I’ve been a fan of Doctor Who since 1983, and watched every episode the show’s ever put out (862 as of now), even including reconstructions of the lost 1960s episodes. I know probably far too much about this show than one person probably should. In all those episodes, I’ve seen a lot of actors.

Toby Hadoke has paid a touching tribute to those we lost in 2018.
