually pull off a young man in an old man's body. Remember when he cheerfully told the Celestial Toymaker, one of the most powerful entities in the universe, "You have been defeated" and stepped into the TARDIS with a chuckle? If Capaldi had been doing that, he would have tried to be threatening and it would have ironically made him look weaker than Hartnell's amused handling of the situation. The only reason Peter Capaldi carried any sense of authority when he faced Rassilon in Hell Bent was because he wasn't facing Timothy Dalton. Donald Sumpter made Capaldi look powerful by comparison because he was a pathetic old man who was fully aware of how weak he was. Dalton's delusional confidence in his ability to "ascend" enabled him to actually be menacing.

It's repeated but not really deep in meaning and despite Peter Capaldi being a very good actor, the episode still has flaws. However, the final story of the 10th series is epic with 2 masters and the Genesis of the Cyberman. Despite having flaws, the story truly makes me high every time. While Blink is a unique story where the doctor was truly defeated and the Angels are terrific. This story is as far as I concerned, without a flaw.

I'm really happy to see so many here who appreciated Peter Capaldi's Doctor. I loved him from the start, having watched him cutting up rough and funny in "The Thick of It". But I thought maybe I was just speaking for myself when I said that -- because for me, this was special in a personal way. Capaldi's run occupied the last three years of my husband's decline into Alzheimer's, and we'd been married for 50 years. I spent those years grieving for the marriage we'd had, and this person I loved. Capaldi's Doctor, a person who knew about loss, and how entropy always wins in the end (we die), and what that absence for all the other days that they're still dead. And it's worth noting, I think, that Peter Capaldi's mother died about a month before they began shooting his first DW season; and Steven Moffat's mother died when he was writing "The Lie of the Land" I think (he apologized publicly for not having had time to give it to Peter to comment on or doing a final draft afterward, because he was in the hospital on a deathwatch for his mom). And of course they're both Scottish, so there's that . . . Seriously, they both were dealing with major personal losses during Capaldi's run, and maybe that's part of the reason that the show soothed my busted heart at a very bad time. It reminded me that yes, we all lose people, and we are all lost to people too, in our turn; and that grief and mourning are as relentless as the "monster" in the castle, and you cannot sidestep them when they come to call -- and should not. They only way out is through. Well, I hope that makes sense. And I love the video, too -- thank you, B-WHERE.

He was good, and so were all of them, but he just felt boring for me. 11 was who I started with, so I have a bit of bias. His goofy behaviour made it so much sadder when he broke down. The twelfth doctor however, he was a combination of 11’s grief and pain. It made him to me feel more human but more alien. He was tired. You see him growing to be more like 11 through season nine but it tumbled in the aftermath. Then, he tries to redeem himself by trying to be involved with large groups of humans. This also led to downfall through bill’s death, everything for him just tumbled down. But instead of moping or crying, he rolled with it and bottled up- one of the more human things ever done. He then finishes alone and with a few lines, but he went quietly. Into the now monstrosity that you can call the 13th run. Even if Steven Moffat has his many faults, he isn’t a terrible show runner. Neither is chibnall or Davies. They each have their wins and falls.

I gotta say, I've been watching this show since 1980's, and this is a fantastic theory, and I feel like it's entirely plausible for all the regenerations, including The War Doctor. Good job, kid. I'm impressed. Peter is my absolute favorite Doctor for all the reasons you pointed out. His take was the closest any doctor had gotten to being a "real person", like someone in our existence, outside of fiction. I entirely identified with him on many levels, good and bad, and that resonated deeply with me. I also found out I'm actually part Scottish right before his first episode, so that was a treat when he talks about being glad he could complain about things.

Saw the title and was like about time. I agree Peter probably the best actor we ever got to play the doctor. Heaven sent is the best written in his era and he was amazing in it. BBC made a huge mistake letting him go. We got Whittaker and series 11 both abominations. Glad she and Chibnall are going christmas 2020.

Personality I'm going to miss 13 when she goes, but I'll be excited to see who the next Doctor is going to be, just like I always am 😊⭐

12 is amazing but after so many years I feel loyal still to 4. I was extremely excited when Capaldi got the roll and he never disappointed me.

Same. I've watched heaven sent, under the lake, into the dalek, and several others, and I'm not disappointed. Except for hell bent. That was not very good at all.

I was a fan of the old show and didn’t think anyone could top Tom Baker then Capaldi proved me wrong! As far as I’m concerned the show ended at “Doctor, I let you go.”

Peter Capaldi was my favorite as well, he drew the best from the previous incarnations and spun gold.

Capaldi is absolutely my favourite Doctor (after Tom Baker) for many of the reasons you listed. He had so much development over his three seasons. Whereas Tennant and Smith were basically the same from their first episode to their last. I see his era getting a lot more love these days. I think a lot of people have gotten past the "he's not young and fun" attitude, and if you watch any of the reaction channels on here where people are watching his era for the first time with no pre-conceived opinions, they clearly love him. Great video.

stephen noonan should see my mrs then, good luck in the Retirement home you live in fella, and exactly shows his versatility if he can do a role for 3 seasons in an English accent. Actually funny that you walk around in a star wars t shirt and ac-dc cap too.

I really enjoy your take on Capaldi's run here. I was always very fond of this incarnation and your analysis is pretty spot on. I particularly like the connections you've made between his experiences and the result of his regeneration. I doubt this was what was in the production team's head at the time; however, it is a brilliant way to look at it. Kudos sir.

I became a fan of the show around the end of Matt Smith’s run, so Capaldi’s Doctor was the first one I was there for. He’s my Doctor. His defining moment was definitely his speech about war and pain during the Zygon Inversion and it’s a moment that is so applicable to the world today. And then there’s his speech to the master and missy.

Never thought I'd see someone sum up my reasons for loving Twelve this perfectly. While Capaldi's Doctor is "only" among my top three incarnations I truly love his era, his personal complexity and his development. Like you, I have long ago started to believe that the Doctor subconsciously forms his next body and persona or that, at the very least, his experiences shape his next self. Thank you for making this video. I'm so glad to see others appreciate this incarnation as much as I do. :)

Loved Capaldi as the Doctor - my two favorite seasons are Matt Smith’s first season and Peter Capaldi’s final season. I agree with your theory that regenerations are shaped by his subconscious - I always interpreted the age difference as a response to the War Doctor - when he was running away from what he did, he kept getting younger and younger. Once he reconciled with himself, his next regeneration embraced something more age appropriate. Great video!
