Gatiss: Capaldi Changes Everything, Brings New Rules

Doctor Who writer Mark Gatiss has promised that Peter Capaldi’s Doctor will change everything and that he brings “a whole new set of rules”.

Speaking to Digital Spy, Gatiss said: “The Doctor’s always the Doctor – but you can have a lot of fun playing with people’s expectations

“Everyone knows how the previous Doctor would react in any given situation – and now you just don’t know!”

He adds: “Peter has a very different energy to Matt Smith and to David Tennant. He’s older which changes everything – it’s amazing what a change does!”

“Matt was sublime and I was very sorry to see him go, but it’s also great to have a change – as it has always been with the Doctor.”
