Peter Capaldi was asked by Doctor Who Magazine in 2016 to write a letter for their 500th issue. In the letter, Capaldi wrote how he had previously been asked by Doctor Who Magazine to write a letter for either the one-thousandth or one hundred-thousandth issue, but the actor couldn't remember which. He also wrote about how he was proud about the magazine and how it inspired fans to "write their own stories, draw their own pictures, and make their own music and films".
