9 Doctor Who Actors You Didn't Know Could Sing

It's like music to your ears.

By Dan Butler /

Actors are guaranteed to earn a legion of dedicated devotees as soon as they're name is attached to Doctor Who. The truth is, you have to be pretty damned talented to have landed a part in it in the first place. It's one of TV's most popular franchises, after all, so they're sure as hell not just giving roles away (Frank Skinner in Mummy on the Orient Express notwithstanding). Luckily, the casting directors always get it spot on. Doctors and companions come and go but they always leave a lasting legacy and their new found fans are guaranteed to follow them to the ends of the Earth as they embark on their future post-Whoniversal endeavours. Life aboard the TARDIS is turbulent at the very best of times and the range of dramatic performances that comes hand in hand with the world's longest running sci-fi show is so colossal that you really feel like you know your favourite heroes inside and out when the time comes for them to bid the confines of Saturday night teatime drama adieu. Unbeknownst to you, a lot of them have been harbouring a second secret talent, but thanks to the wonders of the Internet, such things don't remain hidden for long. Here are 9 Doctor Who actors you never knew could sing, and believe us... you're in for a treat!
