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.

Danny has been with WhatCulture for over ten years, and is currently Doctor Who Editor and WhoCulture Channel Manager, overseeing all of WhatCulture's Whoniverse coverage. In 2022, he took charge of WhoCulture and has grown it into the biggest Doctor Who channel on YouTube, and one of the biggest Doctor Who communities on the web full-stop. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
