Nobody quite knows for sure what the future of Doctor Who will hold beyond Series 9 but another rumour has surfaced this weekend to suggest that Peter Capaldi is here to stay. Well, for “one more series”, at least!

According to the Mirror (we know, but just go with it!), the Twelfth Doctor actor has already committed to Series 10 which, according to a separate recent report, won’t actually air until 2017. It’s been heavily speculated that the show will be put on another “gap year” in 2016 with only a handful of specials to tide fans over until its full time return.

Another day, another tabloid tidbit, but let us know your take on the latest developments in the comments below. It’s by no means official and, of course, time will tell. It always does.
