He still might. Some BF stuff is recorded a year+ in advance. If he was gonna cameo in the Time War box, they might have recorded it during his studio time for box 3 or 4

I do wonder if BF is going to delay or otherwise alter release plans. It may come off as a bit morbid to go "hey, here's a brand new release from a guy who just died" (especially since Invisible Man was slated for somewhere in the next 4 days)

Looks like they've delayed The Invisible Man a bit, it says "Out in February" now

Last Capaldi story will be on 25 December 2017. Oh and Series 10 is starting on 15 April.

e: Yeah, I'm hoping they do the same as they did with Return of Doctor Mysterio and just make the special non-Christmas themed. We've already had three Christmas regenerations in a row and it's getting annoying now. (Although I guess The End of Time was light on the Christmas themes.)

My concern is that they'll finally cast someone who isn't a white dude but Chibnail's production/writing will leave people cold and it'll be blamed on the casting.

No, no, this time they'll finally cast a woman!

Because Chibnail has a great track record of making the female version of existing characters!

Well we are talking about the show where an unapologetic date rapist was meant to be a sympathetic main character.

I think it's kind of crazy that everyone but Chris Eccleston has regenerated during a Christmas special since 2005. I know they want to make a big deal out of anybody's last episode, but it would feel so novel and almost be more interesting at this point if the regeneration came in a regular episode and where the stakes weren't the entire universe. Basically, Caves of Androzani.

So when does the speculation on the new Doctor begin?

I think they could do a mid-season finale/regeneration but remember the story immediately following Caves of Androzani.

I was hoping he'd stick around a long time, or at the very least for Chibnal's first season to allow a smoother transition :smith:

They've managed to do great in the casting so far so hopefully the new Doctor will be a good choice, but it felt like Capaldi was only really getting started.

It's sad, but not surprising that Capaldi would want out. Let's hope the show keeps being good watchable.

I'm glad, though, that not a single person in this thread spells Chipnail's name correctly.

"The entire history of this incarnation is one of temporal orbits, retcons, paradoxes, parallel time lines, reiterations, and divergences. How anyone can make head or tail of all this chaos, I don't know."
Sad news :(

I really hope he gets a chance to shine this season (although with two companions that's going to be a bit harder to do). He's such an amazing actor, but I can count his good stories on one hand still.

I thought we already knew (or at least had reasonable grounds for believing) Capaldi was leaving at the same time Moffat was.

Anyway, Ruth Wilson for Thirteenth Doctor.

When SEO just isn't enough.
It doesn't really matter who they cast if they never make any episodes.

What a waste of time when Capaldi could've been starring in good seasons. This isn't how you continue to make a show part of social consciousness.

I don't have anywhere near the problem with Moffat that others do, but based on her character in Luther alone all I can say is that if they did cast her I'd be incredibly relieved he wasn't running the show anymore!
