I don't know that I have seen much with Capaldi in it; so I guess I will have to see how it goes with him. Honestly I would have rather had a series with John Hurt; dude is good in everything. My wife and I are (re)watching Merlin and even though he is not in every episode, when he does pop up he really commands the screen -- and that's just his voice!
