Doctor Who-Empire
On the new series, she adds: “Steven’s changed the format quite a lot. We have much longer scenes now. ” On Clara, Coleman states: “It’s like seeing a control freak out of control. She has a boyfriend and she’s a schoolteacher and then she travels around the universe with The Doctor. She’s trying to live those lives separately and not let them collide.”
Peter Capaldi on his Doctor Who: “He’s mysterious. He’s more alien than he’s been for a while. He doesn’t quite understand human beings or really care very much for their approval.”
Director Ben Wheatley says of his episodes: “For me, they’re back to classic Who, or the mid-Tennant adventures, where you’d tell a story and move on to the next one, less tied up in the machinations of long plot arcs.”
The director of the first two Series 8 stories also states about the new Doctor: “Capaldi’s his own man but there are elements of Baker and Troughton and Pertwee. He’s inherently funny but inherently brooding and complicated, as a performer and a man.”
