WEARING a multi-coloured frock, purple wig and with layers of thick white make-up, Who could this be?
Peter Capaldi, of course. And we bet he'd like the Daleks to exterminate our exclusive pictures.
Back in December 1981, the latest actor to play Doctor Who dressed in drag with pal Craig Ferguson as the Ugly Sisters for a festive gig.
Craig, who hosts The Late Late Show in the States, looked equally fetching in a purple ballgown and aquamarine wig with a loveheart painted on his face.
It was two months after they'd disbanded their punk band the Dreamboys.
This was the first time Peter, 55, would dress in drag but it wouldn't be the last. In 1993, he starred as a transsexual with Helen Mirren in Prime Suspect, dressing up as Marilyn Monroe.
