He outlived Jackie Hill by 31 years. Jackie and Bill Hartnell didn't even see the 30th (or Bill, the 20th).

Roy Boyd died on 27 April. A stalwart of the golden age of British TV, he had a bit-part in The Hand of Fear. I'm watching Crossroads on DVD at the moment, and he has just made his debut in a fairly long-running role. He was in the Wicker Man and all of the usual action series of the period.

A belated tribute to William Russell from me. First saw him in An Unearthly Child when it was repeated on BBC 2 in 1981. And of course the videos that followed in the 1990s. Always took it seriously, even when the story wasn't quite right (no I'm not naming then!) and his last appearance in The Power Of The Doctor. I noted when looking at his tributes that he had met Iain Armitage from Young Sheldon and they had a picture taken together. Goodbye William. Thank you for a lot of memories.

RIP.
I remember her from Eastenders certainly.
I see she was in an early monthly range story The Holy Terror from the Big Finish appearances.

Don’t know much about her work outside Who but she was excellent as the voice of Alpha Centauri.
Like William Russell, we were blessed she was able to come back in Empress of Mars for a cameo before she left us.
RIP.

Remember Robert for his role in The Invasion also Colin's memorable role as Condo.
RIP both.

They are indeed (along with Stuart Fell, the non-speaking Morbius monster)

What about the rest of the Sisters? They kind of had a speaking role - "Death Death Death Death!"

The obituary column in the latest Equity newsletter includes many familiar names (Pamela Salem, Michael Jayston, Clifford Norgate), but I note that Heather Emmanuel has died. She had a small role in The Android Invasion.
