When I was a kid, being a huge Doctor Who fan, I wrote numerous letters to the Doctor Who office largely inquiring about how the show was made. It was 1972 and Doctor Who was entering its ninth season on BBC 1.
I was thrilled to have delivered to me a large package from the BBC containing two full studio scripts for the Jon Pertwee serial ‘The Mutants’, which they were making at the time. The package also contained set designs and studio floor plans for these episodes and a delightful letter from Barry Letts giving me an idea what all this stuff was.
He’s a three fan.
Good.

As a proud Three fan myself since nineteen-eighty-splunge, I say that this surely can only be a good thing. I’d be quite confident in Capaldi’s ability to channel a bit of Pertwee-style prickliness over a tender heart.
