Doctor Who: Every Regeneration Ranked From Worst To Best

8. The Twelfth Doctor (Twice Upon A Time)

Peter Capaldi is one of the finest actors to ever play the Doctor.

From Skins to The Thick of It to Paddington, Capaldi has excelled in every role he's ever had, and gave a spirited performance as the Twelfth Doctor even when the show's popularity took a downward turn.

Much like he carried the acclaimed episode Heaven Sent, Capaldi carries the Twelfth Doctor's regeneration single-handedly.

After helping his first incarnation come to terms with his impending death, Twelve decides that he too is ready to depart. After a beautifully-recited soliloquy advising his next form, the Scottish Doctor regenerates in a blast of light.

The actor was frequently let down by bad writing during his run, but his regeneration speech was one to remember. Hell, when you're as good as Peter Capaldi, even a bad script sounds pretty good!
