Arrrrghh!

I've had Doctor Who on in the background for hours today, as BBC America is running a marathon. In between episodes, they're putting in little "behind the scenes" interview clips with Peter Capaldi. All well and good, except Capaldi keeps referring to his character as "Doctor Who," not "The Doctor." It's driving me crazy.

Really, really hoping that Moffat has a quiet word in his ear and gets this fixed. Surely it bothers him, too?

ETA: And they just showed a brief interview from "The Ultimate Time Lord" special, where Peter Davison interviewed Peter Capaldi. This was the way the conversation went (I swear, I'm not exaggerating):

Davison: So how long have you wanted to play the Doctor?
Capaldi: I never thought I would get to play Doctor Who.
Davison: Are you enjoying playing the Doctor?
Capaldi: It's amazing to be Doctor Who.
Davison: blah blah the Doctor blah blah?
Capaldi: blah blah Doctor Who blah blah.

I think I'm going to have to stop watching Capaldi interviews. It's a silly thing to be bothered by, but it bothers me so freakin' much.

That's really funny that it was mentioned that way in the TV Guide interview.

And I agree, it is SO annoying! I'm starting to think that he's doing it on purpose, though. Which probably means he won't stop, unfortunately.
