Steve Pokol, who played nine different roles on Doctor Who (although only one was credited), may be 89 but he's still healthy enough to beat his wife.

Also the dad in Taste, one of the most memorable Tales of the Unexpected. (The one where Ron Moody's wine expert bets the daughters hand in marriage over his ability to name where a rare dinner wine comes from.) And he's got a small but recognisable role in The Living Daylights. And yes, Willz, he's in the Clapham Cook Poirot too. Always been on the fringes of my Oldies team, but I had a feeling he'd be ignored by the press when he died which has (shamefully imo) come to pass.
