i just love peter's hands!

[@doorneverwhere]

Someone should have mentioned to the interviewer that Peter Capaldi has an Oscar.

[@ThuckBuddies]

And a feckin' TARDIS!

[@DornishQueen]

Peter and Armando are more in touch with American television than the interviewer.

[@soniag8739]

damn peter's fine.

[@bonter1983]

Interviewer didn't even realise the series existed. Insane!

[@kickodude]

I think he's gonna be the best Doctor ever!

[@Apollostowel]

And turned out to be true.

[@Anil18834]

I love Peter Capaldi. The Thick of It is one of my favorite shows of all time. Since then, I never miss anything by Armando Ianucci. The Death of Stalin is brilliant. This is such an old interview, but I'm embarrassed by the interviewer.

[@jessica5497]

Peter capaldi is just great 💙💙

[@richardlitwin4046]

Yes Peter has lovely hands.

[@torqued666]

I would love to see the first cut -- the 4 hour 15 minute -- version. That would be very interesting.

[@conradclipper]

I find it extraordinary that in this interview, from a channel with such a portentous name, that the camera is wandering all over the place and manages to be frequently soft focused. Also calling Capaldi the lead, claiming there's no political comedy in the USA, and a number of other basic research errors. For god's sake get three cameras in triple axis: one shooting across each interview subject and one wide: and then leave them alone. You got to interview two wonderful people and almost managed to fuck it up, but then they saved it for you.

[@taruuuu]

these two are hilarious together!

[@maxthue]

I am so glad the interviews has gotten better with the years.

[@saragsoswift]

Who is the nard interviewing these two GENIUSES?

[@oryxozymandias5935]

A shame the interviewer knew next to nothing about The Thick of It.

[@ASH18YEARS]

Armando's glass is the exact opposite of Peter's.

[@beautifultime.9303]

Amazing choice of backdrop for Peter and for Armando... 🤣🤣🤣👀

[@sirenbrian]

Is there any chance of seeing the original 4h15m cut of In The Loop?

[@maya6215]

The way Peter says 'piece' kills me

[@southsidejohnny5624]

We pronounce it “peece” in Glasgow and it has a variety of meanings, including meaning a sandwich 😂

[@Tweed_Echidna]

I would LOVE to see Transformers written and directed by Armando Ianucci.

[@MyThingsRedux]

Liked this near the end. Made me laugh. Looking forward to one of those HBO projects, starting April 22nd.

[@LibrasHP]

Is there a 5 year old kid with ADD operating the camera?

[@emils-j.3586]

Some people are now saying that there's a 't' in 'director'.

[@ccbbaabbcc]

good interview. iannucci is amazing, love capaldi too (the thick of it is excellent!) i wanna be that good someday. (i'm a comedian!) #comedy #dublin

[@ladycplum]

Peter has such a dorky laugh

[@WilsoMusic]

Really interesting.

[@littleripper312]

So true about the catering on film sets in North America. They really go all out on food.

[@jinxyroo]

What is this? Amateur hour? Bad camera. Bad sound. Bad interview. These guys deserve better.

[@BrendaTheEnormous]

interviewer didn't do his reserch.

[@frejaw3]

Omg! "Porozmawiajmy o kobietach" in the background 👍

[@electrizer]

And in the background there's a Polish poster for Carnal Knowledge. What are the odds?

[@SuperWinditup]

exactly;)

[@iwillheadlockyournan731]

awesome doctor.. can even turn a variety of shite scripts into awesomeness

[@fernando3061]

The interviewer was talking about political comedies it was the interviewees that defended American T.V by listing shows that weren't political in nature.

[@Tehgoat]

The Interviewer doesn't give enough credit to American audiences.

[@HappyAppart]

Clueless interviewer woke up and decided to challenge these two funny and intelligent gentlemen's patience.

[@jake6112]

Guess it was the cam op's first day. This should have been a static two-shot the entire time. No need to keep dropping tilt, zooming in and out all the time... breaking the fluidity of the conversation with all that faffing.

[@Chewiee84]

but people generally give them too much

[@earthacademy]

comedy camera man X-)

[@hsiadarb8062]

The interviewer has to be knowledgeable about his subject, this is a one sided with Peter & Armando doing all the work...

[@simontulett6173]

Anyone else find the camera work incredibly annoying, constantly zooming in and out and moving from one to the other very slowly. I might have to stop watching on that basis alone

[@iThinkerer]

Peter's glass looks like a little fucking jug

[@alasdairduncan3]

Interviewer should find a new job

[@darrenbermingham]

An Infuriatingly shot, terribly recorded, cripplingly ill-informed, unresearched waste of a great opportunity to learn something from two legitimate geniuses. So disappointing.

[@thomasscottwilliams6672]

Why is the interviewers first question about how everyone in the cast were well known American actors and he cast a British actor he’d never met to play the keas, he may not have met him prior but Capaldi is a legend and brilliant actor. It just comes across as American bias and arrogance plus insulting as heck

[@dp30]

Love Capaldi. Know his work well. Maybe the interview felt like we were already talking before, which we were. Guys had also had some drinks at dinner.

[@bicarbonat1]

Netflix

[@SuperWinditup]

stop watching and read other peoples comments instead whilst still listening to the comentary , thats what you should do;)

[@zodrob7]

SuperWinditup, and exactly what i'm doing

[@zodrob7]

I was about to 'thumb up' and say that's what I'm doing. Then i saw i'd done that months ago.

[@gordondean2165]

Very interesting subject, brilliant actor and director but almost ruined by a criminally bad interviewer and camera operator.

[@spookyarda]

new doctor

[@Tweed_Echidna]

Peter's is female...?

[@lnfreeman]

the interviewer brings up accents for no reason at all and arm's face kind of falls. why do many of my fellow country'men feel the need to make such asses of themselves to foreigners?

[@methvenarundell3118]

lnfreeman Trump is the biggest ass of all.

[@jamesmcclymont3796]

F**kity Bye Bye I'm The Doctor

[@fintimwhimbim]

Armando looks pished (drunk)
