And the pilot is equally astounded, questioning: 'Am I going mad?'

Speaking about the choice of first doctor, Steven Moffat recently admitted of his him: 'David Bradley is such a good swap for William Hartnell.

Talking about the Christmas special, which will see a third doctor thrown into the mix when it ends with Capaldi regenerating into Jodie Whitaker- a female doctor for 2018, Moffatt admitted it would be a rollercoaster episode.

'The one thing I have to say is, it's Christmas Day, we're gonna keep it funny, and we're gonna keep it lively, as well as sad,' he promised.

'If we cry, [the audience] won't. We want them to cry. So Doctor Who will laugh bravely into that good night.'
