Peter Capaldi has claimed the "easiest" job he's ever had is his current one as the titular Doctor in Doctor Who.
The actor took over control of the TARDIS from Matt Smith at the beginning of this year's new series, and though it's hard work making the programme he's having a lot of fun.
Speaking at a Q&A session, the former The Thick Of It star quipped: "It's the easiest thing I've ever done in my life! It's not hard, it's fun, because we've got such a great team, the scripts are so good, and we've such a fun programme, and it's such an iconic thing."
Capaldi's shocked that the year is nearly over and his first run as Doctor 12 has come to an end.
"It's difficult to say what specific moments were significant to me because the whole thing has just been amazing. The first time you go on to the set, the first time you meet a Dalek or even the first time the TARDIS wobbles when you shut the door."
The actor and his castmates have now already done read-throughs for series 9 and are due to start shooting in January.
"I can't believe it's gone so quickly. We just had the read-through for the first of next series and I went through the same thing last year, and was absolutely terrified as I didn't know anybody - and I had to be Doctor Who!"
The 'Doctor Who' Christmas special also stars Nick Frost as Santa Claus, former 'Coronation Street' actress Natalie Gumede and Jenna-Louise Coleman - who portrays companion Clara Oswald.
'Last Christmas' airs at 6:15pm on Christmas Day (25.12.14) on BBC One.
