In the Doctor Who Magazine you get to put all your questions to Steven Moffat himself. Of course Moffat does his best to answer them. There was one question that set off a spark...

There's A Link!

Peter Capaldi plays Caecilius in the episode "The Fires of Pompeii" and also plays the 12th Doctor. Are we to see a link I wonder?

In the latest edition of the Doctor Who Magazine, one fan is keen to see if Caecilius from The Fires of Pompeii and the 12th Doctor is linked. Well it might be good news for many.

Andrea Laford asked:

"I really enjoyed the scene in Deep Breath when The Doctor says to the tramp, "Why did I choose this face? It's like I'm trying to tell myself something..." Will we ever get an explanation of why Caecilius from The Fires of Pompeii has the same face as The Twelfth Doctor?"

Steven Moffat replied:

"Thank you, I like that scene too. And yes, we're coming back to that idea. In fact, we'll be shooting the scene in question really quite shortly..."

This shows that there is a connection between the 2 characters. How? Why? We will find out soon. Will it be in Series 9? Let's hope so!

The latest edition to the Doctor Who Magazine is released 30th April 2015.
