Peter Capaldi has opened up a little further on his departure from Doctor Who, suggesting that the demands of being the face of a brand played a part in his decision to leave.
Doctor Who season 11 premieres in October 2018 on BBC.
Along the way, Capaldi’s Twelfth Doctor worked his way through several full-time companions, two separate iterations of The Master, a spinoff series appearance, and a Dalek called Rusty.
It’s also important to take into consideration how much heavier the responsibilities are for Doctor Who‘s lead actor compared to a regular TV role.
