Doctor Who arrives to soothe pain
---------------------------------
Doctor Who touched down in Auckland to meet his fans - and
console a few too.
The Who fanbase across the world is reeling from the death
of the Time Lord's companion Clara Oswald, played by Jenna
Coleman, in the latest episode which screened in Britain
on Saturday and in New Zealand on Sunday night.
Though Peter Capaldi, who plays the 12th incarnation of
the sci-fi character, hinted that, as it has been far more
than 50 years, things in the show aren't always clear-cut.
"My message for them would be life is tough," Capaldi
joked to the Herald about fans upset by Clara's passing.
"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."
The current series has two more episodes this season
before Capaldi caps off the year with a Christmas special.
Capaldi was to host an evening for fans at Auckland's
Civic [Theatre] last night. One local Doctor Who superfan
unlikely to be attending was Sir Peter Jackson, whose name
has frequently come up as a possible guest director of an
episode of the BBC show.
"I think that would be great," says Capaldi about Sir
Peter's possible involvement.
Would he worry the episode would be three hours long?
"I'm sure three hours in his hands would be wonderful. I
believe he has his own Daleks which he can provide for
us."
Before arriving in Auckland, Capaldi was guest of honour
at a fan convention in Suydney.
There, he and writer Mark Gatniss and showrunner Steven
Moffat came third in a Doctor pub quiz against teams of
local "Whovians".

Here?").
