10 Doctor Who Stars Before They Were Famous

8. Peter Capaldi

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MBUczMqiVRU Oh, Doctor! What nice... breasts you have! Anybody who thinks our favourite Time Lord has never been a female obviously hasn't seen this hidden gem which was unashamedly unearthed from the TV archives upon Peter Capaldi's reveal as the Twelfth Doctor. Back in 1993, the Scottish star appeared as a transexual called Vera Reynolds in the award-winning police procedural Prime Suspect and it's safe to say that he well and truly gave it his all as he took to the stage to perform a drag act in the guise of Marilyn Monroe, earrings and all. He wanted to be loved by you, just you, and nobody else... apparently. The series, lead by Dame Helen Mirren as the formidable DCI Jane Tennison, was set in the seedy underworld of prostitution but there were some light hearted moments, too. And the video above can certainly vouch for that!
