It\u2019s not like he was always going to be one day Peter Capaldi. We know that\u2019s the case because in The War Games he has a choice of faces. So we know it\u2019s not set, so where does he get those faces from? They can\u2019t just be randomly generated because they\u2019ve got lines. They\u2019ve aged. When he turns into Peter he\u2019ll actually have lines on his face. So where did that face come from?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div class='attribution'>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/doctorwho.tumblr.com\/post\/62533771460\/nerd-speaks-with-steven-moffat-about-doctor\" target=\"_blank\">Steven Moffat in his interview with Nerdcubed<\/a><\/p>\n<p>(via <a class=\"tumblr_blog\" href=\"http:\/\/doctor-who-companion.tumblr.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">doctor-who-companion<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p><img src=\"https:\/\/66.media.tumblr.com\/8d66bedce9fc48efb7b50e32347a9288\/tumblr_inline_mtuuopotFv1rw8a11.gif\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are aware that Peter Capaldi\u2019s played a big old part in Doctor Who and Torchwood before and we are not going to ignore the fact.
