Doctor Who: Peter Capaldi reveals the Special delights of playing The Doctor

Peter Capaldi admits he felt a little bit lonely coming onto a Doctor Who set without his usual “companion” Jenna Coleman. The 58-year-old actor, who plays the 12th incarnation of the much-loved Time Lord on the long-running BBC sci-fi series, says the 30-year-old had “looked after him” right from the start of his Tardis reign in 2013.
