Christ I love this guy and his doctor is my all time favourite, how did he just say 'No I won't come back' and make it seem not only acceptable, but actually makes you go 'Oh yeah, that makes sense', without upsetting or offending anyone?
He's my favourite Doctor as well, amazing actor with the perfect understanding and potrayal of the character, I always saw his version somewhat as a "final" or "complete" version of The Doctor. His explanation is bittersweet but totally respectable reasoning. On one hand I know I'd love it if the 12th Doctor popped up again in some form but on the other I'm perfectly content with what he got of him and happy to leave it at that with no chance of ruining it.
@@CJValo I totally agree, if ever they were going to end the show for good, that would’ve been the way. Dying to protect twenty people, not a universe, or a planet or millions of people just twenty odd people
@@CJValoI honestly just love how he played with the more 4th wall element of the doctor. I think he mentioned it once how he pictured that the doctor knows he’s a fictional character so he plays along with whatever comes his way but at his core he’s a hero for countless generations . Like when he pulls out the tea and goes “answer, I’m the doctor, deal with it” honestly it’s just such a fun time of the show. And equally we can thank Moffat for writing the scripts and capaldis iteration
@@tufty1990”pity, no stars” is such an underrated line
The only issue was that he had lazy storylines. He deserved better writing.
Matt may be my favourite Doctor, but Peter is the most "Doctor like" of any of the New Who actors. His portrayal just feels like what the doctor should be in every way
I’ve always seen him as an older version of the 4th doctor which makes sense to me. He’s like a grumpy Tom baker , couldn’t ask for a better portrayal.
cos he didnt fall in love with his companion. that was a big reason why he felt like a classic doctor i think, although 9 was similar also but he felt more attached to Rose especially at the end.
I feel what you mean. Doctor Who began with the Doctor as an older, wise, cranky yet heroic space wizard grandpa, and Capaldi harkens back to those early days. Since Hartnell, the Doctor has become younger (from Davison to Tennant and Smith), more of a conventional "leading man" kind of character capable of action, and I feel we've gotten so used to that in New Who until we got Capaldi. It was definitely a shift, but I came to love it quickly.
@@nixonagnewreviews7206 That was also Capaldi's request that they moved away from Doctor x Companion for his run
@@fkez0510 Yes cos he wanted the dynamic to go back to the original series/1st Doctor with a more familial or neutral dynamic. Good for him!
As much as I’d love to see him again, I respect his decision on why he’s not gonna come back. Either way he will forever be my favourite Doctor ❤
also i think that says something about an actor aswel that you want him back for more. he was an amazing doctor still miss him much better when he was the doctor
To be fair, he did do four and a half billion years...
Inside a confession dial simulation that reset constantly. He was basically stuck in VR lol.
Man it's shame that Peter was underappreciated by the fans and underused by Moffat.
Here is a man who could have delivered a 'Heaven Sent' calibre performance on a weekly basis
Peter Capaldi is a legend. Whenever someone mentions Doctor Who he is the first incarnation that pops up in my mind. I am deeply saddened by the fact that he doesn't want to return but I have massive respect for him and his reasoning. He understands that the show is about death and that returning would cheapen the regeneration. Tho I still think he could come back as a vision or as a guardian of the edge. There are many ways to bring him back without cheapening his exit but again it's his decision and it's a very respectable one.
EDIT: I'm not saying that multi doctor specials cheapen the regeneration (Day of the Doctor is my favorite anniversary special and I didn't like the fact that the 60th was only Tennant). I'm just trying to understand Pcap's view on returning to the show. Tho I hope he does come back eventually and interact with Ncuti.
I hope you don't see any anniversary specials.
LMFAO, you're kidding right, cheapening the Doctor? The Doctor is DEAD dude, the whole show is DEAD! There is nothing to come back to. They sold the shows spirit to woke crowd for a pittance. The humane thing to do now would be to crash the TARDIS into the sun with the Doctor inside, rather than continue with what they now call Dr Who. The first of the so called specials was enough for me to call it quits having watched for over 50 years. lol cheapen the Doctor, that is pure comedy gold right there.
