Shake it up, Mr. Lyon. Shake it up

I wasn't expecting him, but I am perfectly fine with Peter Capaldi as the Twelfth Doctor. He's not a chameleon, except insofar as he's shockingly young in Local Hero (1983) if you noticed him first in Torchwood (2009), but he's an actor I watch out for. The Angel Islington, John Frobisher, Danny Oldsen, Angus Flint, Malcolm Tucker, Randall Brown; I'll be very curious to see what he does with this role. Especially if it means I get to see him and John Hurt in scenes together.

I'd note among good though small parts Peter Capaldi has played is the Vicomte de Valmont's manservant in the Stephen Frears Dangerous Liaisons.

Which I have not seen; thank you.

I spent much of late 2011 hoping there would be an NT Live-style broadcast of Graham Linehan's The Ladykillers, but that winter was not an accommodating season.
