Doctor Who: 12 Qualities To Make The 12th Doctor Awesome

12. Grow That Hair

Peter Capaldi I may as well tell you now, the majority are indeed as superficial as this, but hair is very important if you€™re going to be playing this intergalactic time traveller. Why else do you think Chris Eccleston only lasted the one series? I€™ll tell you why. His bouffant was not up to scratch. Paul McGann was forced (literally, I like to think) into a ridiculous wig to cover his shaven bounce for the TV movie, and more recently Matt Smith defied the Hair Rule by shaving his incredible barnet for none other than notorious hair-hater Ryan Gosling. A heinous crime, the only appropriate punishment would be an itchy wig for the Eleventh Doctor€™s final adventure.  Much love already exists for Capaldi€™s hair, with a Tumblr dedicated entirely to it (happily titled €˜F**k Yeah Peter Capaldi€™s Hair€™), so if Pete knows what€™s best for him, he will let his locks grow out into the wavy-goodness we all know he is capable of achieving. He is one step closer to being a great Doctor, simply by avoiding the barber shop. But can he beat Tom Baker€™s curls? No, probably not. Let€™s not get ahead of ourselves here.

Steven feels like a sociopath writing a bio about himself in third person, but it feels kind of nice, and he's sure he'll get used to it.
