Peter Capaldi almost cried the first time he saw the Tardis on the set of 'Doctor Who'.
The 56-year-old actor is set to star as the titular Time Lord for the first time in the highly anticipated next series of the BBC One sci-fi series and he's confessed he's such a big fan of the programme that he was overcome with emotion when he first came face-to-face with the famous spinning blue box.
Speaking at a press conference in New York, he said: "I turned up on set and saw the Tardis. I remember touching it ... the police box ... and I got a little bit teary. I was just so thrilled to be there."
Capaldi also revealed that while many aspiring actors may have looked to Hollywood stars for inspiration during his childhood, he was watching 'Doctor Who' and dreamed of following in the footsteps of actors who took on the lead role.
According to the Guardian newspaper, he explained: "I've been watching the show since I was five years old ... Actors who played Doctor Who - Patrick Troughton, Jon Pertwee, Tom Baker - those were the people I was watching. More than Laurence Olivier."
Meanwhile, Jenna Louise Coleman - who reprises her role as the doctor's companion Clara Oswald in the latest series - praised her new co-star and revealed he often did his own thing during filming.
She said: "He was really bold and brave [on set]."

Sheridan Smith is to star in new three-part drama series 'Black Work'.
The 'Mrs. Biggs' actress is set to star as police officer Jo Gillespie in the upcoming thriller, written by Matt Charman and produced my Mammoth Screen for ITV.
Her character will be forced to confront difficult truths about her family life and marriage when her undercover policeman husband Ryan is shot dead in mysterious circumstances.
Matt said of working with Sheridan: "Sheridan is a dream to write for because as an actress there's really nothing she can't do ... And 'Black Work' is a story that pushes her to the limit - it makes her character, Jo Gillespie doubt herself, her family, her friends, everything she's always taken for granted in her search for her husband's killer."
Jo - who is mother to 7-year-old Melly and stepson Hal - is to be left emotionally distraught and heavily conflicted when she unravels the last six months of her husband's life and discovers he's been watching a man recently released from prison.
'Black Work' was commissioned for ITV by Director of Drama Commissioning Steve November and Controller of Drama Victoria Fee.
Michael Samuels of 'The Fear' is to direct the project while Rebecca Deane and Damien Timmer will take on the role of executive producers for Mammoth Screen.
Filming is to begin in Leeds later this year.

Paul O'Grady's dog has landed a part in 'Coronation Street'.
The 'For the Love of Dogs' presenter's pet pooch Krystal will be pacing around the cobbles on tonight's (15.08.14) episode of the ITV soap alongside soap veteran Ken Barlow (Bill Roache), and she even managed to take a trip to the iconic Rovers Return pub.
Paul explained: "In her scene, Ken is preparing his car to go camping with Deirdre and he's outside the Rovers fixing the engine.
"Krystal comes out of the Rovers with Ali, the dog handler, and walks over the road."
Krystal the American Bulldog could be set for Hollywood if her acting debut was anything to go by as Paul was particularly impressed it took his canine just the one take to shoot her scene.
He added: "It took one take, the dog was a star. I think it was my tutelage in the dressing room.
"She gave the Barlows a run for their money, she upstaged the lot of them. That's my girl, she's a star!"
The opportunity arose when Paul took the rescue dog to the Salford set as part of his 'Paul O'Grady: For the Love of Dogs' show.
Krystal will make her acting debut in tonight's 'Coronation Street' at 8:30pm on ITV.

Nigel Planner says Rik Mayall's death has brought the Comic Strip gang closer together.
The 'Young Ones' actor - who was part of the alternative comedy group with the late star, along with Ade Edmondson, Peter Richardson, Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders - admitted that the untimely death of their close pal has helped to cement their friendship.
Nigel told The Sun Newspaper: "It was a terrible shock and it still feels unreal he is no longer here. Everyone is reeling from the loss.
"But it has brought the Comic Strip gang and all our partners and kids together. We are all much closer now."
A memorial will be held for Rik - who was just 56 when he died of "acute cardiac arrest" following his early morning run at his home in Barnes, south-west London - next month and the BBC are in the process of making a programme in tribute to the late comedian.
Nigel, 61, said: "His funeral was deeply sad - everyone was in shock really. I hope at his memorial everyone will have had a chance to process it a bit and it will be more of a celebration of his life."

