The new Doctor Who Peter Capaldi is opening up about his upcoming role as the 12th Doctor on the hit BBC series. During a recent interview, Capaldi spoke out the show’s dark new tone and his dark new clothes. He even went on to talk about his relationship with campion Clara.
The new Doctor, Peter Capaldi was recently featured in an article from Sunday Times, where he spoke about the new gig. During the interview, Capaldi about how he isn’t get too comfortable with his companion, Clara (Via io9):
“There'll be no flirting, that's for sure. It's not what this Doctor is concerned with. It's quite a fun relationship but I did call and say, 'I want no Papa-Nicole moments.' There was a bit of tension with that at first, but I was absolutely adamant.”
He also went on to discuss his new look for the character:
“I think it's quite a hard look. I always wanted him to be in black - I always just saw The Doctor in dark colours. Not tweed. Matt's a really young cool guy - he can wear anything, but I wanted to strip it back and be very stark."
The new Doctor's digs are not the only things that are getting darker season, as Capaldi added:
“We still blow a lot of shit up. That's very important, but it's going to be a bit different from what we've seen over recent years. A bit more gravity. Some situations are a bit more sombre and I think there are more rooted dramatic scenes.... we have another level of drama, another tone. And the scenes are longer.”
