Doctor Who writer breaks down speech that "defined" Peter Capaldi's Doctor

www.radiotimes.com Doctor Who writer breaks down speech that "defined" Peter Capaldi's Doctor

The moment has gone down in Doctor Who history.

I also think this is one of the best 12th Doctor moments, allthough I'm not sure it's the one that defines him for me...

Maybe earlier in the season where he's able to share a joke with Davros a moment before spoiling his plans, whilst then telling Missy to go before he gets really angry.

This is easily one of the best speeches in the show, but I agree with you, I don't think it defines 12 - it was too late in his run for that
- I mean I was tempted to go with the moment in Into The Dalek where he offers hope to the crew member just to say "he was dead anyway - I was saving our lives, come on!"
  But he did soften later. That's definitely the early statement of intent that 'you're officially not watching 11 anymore' though imo
  
  I think 12 worked a lot better later when he was a bit less callous. I feel like they really perfected his character in s9 and 10

Oh yeah, the novelization's out today! Gonna need to pick that up.
- Is it today? Need to get it as well!
