Steven Moffat on Capaldi: "It's time for the old beast to snarl"

Doctor Who's Steven Moffat has described Peter Capaldi's take on the Time Lord as an "old beast", and that Peter "will give us a whole new version of  the Doctor."

 

"We've got used to two brilliant iterations of the younger, more popular Doctor and they have both been superlative," Moffat said, "But now it's time for the old beast to snarl at you for a bit! Sometimes you see that a bit in Matt Smith's Doctor - he will remind the people around him, 'I'm not really like this' - but I think Peter's Doctor will make that even clearer."