I've already seen most of them (still haven't seen the five doctors tho) but you can keep hoping tho! I love the Day of the Doctor, my favorite anniversary special tbh. But I can see where Peter is coming from. I dont fully agree on it but I respect his decision. Tho I hope he changes his mind.@@luis7010kleine
@@wetsox278Little buddy you've gotta lay off the anti woke channels and go outside a little bit 😂😉
The comedy gold here is how mad you are about all of this 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@andrescarnederes2295 touché
, but that doesn't change that it has gone to pot. Anyway I'll leave you to your "entertainment". Have yourself a good one.
I completely disagree with his idea of multi-doctor specials, The whole point of multi-doctor specials isn’t just a cameo it’s to show how far the Doctor as a character morally and ethically has developed. That’s why the scene in the 50th anniversary “the man who forgets and the man who regrets” was so powerful. It’s the same man we’ve been watching since the 60s and we can go back with his time machine and show you how far he’s developed.
I mean, realistically the whole point is just to get old lead actors back for nostalgic fan service. I don't think any of the other multi-Doctor specials got into how far the Doctor has "morally and ethically" developed.
@@Qarth56 Every single multi-doctor special has. Twice upon a time, the first doctor is longing for meaning trying to find purpose. 12 has found that purpose he’s lost passion.
The 3 Doctors: The First Doctor has one of the most powerful and impactful arcs in the show's history going as far as to find compassion and love in “lesser life forms”. Humanity taught him that. We get to see a doctor still on that arc reflecting on two other doctors who aren’t trying to be that serious.
The 5 doctors we see the biggest contrast between 5 and 1, one being more impatient and grouchy while 5 is super laid back.
I think it's almost impossible to see it like this when most people act like different doctors are new people. When they really aren't they are the same person continuing the arc and growth. Especially when you add on to the fact that each doctor’s next personality is based on the mental state while regenerating.
It really isn’t. It’s just to get the previous ones back for a bit of fun and get people to watch it. What character development was in The Three Doctors or The Five Doctors or The Two Doctors or Timecrash or the 50th? None. If you want to headcanon some weird thing and write essays in UA-cam comments then go for it!
But you don’t need to show it, just compare them yourself! People do it endlessly themselves already.
@@nicolesong6199 The whole point of an anniversary special is to celebrate the past. Having past doctors interact actually gives you concrete insight into the doctor and the past of the show. It highlights on screen we’ve gone from the days of the doctor being a crusty aristocrat to a compassionate hero (this is a reference to the first doctor’s arc). I’d imagine if you took me right now now vs me when I’m 6 years old you’d get similar results to a multi doctor story because I’ve grown and changed as a person. That was the whole point of 11’s final words by the way “we are all different people throughout our lives” what a better way to actually shine a light on that growth for an anniversary celebration.
Imagine if breaking bad had time travel and we could show season 1 Walt interacting with season 5 Walt. Wouldn’t that be something worth watching the interaction of a character who we’ve seen change into someone entirely different but we are also getting a refresher on how far they’ve changed. Doctor who actually has that built in with time travel so it wouldn’t even be as convoluted.
I really hope he does Big Finish
Agree, I think BF would not contradict his idea of the Doctor, and there is plenty of room for imagination in the audio. He likes that. With his highly recognizable voice, he is ideal for the BF, and the BF will be good for him, I believe
He should definetely feature in another multi doctor story. I hope he doesn't come back as a new incarnation of the Doctor though, that would be ridiculous.
Maybe a return visit to the sculptor from Pompeii that he played during the DoctorDonna arc.
I reckon Peter would do Big Finish one day, when he and Jenna are a little less busy...
The man is magic. I love his doctor.
At his very first episode he left Clara and when he returned with a new suit he says he is over 1200 years old so that missing gap is when another special can cameo Capaldi doctor.
You're forgetting the 300 year time jump in name of the doctor when 11 is stranded on Trenzalore without the tardis before 11 regenerates into 12
He says 2000 years old, not 1200. And that's because of the time he spent on trenzalore (around 800 years)
11 was 1200 in the Day of the Doctor.
