The 12th Time Lord doesn’t wear the trousers in his Tardis as Elaine Collins sets the ground rules.

Doctor Who star Peter Capaldi has revealed that his wife bans him from watching the show at home.

Capaldi, 57, the 12th actor to play the Time Lord in the classic BBC sci-fi series, catches up on old episodes in his trailer on the set because of Elaine Collins’ strict rule.

He said: “I still watch shows on my day off.

“It’s great because I phone the office, ask for an episode, there’s a knock at the trailer and it’s presented. They don’t think I’m an iconic character at home. That’s the difficulty. When I go home of a weekend I still have to make my own coffee.”

He said: “I sort of enjoy this position I am in with a kind of deep Scottish melancholy because I know it has to end one day. I will cross that bridge when we come to it, which may be sooner rather than later.” Capaldi also says he is prepared for going to sci-fi fan conventions when he will no longer be in the cherished role.

Previewing the new series he told viewers “not to trust” Doctor Who and said Jenna Coleman’s character Clara Oswald had an important role to play with “little strategies” to helps the time-travelling Doctor relate more effectively with others.

The new series of Doctor Who starring Capaldi starts on BBC1 on September 19.
