DoctorWhoNews.com has reported on the passing of Bernard Archard.
Archard appeared twice on Doctor Who, the first was in 1966 in Patrick Troughton's debut story The Power of the Daleks as Bragen and in 1975 alongside Tom Baker in Pyramids of Mars as the possessed Marcus Scarman.
I feel very saddened by the loss of Bernard Archard because years ago before I started buying the videos and DVDs, a recording of Pyramids of Mars on TV was the only Doctor Who story that was available for me to watch.
So I have seen Pyramids of Mars countless number of times and Bernard Archard was superb in being the spooky Marcus Scarman.
He was born on August 16 1916 and died May 1 2008. Aged 91.
Incidentally Archard died exactly six years after the death of former producer John Nathan-Turner in 2002.
Also the latest issue of Data Extract has reported the death of two other three other Doctor Who contributors:
Walter Randall (1930-2008) - He appeared in six Doctor Who serials: The Aztecs (1964), The Crusade (1965), The Daleks Master Plan (1966), The Invasion (196, Inferno (1970) and Planet of the Spiders (1974)
David Nettheim (1925-2008) - Appeared as Fedorin in The Enemy of the World (1967-8)
Walter Howarth (1937-2008) - Was the artist responsible for the artwork for many Doctor Who Christmas Annuals including the first one in 1965.