He's over 2000 after Trenzalore
Really hope we gotta see him again!
I wish if he could came back 😭😭😭😭💔💔💔
Love him ❤ Best Doctor ❤
Spoken like the Doctor, Peter C. It’s okay to let memory suffice. It can be hard to lose things, but they take on new life in memory. If we refuse to let go, can we ever appreciate the complete beauty of what we had to begin with? The Doctor exists in all of our imaginations, and the human mind has the power to dream things more wondrous and real than images on a screen. I’d love for you to visit us again, but if not, I hope you know how much you meant in the time we had you, Doctor :)
I love him so much. I love his love for the show so much. I hope to see him in a special in the future, it’s such a dream come true to him to be part of the show, I think in a few years he won’t be able to resist joining one last time.
Love him. Absolutely love him. Dr Who 1963-2017❤❤
Peter Capaldi and Tom Baker are the very best incarnations of the Doctor 💙
My favourite
A delightful interview- a refreshing listen. Thank you io9 and respects to Peter Capaldi
RTD, please. If you do a Multi-Doctor story, please bring Peter back. So we can see him one more time as the Doctor.
It's never going to happen Peter Capaldi already said he's not coming back as The Doctor atleast not on-screen.
Then… Why did he say he would only return in a multi-doctor story or as a cameo in this video?
End part gave me “Don’t forget to click bellow and subscribe to the official Doctor Who UA-cam Chanel” energy
He was the best for me from the new era but he needs to comeback when RTD is gone
Although my favourite of the Drs since 2005 was Matt Smith I think, when it came to specific stories, Peter Capaldi had some of the best stories ever written for Dr Who i.e. "Hell Bent" + "Heaven Sent" and "World Enough and Time" and "The Doctor Falls", magnificent and the ones I always come back to watch......though I'll never forget the "Angry eyebrows"
I wish they did cameos in Wild Blue Yonder, they could’ve had the Not-Things shift between different versions of the doctor
what’s the point of that
I would love to have more time with him but I understand, respect and appreciate his choice
This is my doctor he was the first ever doctor I saw on series 9 he needs to return hes my doctor :)
He should come back for some big finish audios
He will when the money runs out. Same as Chris.
@@thefonzkiss I don't think the money will run out any time soon for Peter. He's still got quite an active career - Criminal Record streaming now, the 2nd season of The Devil's Hour coming up soon and a 3rd season in the pipeline. And to be fair, Chris still refuses to actually return to DW itself unless major changes are made to the showrunner and other powers that be.
Love this guy
This is his opinion and I completly respect that and accept it. But personally this feels like an excuse. A Doctor that means so much to people coming back just once because other Doctors need help is in my opinion not cheap, it doesn't spoil it, it enhances it. I miss him, his Doctor means more to me than any other and more than anyone could know.
He apparently despises what RTD and chibnall has done,which i can 💯 understand
@@jonylawson73 lol really? What a legend
@@jonylawson73 source?
@@jonylawson73 i call bullshit lmfao
No means no
The last real Doctor
Deep respect for the decision (probably the best as in many cases) but bitter for not seeing him again in the future
Man I wish he had another 1 or 2 seasons. If I had to choose just one single 2005+ Doctor to have gotten an extra season, it would be Capaldi.
Peter is the zenith of Dr who ....they couldnt top him .
It would’ve been great to have had him for a multi doctor story but I really respect his stance even if I want differently than him. And it feels crazy to say it’s been 11 years since Matt Smith was the doctor.
❤❤❤❤
Capaldi is my favorite Dr., but I get it. Guess I’ll go watch Criminal Record now!
Peter, David and matt should be in a film of doctor who
R.I.P Doctor Who 1963 - 2017
How about coming back as The Curator ?
"don't forget to subscribe to criminal record" 😋 best wishes, Peter!
Wow he's aged a lot since he left it seems. Cant believe it's been 6 years already!
