Defining Whouffaldi

– “It is, in essence, a truly romantic relationship.” - Peter Capaldi, summer 2015

– “I think the Doctor is crazy about Clara, he loves her in a very deep way that is not just about romance. It goes to a deeper territory of affection.” - Peter Capaldi, summer 2014

ROMANCE: 1. n. A love affair; 2. sentimental or idealized love; 3. a sense of wonder or mystery surrounding the mutual attraction in a love affair. 4. tr. to court, woo; 5. to seek the attention of. (Taken from the Oxford Canadian Dictionary).

So based on two of Peter’s most widely cited quotations on the subject, either  the Twelve-Clara relationship is true romance, which is defined pretty clearly by Oxford as being what you’d think it is … or it’s actually deeper than that sort of love.

Either way, Whouffaldi isn’t some illusion made up by frustrated romantics looking for something that isn’t there. It’s real. It just never plays by the rules.

One other thing that the “no romance allowed” crowd forget. Peter’s comments about “no flirting, no romance” primarily date from early promotions for Series 8. Which means he was, among other things, protecting spoilers. Why would he want to reveal, weeks or months ahead of time, that the Doctor would find himself competing with Danny for Clara’s affections, or that romance would run in the veins of the Orient Express episode, or any of that, and spoil the storylines? It’s no different than Peter and Steven Moffat saying, in interviews, before Hell Bent aired, that “nope, there is no way Clara will ever come back. She’s dead and she’s done.” And then immediately after we saw Clara and Ashildr take off in their TARDIS, the BBC uploaded a comment from Peter saying how happy he was that they left it open for Jenna to come back down the line.

Peter saying “there will be no romance” was just him protecting the spoilers, which is why come 2015 and his interview with Wil Wheaton he opened up a bit more about it, yes, being a romance because we’d already seen Last Christmas, etc. and it would be silly to try to claim “no romance” anymore.

the word ‘lie’ is essential in this episode

Jenna Coleman: We were polite for about 3 days. But we quickly dropped it.

Peter Capaldi: We were very polite. But we just get too excited working with each other. We enjoy it too much.

Interviewer: So who was first to drop the visage of politeness?

Jenna Coleman: I’m not quite sure how it even began.

Peter Capaldi: I think you’re sort of immediately bonded, because you’re in this very exposed position, where everybody’s asking “What’s the Doctor going to be like?” & “How’s Clara going to deal with him?” and the only people who know are us. And we don’t even have any plans in mind for that. We’re just getting on with it and seeing how it unfolds. The days are quite challenging because there’s a lot of stuff to get on with. With Doctor Who, the directors do two episodes each. So, by the time the next director came along, we were looking at each other going “We’re in a new world now.” and “How do we deal with this?”

Jenna Coleman: We are a very tight unit by that point.

During the 2014 World Tour, Jenna Coleman and Peter Capaldi discussed how they got to know each other during their first months filming series 8 of Doctor Who. Once again, the word “excited” is used to describe how they feel about working together. Other words used in other interviews during the tour have been “giddy” and “like complete children” who need to be separated from each other because they are having way too much fun. I don’t think politeness ever really entered into it. Hahaha
