Tears shed on Who farewell to Capaldi

Mark Gatiss has said tears were shed when Peter Capaldi filmed his last episode of Doctor Who.

The actor, who has served as a writer on the sci-fi show and created Sherlock with Doctor Who showrunner Steven Moffat, will star as The Captain in the Time Lord’s coming Christmas special.

Capaldi and Moffat will both depart the show after the festive episode, with Jodie Whittaker taking over as the Doctor and Broadchurch creator Chris Chibnall replacing Moffat.
