Yes, too many to count ! Especially ones with Peter Capaldi! Here are just a few: Zeno in Some Live and some die youtu.be/F9vnV8DAVMsSidenote: Definitely watch if you have ever wondered what it would be like if young Peter Capaldi played a sexy Bowie-esque rockstar! Also yes it’s Peter doing his own singing! Soft top Hard Sholder youtu.be/OcRsoS5xFjgSidenote: Adorable rom com road trip movie Peter stars in with his real wife! Hotel! youtu.be/ShwLgg2iVxgSidenote: Not the greatest movie but watch if you are ever curious what a cross over with 8,12 and Graham would be like😁 Also Peter Capaldi sings!😊

100% agree. As much as I love Doctor Who and its related actors, when it comes to the cross over into other TV shows or especially movies none of them are in the top banana echelon (hello - Denzel Washington and Meryl Streep types here's looking at you) where I would watch something that I normally wouldn't because of them. That said, it is still delightful to come across Doctor Who alumni when expectations aren't riding too high in things like: the Fright Night remake (David Tennant), Jumanji sequels (Karen Gillan), The Walking Dead (David Morrissey as the Governor) and A Discovery of Witches (Alex Kingston).

Have to hard disagree with you on “none of them being top banana” there are many amazing actors on DW who deliver academy award level performances all the time and haven’t got nearly the recognition they deserve! I would 100% rather watch something that stared Peter Capaldi, Jenna Coleman, David Tennant, etc than someone more mainstream like Meryl Streep or Denzel Washington ( not that they aren’t very talented which they are)!

[Okay 12th Doctor ultimate fan ] I will agree with you that Peter Capaldi is capable of delivering an Academy winning acting performance and disagree with you that Jenna Coleman will ever reach the highlights that Meryl Streep has delivered time and time again. Timegirl - Have you ever watched this funny Graham Norton Show snippet where Tom Hanks and Peter Capaldi shame David Walliams for not winning an Academy Award? Those who haven't, I think you will enjoy viewing it.

With tongue firmly in cheek of course, so many film franchises are rendered so much more 'interesting' through connecting them to Doctor Who stories via supporting cast members of said films (usually by dint of their being filmed in UK studios): Star Wars > Doctor Who and the Daleks, Daleks Invasion Earth 2150 AD, The Face of Evil, Terror of the Vervoids, The Sea Devils Empire Strikes Back > The Space Museum, The Time Warrior, The Time Monster, City of Death, The Crusade
Alien > The Day of the Doctor Aliens > The Greatest Show in the Galaxy Alien 3 > The TVM, Attack of the Cybermen
Raiders of the Lost Ark > The Foe from the Future Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade > The Wheel in Space, City of Death, The Crusade, Revelation of the Daleks
Where Eagles Dare > Marco Polo, Spare Parts, Warriors of the Deep, The Time Monster, The Ice Warriors, The Mind of Evil, The Tenth Planet, Silver NemesisHammer Films, Carry on Films, in fact just about the whole of the British Film industry from the 1940's to the 1980's usually have at least one connection to the show. The Glyn Huston's and Edwin Richfield's who were far more prolific in the cinema, than their guest roles in 70's Who when the British Film industry collapsed, would otherwise have suggested. I am reminded of the game Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon, in this case whereby one can probably pick a film and likely get to Doctor Who in maybe three steps. Eric Roberts and Peter Cushing are the ultimate cheat cards in this game, mind you and maybe should be disqualified.... But maybe that's just my inner geek and a habit formed from the days prior to VHS and other later media releases, where seeing past Doctor Who actors and companions in other films and TV programmes was the only way of seeing them acting on screen.

Depends on your start/end point. They both only have a Bacon number of 2; Chris 'Spiders in Sheffield' Noth has a Bacon Number of ONE.

I had to look up the date of this episode as Colin looked a lot older than I thought for 1992. On the subject of William Russell, I watched him the other week in The Big Chance (1957), where he was the joint lead with Adrienne Corri which was worth seeing for them both in the central roles. Also, I think he may be one of the last surviving prominent actors from The Great Escape (1963) ( along with David McCallum and George Layton), working alongside Steve McQueen, James Garner, James Coburn, Charles Bronson et al. I remember first seeing him in The Professionals (1980, though it was a mid 80's repeat), and despite being disappointed in him having only one scene, my father assured me he was a big name actor in his time. Like I said, it use to be the only way one saw them on screen once upon a time (in the UK at least).

And there's Kevin Bacon in National Lampoons Animal House, with Donald Sutherland, who co-starred in the Amicus film Dr. Terror's House of Horrors, by Milton Subotsky and Max Rosenburg, alongside Peter Cushing and Roy Castle. Does that count as three degrees?

Just an addendum, but we have two living actors who have appeared both in Doctor Who and on screen with Charlie Chaplin....

Jon got the role of General Kramer in the Young Indiana Jones Chronicles, as well. For a story called Attack of the Hawkmen (now there's a UNIT story we've not seen yet). I'll check out The Big Chance, that sounds like quite a lot of fun. Oh, The Great Escape... It's amazing how many actors in that went on to do other things. Over the course of the film, you're rubbing shoulders with Thomas Crown, Illya Kuryakin, Bret Maverick, Derek Flint, Ernst Stavro Blofeld, George Cowley -- *takes deep breath* -- Paul Kursey, Dr John Watson and Ian Chesterton. It's extraordinary. I open up William Hartnell's filmography, look at Brighton Rock, and the actor who played Pinky was a very young Richard Attenborough. Linking the First Doctor with... Jurassic Park ("In all my experiences, young man, I have learned one crucial thing. Life, despite all obstacle, will find a way. Hm. Hu-hum.").

I must say, that I watched Jurassic Park at the Cinema at the time and the Brighton Rock connection was not lost on me. It seemed remarkable the breadth of his career at the time. And I only recently learned that it was Nigel Stock who was (rather unrecognisable) as the other, very spivvy member of their gang - your aforementioned Dr Watson, old alumni of George Smiley (Alec Guinness) and guest star of Time Flight. And lets lot forget Angus Lennie in the Great Escape, mate of Steve McQueen's 'Cooler King' and Angus the landlord in Terror of the Zygons (plus the Ice Warriors). (I did forget however that I saw An Unearthly Child back in the Five Faces 1981 season, but no matter.)I assume Hell Drivers needs no introduction - James Bond, Dr Who #1, The Prisoner/John Drake, Kuryakin?

I completely missed Hell Drivers, actually, so I went and had a bit of a scout around. RKO did some pretty good films back in the day ( A Town Like Alice was brilliant), I'm keen to check it out looking at the trailer. Thanks!
