Don't get me wrong, I like Peter Capaldi - he is brilliant as Malcolm Tucker. But what was the thinking here???
-Right, we've unearthed a load of Leonardo Da Vinci's notes and need someone to play him. -Ok cool, how about an Italian actor. -Wellllll, yeah, that's one possibility. -Or at least someone who can pass off a decent Italian accent. -We could, we could. -Erm, did you have someone in mind? -How about Peter Capaldi! -Peter Capaldi, the well-known Scottish actor. -Yep! -Does he do a good Italian accent? -Not that I know of... -So you're suggesting... A Scottish Leonardo. -You got it!
Yep, a Scottish Leonardo. Leonardo Da Vinci's words, read, in a Scottish accent. Sorry, but didn't work for me at all.