Katie Price is in talks to take part in 'Celebrity Big Brother'.
The 36-year-old star - who gave birth to her and husband Kieran Hayler's second child last week - is said to have originally planned to take part in the upcoming series, which starts on Monday (18.08.14), but had to pull out because of her pregnancy.
But to ensure the mother-of-five can look after her newborn daughter, she's now said to be in negotiations to star in the next series - which will take place in January - in return for a large fee.
A source told the Daily Star newspaper: "Kate has been high on the list of dream CBB contestants in every series. This time she is determined to make it."
It had been rumoured that Kieran - who Katie revealed earlier this year had been having an affair with two of her best friends - was set to compete on the Channel 5 show, but Katie claims he turned down the £200,000 offer.
Kieran would not be the first of Katie's lovers to take part in the reality series as her second husband Alex Reid won the show in 2010.
Meanwhile, magician Paul Daniels and his glamorous assistant Debbie McGee were said to be confirmed to enter the famous house next week but they've now denied the claims, saying: "We can't due to personal issues."
Other celebrities rumoured to be taking part include former 'The Only Way Is Essex' star Lauren Goodger, 'Gogglebox' character George Gilbey and Kelly Brook's fiance David McIntosh.

Bruno Tonioli wants to play a villain in a TV show.
The 'Strictly Come Dancing' judge - who is often cracking jokes on the BBC One ballroom show when giving his verdict on contestants' routines - admits he would love to portray a bad guy on the small screen because he is fed up of being so jolly all the time.
He said: "I think it is very juicy playing evil. I play nice all the time, so it would be nice playing the other side."
The 58-year-old choreographer admits he would take inspiration from Joan Collins' famous character Alexis Carrington, the protagonist in popular 1980s US soap 'Dynasty', for his own bad guy role.
He added to the Daily Mirror newspaper: "I'd love to do a sitcom. I'd love to act.
"I'd like to be somebody very, very, evil. I would like to be a male version of Alexis Carrington, played by Joan Collins in 'Dynasty', anything that is kind of different, still with humour though."
As well as 'Strictly', Bruno is no stranger to starring in TV shows after making appearances in several including 'Absolutely Fabulous' in 2003.
He has also starred in a number of movies including 'Ella Enchanted' - which starred Anne Hathaway as the titular character - and 2001 comedy movie 'The Parole Officer'.

Former 'Strictly Come Dancing' professional Artem Chigvintsev has joined the line-up of 'Dancing with the Stars'.
The Latin dance expert has announced he will be partnering a celebrity on the programme - the US version of the BBC ballroom competition - and he can't wait for it to kick-off this September.
Artem revealed the news on his Twitter account, writing: "I very excited to be joining the pro line up for DWTS season 19 - bring it on!"
The Russian star was immediately congratulated by fellow former 'Strictly Come Dancing' pro James Jordan - who also will not be taking part in the BBC show this week.
James tweeted: "I'm so happy for my mate @artemchigvintse for joining DWTS!!! An amazing dancer and choreographer.
You will be sorely missed in this country. (sic)"
As well as the departures of Artem and James, professional dancer Robin Windsor has withdrawn from this year's 'Strictly Come Dancing' this year.
The performer - who has featured on the programme since 2010 - had to pull out after suffering a bad back injury on the last series.
He said: "It's been a really difficult decision but I plan to focus 100 per cent on my recovery and hope to be back in the ballroom as soon as possible, doing what I love best.
"In the mean time I wish the cast and crew best of luck with the new series which I'll be watching every week."
Robin is being replaced by Australian dancer Trent Whiddon, who has appeared on 'Dancing with the Stars' in the US and Australia.

Danielle Armstrong wants tanned babies.
The 26-year-old 'The Only Way Is Essex' star has admitted that now she's back with her boyfriend James 'Lockie' Lock, she's already thinking about having kids and wants them to be as orange as her.
Quizzed on whether she wanted to follow in the footsteps of co-star Billie Faiers - who gave birth to her first daughter recently - by having children, she said: "Yes! They'd be tanned and cute. I'd like four, but I want to make sure my kids are well looked after, so you'll know how my finances are if I only have two!"
The blonde beauty also revealed that Lockie - who recently had his "back, sack and crack" waxed on the ITV2 reality series - won't be involved in the decision as to how many children they'll be having.
When asked if he wants a big family as well, Danielle laughed: "He's got no choice, I'm carrying them, babe! I'll decide that one."
Meanwhile, Dani also confessed that while she thought it was funny that her boyfriend went ahead with his painful waxing procedures after winning it as a prize at bingo, she doesn't think he'll be going for a follow-up appointment.
She added to Star magazine: "I loved it, but I prefer him with hair. I don't want my man smoother than me!"
