It seems we definitely won’t be seeing more than one series of Doctor Who a year anytime soon – as Peter Capaldi has said an increase in the number of episodes made would create “casualties”.

The actor, who plays the 12th incarnation of the Time Lord, told an audience at the Radio Times Festival that the cast and crew don’t have enough energy to make more than one series a year.
“We’ve been going since January 6 and the crew, who are wonderful, are exhausted,” he said, reports The Mirror.

“There reaches a point where you can’t drive people any harder. We do the best we can to produce our show to an immensely high quality.
He added that executive producer Steven Moffat would not be able to commit to more episodes, saying it would compromise his vision.

“It’s absolutely vital that we have Steven working on it and having a vision on the whole thing,” he said. “He only has so much energy, I’ve only got so much energy.
“You want people running on all cylinders. So it’s not going to happen.”

It looks like we’ll have to content ourselves with just the one series per year for now.

Doctor Who airs its next episode, ‘Under The Lake’, on Saturday (October 3) at 8.25pm on BBC One.
