(opens in new tab)
Yeah, well, living in a small, enclosed community on a tiny Scottish island, you have to get your kicks somehow. And sometimes, burning virgins just isn’t enough.

12 Val Kilmer Willow
(opens in new tab)
When Madmartigan (Val Kilmer) disguises himself as a woman, and has to fend off unwelcome proposals from a beardy fat bloke called Lug, he picks a pair of gazongas the likes of which exist only in the fantasies of men who’d like breasts to look like that.
13 Colin Morgan Merlin “With All My Heart”
(opens in new tab)
Our favourite young warlock invented many elaborate schemes to help hide his powers from Arthur – even dressing up as a woman! To help break Morgana’s hold over Gwen, Merlin and Arthur, taking a drugged Gwen with them, travel to the Cauldron of Arianrhod where Merlin dons a dress to become the sorceress Dolma to perform the powerful magic. Merlin wistfully (a detection of flirting?) sweeps his hair from his eyes and blushes when Arthur hints at recognising him (definitely flirting!). Maybe Merlin should have been a woman more often (and the slash writers go wild).
14 Scott Bakula Quantum Leap, various
It’s fair to say that Scott Bakula wore his fair share of dresses on Quantum Leap. But although he has a reputation as the Danny La Rue of sci-fi, Sam Beckett didn’t actually leap into the body of a woman (stop sniggering at the back) for the first time until the fourth episode of the second season (“What Price Gloria”). Bakula carried off the high heels so well, the writers couldn’t resist repeating the exercise, and Sam leapt into a total of nine women over the course of the series, including real life celebrity sex doctor, Ruth Westheimer.
Ones we didn’t have room for: Dean Winchester (Jensen Ackles) reveals that he has a penchant for panties in Supernatural’s “The End”; Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher) as the bounty hunter in Return Of The Jedi (mind that thermal detonator!); Mulan dressed as a man so she could join an army – she even sang about it in the film of the same name; Freddy Krueger in A Nightmare On Elm Street 4 (another scary nurse); Chris Tucker’s character in The Fifth Element has, shall we say, interesting dress sense; and Plan Nine From Outer Space director Ed Wood was, of course, the king of cross-dressing. We salute you, Ed!
