A table showing how many credited cast members are still living from every single episode of Classic Doctor Who. For those who don't want to read the whole thing, the only episode with a confirmed sole survivor is The Deadly Assassin that being Tom Baker, there are five episodes with non of the main cast (Doctor, Companion, UNIT trio) surviving those being Spearhead from Space, Doctor Who and the Silurians, The Time Warrior, Death to the Daleks and The Monster of Peladon however all of these episodes do have at least one actor confirmed to be living. A star in the confirmation box means that the number of living guest cast is possibly lower than stated due to some actors having very few credits (such as the children in The Celestial Toymaker) in their acting career or having stopped acting decades ago but with no confirmation of death (or living status). For a lot of the later episodes those numbers are probably the most accurate due to the fact that actors will have been younger at the time and are probably still alive but for some no new information will be found out about them before their death, which the Doctor Who fandom will almost certainly know about somehow when it ultimately happens.

The Classic Doctor Who directors that are still with us, someone did this about 5 years ago so i thought i'd give it an update, since there have been 7 deaths since 2017. Waris Hussein (1938), 2 Serials 1963-64 Richard Martin (1935), 5 Serials 1963-65 John Gorrie (1932), 1 Serial 1964 Michael Imison (1935), 1 Serial 1966 John Davies (1934), 1 Serial 1967 Gerry Mill (?), 1 Serial 1967 Tristan de Vere Cole (1935), 1 Serial 1968 Timothy Combe (1936), 2 Serials 1970-71 Michael E. Briant (1942), 6 Serials 1971-77 Darrol Blake (1937), 1 Serial 1978 Paul Joyce (1944), 1 Serial 1981 John Black (1940), 2 Serials 1981-82 Tony Virgo (1948), 1 Serial 1983 Michael Owens Morris (?), 1 Serial 1984 Matthew Robinson (1944), 2 Serials 1984-85 Graeme Harper (1945), 2 Serials 1984-85 (12 post 2005 episodes) Sarah Hellings (1945), 1 Serial 1985 Chris Clough (1951), 6 Serials 1986-88 Andrew Morgan (1942), 2 Serials 1987-88 Alan Wareing (1958), 3 Serials 1988-89 Geoffrey Sax (?), TV Movie 1996 Norman Stewart, 2 Serials 1978-79, is reportedly deceased however I cannot find a date. To my surprise there is a quite a few pre-1980 directors left considering that there is only one writer from that time frame (Chris Boucher) .

The latest Doctor Who Blu-Ray collection has been announced featuring (from what i can tell) a recent interview with William Russell (who is now 97). If this is recent he is looking a lot better than other people his age.

Youtuber and member of the HermitCraft Minecraft SNP, TinFoil Chef reportedly passed away this morning according to his sister on Twitter.

Unique, unnatural causes and not too old. Should be a fair few points for whoever picked him.

Thanks for answering my questions PMed my team.

1) Would a multi-part story count as more multiple episodes or as just one episode. For example. Doctor Who - Many actors only appear in one serial but each serial can be 2-12 episodes with the cast running all the way through all parts Seinfeld - Some episodes are split into two parts e.g. The Pilot (S4) once again with cast members appearing in both parts 2) Archive footage (clip shows, flashbacks, etc...) , does it count as a second appearance 3) Minisodes - Some shows will have shorter "mini" episodes that will have been created for one reason or another (Fund raising, online exclusives, dvd extras) do these count (examples - Doctor Who, Not Going Out, Sherlock, The Office US)

Expanded media (Torchwood and SJA) 1. Elisabeth Sladen (Going from her final posthumous appearance) = minus 6 months 2. John Normington (Tom Flanagan, TW) = 9 months 3. George Murdock (Preacher, TW) = 9 Months 4. Robin Sachs (British Professor, TW) = 1 year 7 months 5. Nicholas Courtney (Brigadier, SJA) = 2 years 2 months

And David Dukas - Played Elias Griffin Jr. in Rosa (October 2018), died July 2021 - 2 Years and 9 Months

Missing Richard Hurndall - Died April 1984 after the airing of The Five Doctors in November 1983

Yikes never realised that. One of my favourite moments in Doctor Who is at the end of that serial when Benton re-ages, tarnished a bit now.

After a few seconds of research it appears there was one... Actress Jean Conroy died about a month before the airing of her role in The Dalek Invasion of Earth (1964)

I can't think of anyone in the mainline show but Elisabeth Sladen passed before the airing of the final season of the Sarah Jane Adventures

Thought it only right to mention the passing of David Warner here considering his massive involvement in Doctor Who, from roles on TV to playing the Doctor himself in Big Finish. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-62219839

I fear that is going to be a similar situation to what happened to Howard Attfield in 2007, who was also filming for Doctor Who as Donna's male parental figure before he died.

Currently in hospital!!!! Twitter

Is that supposed to make people want to keep Boris???

He also doesn't really appear that much in real lift anymore. I live in West Yorkshire and always used to see him on my local town street about 2 or 3 times a month. I don't think I've seen him at all since lockdown restrictions were lifted. I don't know him personally, this is just an observation.

Good to see them back but I'll admit that neither have aged quite so well IMO. Just have to wait to the episode to see how they're doing (hopefully Chibnall can pull some good writing and action out of his arse for once)

My List: 1) Pope Benedict 2) Michael Caine 3) Annette Crosbie 4) Barry Humphries 5) Chevy Chase 6) Joseph James DeAngelo 7) Harvey Weinstein 8) Bob Newhart 9) Eileen Derbyshire 10) Phyllida Law 11) Michael Parkinson 12) Tom Baker 13) Simon Fisher Becker 14) Vladimir Putin 15) Phil Collins 16) Ron Jeremy 17) Malcolm Hebden 18) Richard Franklin 19) Christopher Benjamin 20) Michael York 21) Robbie Coltrane Subs - Tim Curry Cheech Marin Joe Biden

Rio Hackford who appeared in S1 of The Mandalorian dead aged 51. https://variety.com/2022/tv/news/rio-hackford-dead-mandalorian-1235233527/

Damn both the same age as well.

Cars 2 - Paul Dooley Vanessa Redgrave Michael Caine
