Luke Lancaster here for CNET with the doctor himself Peter Capaldi thank you for joining us it's a pleasure to be here lego dimensions is the fabulous game from WB and the Doctor Who pack for that is just coming out yeah what was it like to be kind of recreated in Lego it's absolutely extraordinary all of us know Lego everybody knows what it's like paper that at some point of their life to see yourself recreate created is this tiny little figure with I'm always shocked that my figure has dog who has gray hair because for some reason I don't think of myself as great hair but I better get used to the idea because it's official it's in Lego I think it's an amazing game I think it's I know that it was made by people who love the show mm-hmm because I worked with fun I recorded a lot of voice stuff for them and their devotion to the show and the detail that they have in the game I mean you can actually go back through all the doctors back through all the TARDIS this is amazing thing when you go back to like Patrick Troughton or William Hartwell it goes into black and white it's such a brilliant idea fantastic um you've obviously got your likeness on Lego now what's the strangest piece of memorabilia you've ever seen your face on a cushion good for handmade cushion that someone made out of felt and put a likeness let's say a likeness of me on that cushion so the idea that you'd be lolling around in your house relaxing leaning back on large cushions with pictures of yourself woman well it's a bit of an older idea but I could do that if I wanted because I have the cushions the doctor was obviously joining you know Batman and Gandalf these huge cultural figures in logo dimensions yeah how do you feel about Doctor Who kind of taking that huge stage now moving from kind of a niche sci-fi show - yeah something much grander I think it seems natural I think that's sort of why he belongs now the thing about the doctor Doctor Who is I think it still retains its its cult core you know I always think even though Mahut Djem ount of fans of the show I think they all have their own very personal intimate relationship with it which i think is really important because there's something at the heart of it the appeals to people and it's not always the same thing you know if you ask people why they like Doctor Who we'll have lots of different ideas about that and I think that's you know what any successful show needs is a very personal thing at its heart but it's hard I think to protect that I when the show is getting bigger and bigger and bigger and that's sort of what our job is is to make sure that we're sincere and true to it as it expands them to this you know I hate the word brown but characters are thank you very much for joining us Peter so the full interview check out cnet.com
