Okay, here’s a revised version of the text, incorporating verification and corrections based on web searches as of today, January 13, 2024. I’ve focused on ensuring factual accuracy, particularly regarding Peter Capaldi‘s Doctor Who history and current streaming availability.
“I think less in a cultural way and more in an economic way. Sometimes I think it’s a little bit of becoming a victim of its success. The show that I loved was tinier, was a tiny thing, little small thing that survived. It just survived, and then it didn’t. But nobody knew it was worming its way into the culture in such a deep way.”
Peter Capaldi’s Doctor Who History
Before becoming the Twelfth Doctor, Peter Capaldi had a guest role in the season 4 episode “The Fires of Pompeii,” playing Caecilius. The BBC announced in August 2013 that Capaldi would return to the show as the lead, succeeding Matt Smith after “The Time of the Doctor.” https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-23570354
