Yes, you read it right. An hour and a half of this accent. This brilliantly expressive actor talking about art. History. History of art. History of Scottish art.

I found this gem on my recommended videos list, and I do not regret sitting through the whole thing. I dunno if you will want to, but I thought I might share this.

And guess what the best part of it is? Apparently, Peter Capaldi, in addition to have been the lead singer of a 70's punk-rock band, he is an sketch artist. Like they have legitimate clips of him on the tube, drawing people. It's so beautiful.

Life, like a dome of many-coloured glass,
Stains the white radiance of Eternity,
Until Death tramples it to fragments.

It was weird to see him as anyone other than Malcolm Tucker, though.
