But will the sudden appearance of The Original Doctor (David Bradley) change everything?
4) His Last Words
As the Tenth Doctor, David Tennant said his final moments, “I don’t want to go.” As the Eleventh Doctor, Matt Smith said in his final scene, “Thank you.” As viewers watch his last episode ever as the Doctor, What will be Capaldi’s final words to the audience?
3) A Fond Farewell
With Jodie Whittaker announced as The Thirteenth Doctor, this is the perfect opportunity for fans to show their gratitude and appreciation towards the World War Z actor.
