A few lists of living actors from cult British SF. Tried for the twenty living actors who appeared in most episodes. Credited cast members only. There's a lot of actors out there with no dates who stopped acting decades ago, so stuck with those known to be alive.

Sapphire and Steel (in at least 2 episodes)

1. Jennie Stoller b. 1946

 

 

The Guardian has an obit for acclaimed stage actress Jennie Stoller (who somewhat unjustly has her sole mention here in the SF thread!), aged 72 from cancer.

Here is a new photo of most of the other surviving doctors:

 

 

 

Also one of Peter Davison and the terrible trio. Janet Fielding is wrapped up in a shawl, possibly due to her cancer:

 

 

Monarch's up the back, looking green with envy about the new talking frog in the series.

 

Okay, I'll get me coat.

So someone's wearing a shawl because they have cancer?

 

I wonder what the person wrapped up in the quilt has...

All I know is that I felt a bit ill after forking out £40 for the blu ray  ! Especially when I already bought all the stories onn DVD ! I'm hoping it's worth it for the sofa commentaries though !

All Creatures Great and Small producer Bill Sellars dead aged 93.

 

Here because he directed Celestial Toymaker, but mostly because directors dont fit into the Acting Threads and I can't be arsed looking any longer to find the "more" right thread.

Been looking for that all day, thanks time! I'll have a swatch. Probably the only mention David Fisher will get all year.

[YoungWillz 21,024]

Crikey that was a rollercoaster.

 

Glad to see he caught some previous omissions. Never thanks us though.....
