I’m just thinking what the other doctors put their’s into. Capaldi definitely intelligence. Smith wisdom. Whittaker Constitution. Tennant dex. Ecclestone strength. If one for each stat in newwho, that’s my ranking
I love how their both listening and responding throughout the interview. I'm so used to people talking over each other.

He’s just a bundle of fun and charm, and I can see him reaching into the depths of empathy that we love so much about past Doctors.

Such a charming person!!

The first look at him in The Church on Ruby Road, I knew he was The Doctor! When they broke into the musical piece, I knew he was making The Doctor his own!!
