Peter Capaldi - The Twelfth Doctor Retrospective (2013 - 2017)

"That deep and lovely dark. We'd never see the stars without it."

DOC-METER

Prickly and antisocial, the Twelfth Doctor lavishes his attention only on his closest companions, but looks after them like a mother hen. His sharp, dark and sometimes blustery humor hides a deep insecurity and a neverending meditation on his place in the universe.

FAVOURITE STORY

Heaven Sent.

FAVOURITE COMPANION

Bill Potts

FAVOURITE ENEMY

The Vardy.

SCREWDRIVER

Initially continues to use his predecessor's variant, with a leather grip, bronze shaft, and a claw covering the green LED light.
Later, the redesigned TARDIS also provides a redesigned screwdriver, with a blue shaft and a rectangular light grid that regularly switch colours between blue and green.

COSTUME

Unlike his predecessors, the Twelfth Doctor's style of clothing was extremely varied. Aside from period clothing, he wore a dark blue Crombie or red velvet coat, sometimes a generic black suit, with various shirts(most commonly white), sometimes a spotty jumper.
Later on, during a more casual phase of his life, the Doctor also wore hoodies with or without the coats, and unique T-shirts.

WORST STORY

Dark Water/Death In Heaven.

WORST COMPANION

Clara Oswald

WORST ENEMY

The Monks

OVERALL ERA

Extremely inconsistent, largely due to the initial decision to turn the character into a sourpuss. Unlike the Eleventh Doctor, whose personality never really changed, Moffat(master of subtlety that he is) attempted to redo the Hartnell development with Capaldi and avoid the pitfalls of the Colin Baker era that tried the same.

However, not only did he fail at that(Doctor Who lost the mainstream audience in 2014 and hasn't regained them to date), but he also accelerated the loosening up phase so much that within the span of three episodes, the character was completely different, causing a tonal whiplash.

So, for the remainder of the Capaldi era, the "100% Rebel Time Lord" and "Dr. Funkenstein" awkwardly mushed together, slowly settling into a more or less likable Doctor, but by that point, any chance of serious investment was lost and so the era refocused on bringing us blasts from the past, justifying it with Capaldi's love for the programme's early decades(even though Davison and Tennant have the same street cred).
