I typically don’t cover these kinds of stories, but I just loved this picture so much, I had to share this story.

Doctor Who News has reported that GQ named Peter Capaldi as their TV Personality of the Year.

On receiving the award Capaldi said:

“I’ve been very lucky because in the past I’ve received awards for my acting. This is the first I’ve received for my personality, which I assume means they’ve never met me. The reason I’ve got this award is because I got the chance to play the roll of a lifetime twice. Malcolm Tucker in The Thick Of It. And I also got to play Doctor Who. The real people who know the personality of the year are my family – my mother and my sister and my wife who have put with my personality and endured it to the point that I can get this.”

 

Congrats to Mr Capaldi! He has has been off to a terrific start as the newest incarnation of the Doctor. Check out our reviews of the first two episodes:
