Speaking of Doctor Who, Twelfth Doctor star Peter Capaldi is famous for having a remarkable swearing ability, which he honed on his comedy series The Thick of It.

Running for 23 episodes between 2005 and 2012, the show satirised the behind-closed-doors drama of the British government. It's not exactly somewhere you'd expect to find a Star Wars reference, but there are indeed a few, with an absolutely hysterical one residing in the second episode of series four.

Here, Malcolm Tucker (Capaldi) attempts to describe the Star Wars movies to his colleague Oliver Reeder, which he does in the most profane, bizarre, and hilarious way you could possibly imagine:

"The one about the f**king hairdresser, the space hairdresser and the cowboy. The guy, he's got a tin foil pal and a pedal bin. His father's a robot and he's f**king f**ked his sister. LEGO! They're all made of f**king LEGO."

That definitely won't be printed on the back of the Blu-ray anytime soon.
