"I was once in a room with Kate Bush. I was too frightened to say anything." Doctor Who and The Thick Of It star Peter Capaldi on his love for Kate Bush and the Sex Pistols

Bush, Capaldi, Lydon.

In an alternate universe, the world wouldn't know Peter Capaldi for his unforgettable depiction of spin doctor Malcolm Tucker in the brilliant political satire The Thick Of It. Oh, or as the 12th incarnation of time lord Doctor Who, but rather as a punk rock legend, for before the Glaswegian actor ever appeared on a TV screen he'd taken a shot at rock 'n' roll infamy with the Bastards From Hell and the Dreamboys back in 1977.

But Capaldi's love for music has never waned - the 67-year-old star is actually touring the UK this month and next in support of his solo album Sweet Illusions - and in a new interview with The Quietus, he shares his favourite albums of all time, from punk rock classics by Television and the Sex Pistols, to more esoteric choices by Robert Donat and Frank Sinatra.
