Peter Capaldi reveals the ‘Doctor Who’ filming memory he’ll treasure most

Posted Filed under

Doctor Who star Peter Capaldi has revealed his all-time favourite moment of filming on the show.

It was announced in January that he would be leaving Doctor Who in this year’s Christmas special after four years as the Twelfth Doctor and filming has just concluded on his final season.

Asked to name the moment from his experience as the Doctor that he’ll remember most, Capaldi told the NY Times: “At the end of my first season, we did a sequence where the Cybermen emerge from St. Paul’s Cathedral.”

He recalled: “We shot it on this most wonderful summer’s day, a Saturday afternoon, and everywhere were these huge crowds gathered around us, waiting for the Cybermen. I love stuff like that.”

He added: “I would go into work on days that I wasn’t scheduled to work, if there was something I thought was interesting. If the Daleks attacked a space station, well, I had to go in and see that. The only other choice is to go: ‘Oh, I’ll go home now. I’m tired.’ It’s like being a little kid, you know?”

Season 10 begins at 7.20pm on Saturday 15 April on BBC One with ‘The Pilot’.
