Malcolm is a veritable pop-culture encyclopaedia; when he's not shouting at people, he reads voraciously and watches a lot of movies and television, and he also absorbs a lot by osmosis from his family members, especially the youngsters. There's also the "Zeitgeist tapes" (from The Thick Of It S1.02):
So he will generally be inclined to fourth-wall the shit out of the people that he recognises. If I don't see a comment from you here, I'll go with what's in the community Fourth Wall Permissions post.
Also, Malcolm swears a lot. A lot. If you don't want your character sworn at ... probably they shouldn't interact with him. But if you don't mind, let me know if there are any restrictions or anything else noteworthy.
So, fill out the following bit and post in a comment below.
Also, please feel free to fourth-wall the hell out of Malcolm and to confuse him with other Capaldi characters (Frobisher from Torchwood, Sid's dad from Skins, even Caecillius from DW ep "The Fires of Pompeii").
Malcolm: This is important stuff, Hugh! Right, we do a weekly digest for the Prime Minister: we boil down the week's television, cinema, music, so on.
Ollie: The Zeitgeist tapes.
Malcolm: Exactly, the Zeitgeist tapes. EastEnders highlights, choice bits from all the reality shows, 10 seconds of music videos, that kind of thing.
Hugh: That's why the PM always looks so clued-up! I always thought he was genuinely quite with it.
Malcolm: No, no, he's as bad as you; he uses phrases like "with it" as well. Right, I'm gonna bike that over to Terri; watch it, ok? And listen, when you talk to Angela Heaney, remember to stick the boot into Hewitt. I'm putting it about that Cliff offered him two free weeks at his Tuscan villa for that piece, ok?
Hugh: Ten-four, daddy-o!
Malcolm: Hey, hey, hey, this is serious! You've got 24 hours to sort out your policy on EastEnders, right? Or you're for the halal butchers!
[Ollie does an imitation of the EastEnders opening music]
Malcolm: Even he knows.

I do give permission to Malcolm to fourth-wall this character.
Notes and restrictions: I think it'd be funny? Any and all you want to go with works for Donny. Recognizing him as that director who does those horror films would be fine - if Malcolm knows his Tarantino he's more than welcome to fourth wall the hell out of Donny too.
I have a great idea for a plot or a joke and it is: And by great, you mean really half-assed and not a plot at all, then....no, I still got nothing.
Special swearing considerations: ahahahahaha swearing is fun. Donny won't see what the big deal is.
Character name: Angelica Sexby
Notes and restrictions: Right. Since he'd risk fourth-walling himself (?) and possibly giving a few people nervous breakdowns, I was thinking not mentioning The Devil's Whore might be good. I was going to let him recognize Andrea Riseborough....but we'll play this one by ear. (aka ask Kim what she thinks because she's all-knowing)
I have a great idea for a plot or a joke and it is: She's probably going to think he's the King/some kind of distant relative of said King. I imagine she's pretty conditioned to bowing, so that'll suck for a bit.
And then she's gonna stay far, far away from him.
Special swearing considerations: Nope. Do it up.

My advice is... You can do it to Sexby, because he's historical enough to be a little confused/a little flattered, and has facetwins just to think 'John Simm' is another one of them, but I wouldn't pull it on Angelica. And Sexby, if informed, would tell you the same.
