Of all the actors who have played Doctor Who, only one was in a late-70s punk band called The Dreamboys. “It was me and some friends from art school,” says Peter Capaldi, the Time Lord in question. “We really didn’t realise how much work it took to make it in the music business.”
As his acting career blossomed the band fell off, but the 67-year-old Glaswegian has returned to music in recent years, releasing a pair of albums – 2021’s St Christopher and 2025’s Sweet Illusions – and completing a UK tour earlier this month.
