Let's not forget Hotel! (!)
Yes! I'd forgotten about that. That also had Keeley Hawes in it, didn't it? I vaguely remember seeing that on YouTube about 5-6 years ago, then completely forgot about it.

Keeley played the hotel's receptionist, if my memory serves me well. Shame Hotel! isn't on DVD. I would have a good ol' laugh seeing that again.

Capaldi was also in Neil Gaiman's BBC mini-series Neverwhere around 1996.

Christopher Eccleston was in The Second Coming for ITV in 2003, also featuring Midnight's Lesley Sharp. I've got that on DVD. It's about Eccleston's character Stephen Baxter who is convinced he is the modern day version of Jesus.

Chrissy was convinced he was Jesus did you say? Bono won't be pleased when he hear's this. But then they do say that the difference between Jesus and Bono is that Jesus doesn't walk around Dublin pretending to be Bono.

That made me laugh, but seriously The Second Coming is a brilliant mini series and Ecclestone is really great.

Yeah I do remember, but it was a long time ago mind. When I watched the I thought that it was something that you need to watch more than once to fully appreciate its message I think. Unfortunately it's haven't got it on DVD...

My favourite show with Christopher eccleston in was an adaptation of Othello. When I looked at his and Peter Davidson's filmography the was quite surprised of how many things I have watched that they were in. I used to enjoy At Home With The Braithwaite's and All Creatures Great And Small which Peter Davidson was in

I thought Peter was also very good in The Last Detective for ITV. That show hasn't been mentioned yet!
Also, talking about Trans-Atlantic Who actors, don't forget Christopher Eccleston did S1 of Heroes as an Invisible Man who got to say his DW catchphrase...

Which was written by a certain Russell T Davies. And considering the dates, it may be the role that made Russell think of Chris when Doctor Who's revival was announced later that same year.

Camille has also been in New Tricks
She was also in Ashes to Ashes with Keeley Hawes (DW S8 Time Heist), the movie Nuns on the Run as a waitress, and the BBC Three drama Him & Her with Russell Tovey (Voyage of the Damned).
