David Bradley is back as the First Doctor and in the latest issue of Doctor Who Magazine, there’s an exclusive in-depth interview with the man himself.
Four years ago he played William Hartnell in BBC Two’s An Adventure in Space and Time but now Bradley is returning as the First Doctor himself for this year’s Christmas special Twice Upon a Time.
He said:
“I was playing the guy who was playing the Doctor, but now I’m the Doctor… It’s absolutely thrilling.”
