This year's Halloween lantern - Peter Capaldi

I've made an annual tradition of my Halloween pumpkin carvings in recent years, having churned out a respectable werewolf, a Frankenstein's monster, a scary skull and a Jimmy Savile, among others. So this year I've kept the flame alive, as it were, with a face I'm sure you recognise.

Oh shut up. It's obviously Peter Capaldi as Doctor Who. Okay, his face has come out a little on the wide side, let's see you do better.

What with Socks gigs last night in Milford On Sea and tonight in Lichfield, I had to carve it (and photograph it) entirely during the hours of daylight, which seems wrong for a halloween lantern. However our house is now filled with the all-pervading smell of pumpkin, so all's right with the world. Pretty nifty eh?
