William Russell
1924-2024
We are all very saddened to hear of the passing of William Russell. One of the original stars of Doctor Who. Arguably it's first true hero...
Naturally we'll be paying tribute to him later in the week. For now though, all our gratitude love and respect
Ian McLachlan passed a few days ago. Today would've been his 69th birthday. Ian was an early leading light of organised fandom. Many name him as the First

A magical character in his own right: modest, gentle and wise❤️

Happy 72nd Birthday to the Doctor: the man who played the Fifth Doctor between 1981 and 84. One of Britain's best loved actors.

John Nathan-Turner would've celebrated his 76th birthday today...
Still the longest-serving producer of

Not long ago we spent just a little time larking around with Michael. None of us will forget how generous and game he was. Our condolences to his dear family x
Wishing much loved actor Peter Capaldi a very happy 64th birthday today!! 🎂
As the 12th Doctor he shredded his guitar & went to heaven and hell and back! Living Peter's personal dreams...
Inspiring.
Irreplaceable. Awesome!

True timeless TV magic: storytelling and a character that endured. The only First incarnation of the Doctor. As originated by William Hartnell.
Maximum respect to the man who brought the Doctor to life, on screen OTD in 1963 for the very first time.

Is there any point us talking about figures no one can ever find, let alone purchase?
This range has become a massive source of frustration to the target audience. And it's well past time Character did something about that.

I asked someone the same thing, earlier but it seems not.
This must be the very bottom of an already very shallow barrel being scraped.
Who by? What for?
God knows.
Current Doctor, David Tennant and companion Catherine Tate will present an award together at this Sunday's BAFTA TV ceremony.
Both Freema Agyeman and Billie Piper will also be attending 🤔 The day after a new trailer too?
Could be something; could be nothing!
