San Diego Comic-Con wrapped up recently, and several Doctor Who alumni were in attendance. As previously reported, Peter Capaldi and Jenna Coleman were joined by Michelle Gomez and Steven Moffat for a Doctor Who panel, where the Season 9 trailer was unveiled. Yet, there was even more of interest to Whovians going on behind the scenes.

Pertwee and Capaldi Meet

Sean Pertwee was in attendance to represent FOX’s Gotham, in which he co-stars as the stalwart Alfred Pennyworth. Doctor Who fans are sure to recognize Pertwee as son of the late Third Doctor, Jon Pertwee, and for his appearance in The Five(ish) Doctors Reboot. Pertwee and Capaldi met backstage, taking a few moments to pose for a selfie and a classic Who shot.

Capaldi’s Fanboy Photo With David Bradley

David Bradley—Abraham Setrakian on FX’s, The Strain—attended with cast and crew to discuss the upcoming second season of the adaptation of Chuck Hogan and Guillermo del Toro’s vampire horror novel series. Doctor Who fans may know Bradley better from his portrayal of First Doctor, William Hartnell, in the docu-drama, An Adventure in Space and Time. Still, his Who roots go even deeper: as Solomon in Series 7’s Dinosaurs on a Spaceship and Shansheeth in The Sarah Jane Adventures’ Series 4 story, Death of the Doctor. The First and Twelfth Doctors met each other backstage, and Jenna Coleman kindly took a picture of the pair for a seemingly chuffed Capaldi.

Capaldi and Coleman On Speaking to Fans

After the Doctor Who Hall H panel, Capaldi and Coleman shared some thoughts with BBC America about appearing in front of fans. While both mentioned their nervousness being in front of 7,000 fans, Capaldi also noted that Doctor Who is “a good thing in the world,” and having the opportunity to speak to so many people that love that good thing was something “quite special.”

Capaldi Makes His Mark On the House of Blues

Finally, Capaldi was sure to leave a permanent mark on San Diego, signing the wall at the House of Blues. He was sure to add a reminder of his punk band roots (as guitarist and lead vocals for Dreamboys, along with Late Late Show host, Craig Ferguson), by adding a quick sketch of a Dalek singing and strumming on its own guitar.
