Peter Capaldi Announces Next Season Will Be His Final Run as The Doctor

It happens to all Doctors eventually: they must regenerate and leave us. Oh, there will be another Doctor (thanks to the Time Lords granting the Doctor further regenerations), but for Peter Capaldi’s Doctor, his run’s almost done.

Peter Capaldi revealed in an interview today that he will be stepping down as the Doctor after the upcoming series (that’s season, to us Americans).
