“I’m loving it because we’re in a very different place with the Doctor and Clara in the modern series (S9). It’s been a while since I’ve seen the early stages of the Twelfth Doctor trying to pretend that he doesn’t fancy Clara. He used to be saying, ‘Oh, you’re ugly…Oh, you’re disgusting…Go away!’. Now he’s saying, ‘Stop looking so good’. So that’s fun.”

Steven Moffat talking to Jaci Stevens in late 2014
At the BAFTA screening of Listen on Sept 10, 2014, Steven Moffat clearly states that the Twelfth Doctor is “besotted” with his companion. The definition of the word besotted is:
In my opinion you don’t have to wait for series 9 to see that these two have an obvious connection, whether they admit it or not…
But, in case you did miss it, once again the creator of the Twelfth Doctor and Clara Oswald goes out of his way to say that Twelve fancies Clara. How much more proof does anyone need? Series 9 would just cement what we already knew…
Twelve & Clara are literally crazy about each other.
