Malcom Tucker returns

...well, kinda, as Peter Capaldi gives Armando Iannucci a Bafta

Peter Capaldi revived some of the choicest phrases of foul-mouthed spin doctor Malcolm Tucker on stage last night.

He was handing an honorary Scottish Bafta to he Thick of It creator Armando Ianucci – and used the occasion to revive some of the show's best-known lines.

Bafta tweeted a brief extract from his tribute here:

At the ceremony, All Round To Mrs Brown's won a Scottish Bafta for best entertainment show, beating Dara O Brian-fronted Robot Wars and The Dog Ate My Homework, the CBBC quiz show hosted by Iain Stirling.
