"Peter Capaldi will &amp;quot;probably&amp;quot; keep his Scottish accent for the next series of Doctor Who, according to showrunner Steven Moffat. The 55-year-old actor born in Glasgow was announced as current Doctor Matt Smith&amp;#039;s successor earlier this month.    Doctor Who TV reports that in the latest issue of the show&amp;#039;s official magazine, Moffat reveals several hints about the upcoming 12th Doctor.  Moffat is &amp;quot;pretty certain&amp;quot; Capaldi will use his native Scottish accent in the role, and revealed that he will be an &amp;quot;older, trickier and fiercer Doctor&amp;quot;. He added that Capaldi&amp;#039;s Doctor will make things difficult for assistant Clara, saying: &amp;quot;I think the fun story will be \u2013 and we have the opportunity here \u2013 is this is what regeneration can do to you. He can be very, very different.&amp;quot; Peter Capaldi will debut as the 12th Doctor in Doctor Who&amp;#039;s 2013 Christmas special. The series returns to BBC One for its 50th anniversary special on November 23.
