DOCTOR Who star Peter Capaldi has announced plans to auction off a signed script from his last ever episode of the hit show to raise cash for the charity that runs the Robin House children’s hospice near Loch Lomond.
The actor has donated a personalised copy of his shooting script from The Doctor Falls, the last episode of season 10 of the hit BBC sci-fi series, first broadcast in July 2017, to raise money for Children’s Hospices Across Scotland (CHAS).
It’ll go under the hammer at the 2021 Capital Sci Fi Con (CSFC) event, taking place online on Saturday, March 13.

Robin House, and its companion hospice, Rachel House in Kinross, offer a range of facilities for seriously ill children and their families, including a hydro pool, art room, den, gardens and plenty of areas for relaxation and fun.
It also has quiet areas for reflection, bereavement support and care.
The organisers of CSFC donate all the event's profits to CHAS, and have raised £311,981 for the charity since the event was first held in 2016.
The actor said: “I am delighted to donate this personalised shooting script for “The Doctor Falls” by Steven Moffat to be auctioned for CHAS at Capital Sci Fi Con.

“Reading the full script gives an insight into Steven’s beautiful work and this truly is an amazing collector’s item for Doctor Who fans.
“This was my last episode ever, so I hope it helps raise lots of vital funds for CHAS, an incredible charity that helps so many vulnerable children and their families across Scotland.”
An online raffle and auction will run alongside the event from early March which is where fans can bid for Peter Capaldi’s personalised Doctor Who script.
Tickets for the Virtual Capital Sci-Fi Con 2021 cost £3 and are available to buy now through the CSFC website.
