The outgoing Doctor was speaking to Kevin Smith at Comic-Con in San Diego alongside exiting showrunner Steven Moffat when Smith said that one of his favourite performances from Capaldi was as Malcolm Tucker in The Thick of It.

"I haven't sworn for four years since I became Doctor Who. I thought it was very inappropriate, but hey I just left," teased Capaldi.

After being egged on my Smith, who was shouting "bring back Malcolm Tucker!", Capaldi was chastised by Moffat who said: "The moment Jodie comes on screen, you're allowed to swear again."

To which Capaldi retorted: "I'm on on Christmas Day, so on Boxing Day you'll hear me."
