The fourteenth incarnation of the Doctor - the first of the new regeneration cycle as far as we knew at the time - is played by Peter Capaldi. He was the second fan of the series to become Doctor, after David Tennant. Peter was a leading member of the old Doctor Who Fan Club and wrote articles for their fanzine.
His final story was supposed to be The Doctor Falls (the clue was in the title) but because Chris Chibnall couldn't get his act together and come up with a Christmas launch for Jodie Whittaker, Capaldi's finale was extended into Twice Upon A Time.
Chibnall's mess turned out to have advantages - in that we got a bit more Capaldi, plus a whole David Bradley First Doctor story. Just a pity they cut the Mondasian Cyberman scenes from the opening section.