Oh my god. You used a Doctor Who edit video for the clips without credit. I can tell because of the zoom ins.
They credited BBC, the production studio that actually made it
To be honest, I would absolutely NOT say no to the 12th Doctor returning for a one-off episode, anniversary special, or spin-off, front and centre as THE Doctor. Returning Doctors don't NECESSARILY HAVE to be in multi-Doctor stories. There's no reason Doctor Who NEEDS to follow the Doctor's timeline strictly in order ALL the time...
❤️
Dont come back Peter, since you left its been a shitshow....
I loved Peter's Doctor and given the current state of Disney Dr Who I'm happy he isn't involved
Wait I'm confused on what he means. Is he saying he would _only_ come back for a cameo or anniversary, or saying that he wouldn't come back _because_ it'd only be for a cameo or anniversary?
He's saying he wouldn't.
@@aec9174 That's a real shame, love Capaldi. Oh well, thanks for the clarification.
I hope so he and Jodie deserve better writing. Jodie wasn't my favorite but near the end she was great.
How about if they just use his eyes and eyebrows?
Peter Capaldi is the best Doctor of modern Who. He knew the Doctor shouldn’t act too human unlike RTD with his turning the Doctor into a flirtatious character. I hope we get another older actor in the role some day but obviously that won’t happen as long as RTD and his body fascist team are involved. Amazing actor Peter Capaldi.
Body fascist team? What are you on?
Body fascist team? Are you just saying words?
@@sidicle6537 RTD and Julie Gardner have both said they prefer younger more attractive actors to play the Doctor. This clearly shows that they aren’t all inclusive.
@PaulRichards-vz4pl Chris Chibnall said he only wanted a woman to play the 13th Doctor. Is he sexist because he visioned a woman in the role he was writing? NO! It’s his fucking show. The showrunner can cast whoever they want.
@@brewster_4 It’s his F--ing Show! No it’s a show as Peter Capaldi said that belongs to us all. I’m not talking about the gender of the Doctor here I’m talking about discrimination that older actors face and those who aren’t considered good looking. Julie Gardner’s comments about Sylvester McCoy I thought were out of order and pretty nasty.
I’d love to see him in an anniversary special, but I do worry that it might be a while until then. Would love to see like something planned long-term where he shoots a scene now-ish to use later down the line. But that’s the only way I could see it work. Utterly respect his decision to not quickly return for other episodes though.
He would return when dr who gets a new writer and production team as would eccleston
As rumours persist that Peter was forced out of the role to make way for Jodie Whittaker, or jumped before he was pushed - and neither he nor the BBC have denied those rumours - I do have to wonder whether he's being remarkably diplomatic and forgiving whilst skirting around one of, if not *the* main reason(s) he won't return to the role.
He has denied those rumours though. He, Moffat and Chibnall have all said Peter was asked to stay on for series 11.
He's too professional and loves the character too much, he probably doesn't want to tarnish the character/show by bad mouthing it with what happened
There is definitely a potential story arc where Doctor Who ends up on tv in-universe, but only for one person.
And then Capaldi can come back because it would work with his logic 😂
So "No" then.
Absolutely no chance
I don’t think Capaldi was treated very well by the producers at the end. So it’s too soon for him to come back.
I believe things come to ahead with Chibnall. From what I understand he bailed when he saw where Chibnall wanted to go with the Doctor. He found another puppet to do his bidding and the rest is history. The worst show runner and the worst actress in history were born.
@ wet He asked for more money to do one final series. The BBC refused as ratings were declining. That was the end of it. He has made several barbed comments about the shows lack of finances since.
@@markb3915 OK that's interesting. What is the source of that info?
@@wetsox278 and where did you hear this? All that has ever been said about whether or not he was continuing was just after Chibnall was announced. Peter was asked in an interview if he was leaving with Moffat and he said he was still thinking about it. He said Chibnall had asked him to stay and that it he felt like he should go with Moffat
@@markb3915 Why are you making up lies? What do you even get out of it?
Hear me out. We don't get Peter to come back as the 12th Doctor...
