Warning foul language ahead...

Once I become enamoured with an actor, I must try and see everything they have ever done, regardless of if it's good or not.  Peter Capaldi was no exception to this.  Now that the fire was burning, I wasted no time in hitting research mode, aka IMDB.  What I found was a long list of TV shows and movies that Capaldi has done, most of which are British so it has been difficult for me to find some of them, but thanks to Youtube and Netflix I've managed to see a few.

Malcom Tucker.  The second greatest character to be played by Peter Capaldi.  How is it that I was living my life completely unaware that this show even existed.  This is one of the reasons why I am so happy that Capaldi became the Doctor because if he hadn't, I would have never known about "The Thick of It".  I watched the first episode on my own and then immediately after told The Husband he needed to watch this show.  So being the good husband he is, he watched it with me and he and I were instantly hooked and binge-watched the entire series.  As a side note this is not good if you are in any kind of authority position at work and have a tendency to get angry from time to time.   Needless to say I was told by my staff to take a break from watching for awhile. Malcolm Tucker is a character that you probably shouldn't like, but the way that Peter Capaldi plays him, you can't help but love him.  Not to mention he's just down right sexy when he swears with his Scottish accent.  Swearing sounds so much nicer when it's being done in Scottish.
 
After watching "The Thick of It" and "In the Loop", I left Malcolm behind and moved on to a show I had seen before because of my love for Hugh Laurie, "Fortysomething".   This was a show I had seen because as mentioned above I try to watch everything my British loves have done, little did I know at the time that I was watching a future obsession.  Now I could watch with new eyes and see the adorableness of Ronnie Pilfrey.  The show isn't great, but it did allow me to see another side of Capaldi's acting chops and once again I was impressed.  This man seems to be able to do it all!  He sings, plays the guitar, acts and he can draw.  What a guy!

So now that I was drawn into the world of Capaldi and loving Doctor Who more than ever, what next.  Well in my case that would be annoy everyone around me by talking about him and wondering how on earth I could meet him.  That will be shared in my next post.  Thanks for reading!
