On an average day of filming Doctor Who, Capaldi would've had to act in front of a good dozen crew members, as well as any stragglers who just happened to be in the studio and wanted to watch him work.

But on the day he delivered his epic speech, he didn't just have the usual crowd of people to perform in front of - he had the frickin' American ambassador too.

Apparently, the ambassador was so impressed that he even applauded when Capaldi had finished. This story has been told before so it isn't exactly new information, but it's just too wholesome to not bring up again.

He has been writing and video editing for 10+ years, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers and uploading them to YouTube (they're admittedly a bit rusty by today's standards). If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order or to tell you about the making of 1988's Remembrance of the Daleks, Danny is the person to ask.
