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.

Karl sits down to chat with Peter Capaldi in a clanky sort of room.  Peter was in Melbourne recently for a convention then he's of again at the behest of TV and film. But he won't be drawn on his involvement with Armando Annucci's new project, David Copperfield.  If The Doctor, Malcolm Tucker or the recognisable twang of Capaldi's Scottish accent mean anything to you, you'll enjoy this casual encounter between journalist and actor.
