Now that is a big part of my childhood gone.

The voice of Tufty and Buzby.

Not a huge Doctor Who fan but I liked the character he played.

RIP Bernie Cribbs

You forget he was in Dr Who before the majority of the modern Doctors were born.

Who can forget him as Albert Poop-Decker?

Loved him in Dr Who both old and new. Least they managed to film his 60th anniversary scenes. So he will be in the 60th

Heard it on the radio this morning. Watching that era back is a bit cringey nowadays but it was revolutionary at the time, especially her role.

I'd cringe if I had shagged the war criminal Kirk!

To be fair she was a strong female star in a top series that didn't submit, which was rare in an era of mini skirts & come to bed eyes on the TV. One wonders how much Gene Rodenberry etc planned and how much she took for herself.
