Capaldi on Clara: “Doctor Who is Never What It Seems”

Many of us are still reeling from the events of Face the Raven; meanwhile, excitement for Heaven Sent is increasing. Twelfth Doctor, Peter Capaldi, has spoken about Clara’s exit form the show – and hints that it might not be quite as simple as it seems.

Oh yes, he has a message for fans of a certain Ms. Oswald… And it’s not as upbeat as that sounds. He jokes:

“My message for them would be life is tough. But Doctor Who is never quite what it seems. We haven’t told a lie. The story is the story but the Doctor is not going to rest. He is not going to accept that that is the last time he will see Clara.”

Rumours that Jenna Coleman will be in the Series 9 finale, Hell Bent still abound, and this only adds credence to them.

He also enthuses about potentially working with Lord of the Rings director (and Doctor Who fan) Peter Jackson, saying, “I think that would be great”, though obviously there’s no actual news on that.

Here’s the full interview with Capaldi, talking to NZHerald.

We don’t have long until we find out exactly what the actor is hinting at, do we? While this Saturday’s episode is a single-hander, focused purely on the Doctor and the mysterious Veil (Jami Reid-Quarrell), Hell Bent will actually star other people… Will this include Clara? Who knows? Who. Nose.
