Doctor Who: 10 Celebrity Cameos From The Revived Series
A foray of famous faces that popped up unexpectedly.
The revived series of Doctor Who is known for its impressive guest stars but over the years there have been plenty of well known figures - for the sake of this article let's just call them 'celebrities' - who have agreed to make cameo appearances in the series. The most recent example of this is singer songwriter Foxes, pictured above, who was briefly seen in Series 8's Mummy on the Orient Express lending her voice to a superb cover of Don't Stop Me Now and there's plenty more where that came from because Doctor Who has played host to its fair share of familiar faces since its return in 2005. Admittedly, most of them - if not all - have been nothing serious and they only really serve to highlight the show's ability to encapsulate what's going on in the real world more than anything else (not that Doctor Who isn't the real world). To celebrate one of the more lighthearted aspects of the revived series, here's a list of its top 10 celebrity cameos to date. Some made sense and some didn't but it's important to remember to take them in the spirit in which they were intended. It's worth pointing out that there's one or two which will make you over analyse what's canon way more than they probably should so let's just say, to avoid argument, that there basically is no canon anymore. It's been 51 years and Doctor Who fans still haven't learned that lesson.
