In a special bonus edition of The Clappers, Karl chats with the Scottish actor Peter Capaldi over clanking cups of tea in a Melbourne hotel room.

You may know Capaldi as Doctor Who, or as the young chap in Local Hero all those years ago (it was just his second role, and he's had more than 100 others since).

But for Karl, it's his turn as the sweariest man in politics, Malcolm Tucker, in The Thick of It and In the Loop that really stands out.

Capaldi lets slip that he's going to be working with the shows' creator Armando Ianucci (The Death of Stalin) again. But will it be on his daptation of David Copperfield? Hmmm.
