You are the future, he told the room.
Jodie Whittaker is so lucky and so are you.
I realized I was getting the hang of it, Capaldi said.
I played Doctor Who, Capaldi marveled.
You dont need anything.
Then again, he added, Never say never.
Heres are the rest of the highlights from Capaldis panel.
They didnt pay me for the regeneration!
They said, We dont do that.
When I grew up watchingDoctor Who, he was mysterious, Capaldi said.
I wanted to keep him at a distance.
That said, Capaldi didnt get all of his wishes he always wanted a Jimi Hendrix episode.
But I dont know what monsters theyd be fighting, he admitted.
Now thats a reason to get Capaldi back for a special.
Politics is just not funny anymore, Capaldi said.
Its not the time for that.
Its the time to understand and time to change and venture to move forward.
Its not a joke.
Get people in power who are intelligent, who are leaders.
Get people in power who understand what life is about.
Get people in power who understand the future.
Thats what we need to do everywhere.
Now that the secrets out, Capaldi says fans are in for a treat.
Im glad people were moved by the idea of her.
My Doctor is refusing to regenerate.
Hes just not having it, the actor revealed.
Capaldi described his last day on set as a fun one mostly.
I dont want to give it away, but it was quite iconic I guess, he said.
Youre doing something all the Doctors have to go through at some point.
It was fun and then it was sad.
At least hell have company.
Hell be joined in the hour by David Bradley as the First Doctor, originally played by William Hartnell.
Its not an impression, Capaldi said of Bradleys performance.
He somehow manages to evoke the spirit of William Hartnell…. And Id just look at David, and there hed be.
Capaldi hadnt debuted as the Doctor yet, but Gatiss invited him to set, where he met Bradley.
Now that hes come full circle, Capaldi is a lot more lax about his appointments with the Doctor.
There might be something else on.
