Actor Jimmy Vee is no stranger to the Doctor Who universe as he's portrayed many a character over the years, but this weekend in the season 8 episode entitled "The Caretaker," he portrays one of the toughest villains the Doctor has ever faced! In a recent interview, the actor opened up about his new role as the Skovox Blitzer, his past roles, and working with new Doctor Peter Capaldi.

"It was great to get in and out of, as it only took about 10 minutes to get fitted, the 3-foot, eight-inch actor told the Daily Record about his latest costume. "The worst I've had was probably either the Moxx or the Groske, as you got the bodysuit on, and then you would have to sit in the make-up chair for hours. I can't say too much about the episode, but it was great fun to do."

Vee also spoke about working with fellow Scottish actor Capaldi in the upcoming episode. Just like most of us, he's a fan!

"Peter is great - I got on with him really well, with us both coming from Scotland, you automatically have that link," he explained. "He's playing it quite naturally - it just feels like he's playing himself and not changing anything to become the Doctor. He's just going out to do it his own way, his own natural way. None of the Doctors I've worked with are trying to be something they're not - Chris, David and Matt, and now Peter."
