PETER Capaldi has ruled out a romance between the Doctor and his assistant Clara as it would be "completely creepy".
Co-star Jenna Coleman is 29 and Capaldi is 57.
He said: "It's fine if you have young men like Matt [Smith] and David Tennant but as a father I felt it would be inappropriate"
Yet Capaldi said they had "forged a huge bond" adding: "There's no romance but there's deep love"
Coleman also rejected the idea of romance. "He's an alien. We're not lovey-dovey7
The show is back on Saturday and Capaldi - a fan before becoming the 12th Time Lord incarnation - is "amazed" it is a global hit.
He said: "It catches fire abroad in culturally different places, particularly with students and young adults. I suppose it offers escapism"