But we get him to play the Peter Cushing Dr Who in a Multi-Verse episode.
So his answer is basically no lol 😂
I respect his decision and his reasons your only the Doctor once really when your times up your times up Multi-Doctor stories are only done for fanwank services there's no real story reason to have multiple Doctors their all the same person anyway.
Capaldi was a fantastic Doctor but unfortunately he was stuck with some really bad stories
not really, he had the best stories and the highest peaks.
@@hecty8667 bahahaha no, wish it were true though.
@@purefoldnz3070 yea idk where ppl get the idea that his stories are bad, series 9 and 10 are filled with some of doctors who’s peak
@@hecty8667 some of the all time worst for sure, yes he had some good ones but sadly there were few and far between. That episode when the moon becomes a giant space egg kinder has to be a contender for the worst episode ever made.
@@purefoldnz3070 kill the moon is one of the only bad ones for sure but those are only a few. Otherwise we have amazing episodes likes the series 10 finale, heaven sent, mummy on the orient express, listen, oxygen, extremis, husbands of river song, under the lake, before the flood, I could go on. My point being there’s way more good episodes than the few couple bad episodes.
In the wake of Bi-Generation and Russell T Davies’ Doctorverse statements, the possibilities for past Doctors appearing again on Doctor Who has opened up. But Peter Capaldi has made it clear that he still has no intention of returning as the Twelfth Doctor.
When asked by Forbes in a recent interview about the chance of following in David Tennant’s footsteps for a return, Capaldi responded with a firm “No.”
He elaborated: “I’m a long-standing Doctor Who fan from being a kid … I like the idea that my Doctor is still out there. He’s not available to come and be on TV. The real Doctor is not on TV, the real Doctor is out there.”
Plus he cannot stand what's been done with the show nor its agenda..can't quite imagine caoaldo playing the new gay all singing doctor ....RIP Dr who
None of the real fans can
@@jonylawson73 You must a NuWho or clueless. Go watch Classic Who with an actually mature and critical eye. Take a look what thet were trying to do in the 70s with the Third Doctor. Even as far as "Planet of Giants."
Cheesed off because he most likely got fired.
Stop being.stubborn Peter .
No
With the direction it's going in now I don't want any of the past doctors to return.
No, he doesn't want to be involved with Doctor Woke
I wish people would stop asking him or any of the previous Actors this. It's boring and they don't want to
If i was Matt Smith and Peter Capaldi i would stay as far away from this WOKE crap as possible and not ruin their legasys the way Tenant did
preferred Capaldi over Smith, just a shame he had terrible companions and bad writing. Glad he wont come back, they'd do him dirty.
the last good doctor. Since capaldi it became.... well.... it's dead innit ?
Why would anyone want to be associated with Dr Who in its current laughable form?
To be honest Peter is only one of 2 actors to return to the show to be the doctor cause Colin baker was a different timelord in the deadly assassin serial then returned to be the doctor like Peter was in the fires of Pompeii then returned to be the doctor so it would be a second return to the show technically
What are you, twelve?
The political messaging started during his run as the Doctor and it started to kill the series. Now, its total garbage. Peter should have had great scripts to work with, and he didn't.
sorry Peter I have to disagree no kid under 13 should be watching
If he wants to be made to look stupid by transexuals and girl bosses, then he should definitely do it.
No..dont....its just rubbish now.
Why would you go back to that utter vomit they are churning out now .
I think he would have made a better master. He is a good actor. When Jody came in I liked it better. . But her last season was badly written. I like the .new Doctor Who it is more modern,
THANK GOD he didn’t come back for the 60th.
The show already did the impossible and ruined David Tennant, don’t dare touch Peter or Matt!
How? David Tennant played a perfect continuation of the 10th doctor's character.

Absolutely disgusting he was forced out of his dream role just so a failed message could kill a once great show
From Into the Dalek, about Clara: “yeah, she’s my carer, she cares so I don’t have to…” it was that little residue of Malcolm Tucker that made Capaldi’s Doctor the best.
