Capaldi also told the audience at the Cardiff screening that he would love to see “Keith Richards stumbling around the TARDIS, knocking out a few chords”.
“The Magician’s Apprentice” has been written by showrunner Steven Moffat, and is directed by Hettie Macdonald and produced by Peter Bennet.
“It’s… wow. The postproduction on Doctor Who – it’s like a whole other show”.
“I was really delighted to open the script and find the doctor playing guitar”.
During this electrifying new 12-part series, the Doctor (Peter Capaldi) is joined by Clara Oswald (Jenna Coleman) for time travel on a cinematic scale.
“Doctor Who” series 9 begins on BBC One on Saturday 19 September.
Una will be signing copies of Doctor Who: Royal Blood on Thursday, 10 September at Forbidden Planet on Burleigh Street in Cambridge (1-2pm).

As previously announced, taking up guest roles in the new series are rising young star Maisie Williams (Game of Thrones), and comedian and award-winning writer Reece Shearsmith (An Adventure in Space and Time, The League of Gentlemen).
He explained: “It’s extraordinary because your life does change in some ways quite dramatically”.
