FOR Doctor Who fans, this was the first chance to see Peter Capaldi as the new Doctor. But the millions watching last night's BBC1 Christmas special were just as keen to hear him.
For Capaldi, 55, plays the Time Lord with a thick Scottish accent – fellow Scot David Tenant played an earlier Doctor with an English accent.
Capaldi's brogue will be familiar to viewers who saw him play another 'doctor', foul-mouthed spin doctor Malcolm Tucker in political comedy The Thick Of It – but mercifully without the expletives.
He made his brief debut as the 13th Doctor at the end of last night's episode as Matt Smith was regenerated. Smith was shown ageing 300 years while sheriff of the Wild West town of Christmas.
In the hour-long special, the Doctor was granted 12 new regenerations – probably enough to last the show beyond its centenary in 2063.
