Doctor Who’s Peter Capaldi will star in an adaptation of David Copperfield from Veep creator Armando Iannucci.
This will be their first time working together since the final season of Iannucci’s award-winning television series The Thick of It.
Capaldi will lend his voice as Rabbit, alongside Chris O’Dowd, Toby Jones, and Ewan McGregor as the titular character.
Known for his dry wit and overt political commentary, Academy Award-nominated writer Armando Iannucci is in the process of adapting Charles Dickens’ classic novel David Copperfield, and Peter Capaldi will star as the penniless, yet hopeful, Mr. Micawber.
