Speaking at San Francisco Comic Con recently, the Scottish star was asked if he would ever considering going back to the role of the time traveller after his official last episode Twice Upon A Time.
“I think when you should go, you should go,” the Thick of It actor said, he went on to say: “Even when I was a kid I believed [the Doctor] was this weird and wonderful thing, so if he kept showing up all the time in Big Finish or in multi Doctor stories he was more available.”
He added: “I don’t know. Maybe. But not for a while.”
While it seems that he hasn’t ruled it out completely, Peter’s word seemed to be pretty final about playing the Doctor.
Peter will be departing the TARDIS on Christmas Day but not before he embarks on an adventure with David Bradley, who will portray the original Doctor in the festive episode that will take the Time Lord back to the beginning.
The Yuletide instalment will also see Jodie Whittaker make her debut as the first female Doctor and the 13th Time Lord.
There has also been speculation about the new companion after it was revealed that Pearl Mackie would be leaving as plucky assistant Bill Potts.
Some reports suggested that The Chase host Bradley Walsh could be taking on the part, however the rumours have since been quashed.
