Derek Martinus has died at the age of 82 after a long illness.

A highly respected name from early years of Doctor Who, Derek worked with the first Three Doctors, helming Galaxy Four, Mission to the Unknown, The Tenth Planet, Evil of the Daleks, The Ice Warriors and Spearhead from Space.

Derek had an extensive CV besides his work on Who, and will be much missed.

Having already played the role of Guy on Broadway, Arthur Darvill has now taken on the mantle in the London production of Once The Musical at The Phoenix Theatre - only until 10th May though!

Here's a video of him, and the cast, performing "When Your Mind's Made Up" at a recent social media event.

Legendary Who Director Christopher Barry has died at the age of 88.

His work spanned 16 years, 43 episodes and the first four Doctors. Apart from bringing us four episodes of The Daleks, Chris was also entrusted with two of the first three regeneration stories, Power of the Daleks and Robot.

A true gentle man, Chris will be greatly missed.

This should be hitting doormats in the Uk right now, and overseas members very soon....
