Actor Peter Capaldi is known far and wide thanks to his versatile talents. Part of such notoriety comes from the man’s ability to wield a short temper and foul language with the touch of a champ thanks to his time on Armando Iannucci’s dark comedy series The Thick of It. However, when discussing his series Criminal Record, which recently debuted on the 2024 TV schedule, Capaldi firmly believes that his new Apple TV+ character DCI Daniel Hegarty could easily make mincemeat out of his classic character from that dark comedy.
None other than his previous political operative, the ever memorable Malcolm Tucker, is on the hypothetical hit list in this discussion. That knowledge came from when I sat down for the press day for this new series, which sees Peter also acting as an executive producer alongside co-star Cush Jumbo.
