Sad to report the passing of actor Christopher Benjamin today, at the age of 90. He appeared in Doctor Who on three memorable occasions. The first was as Sir Keith Gold in Inferno, and the last was as Sir Hugh in The Unicorn and the Wasp, but by far and away his most famous role came between these - as Henry Gordon Jago, the manager of the Palace Theatre, in The Talons of Weng-Chiang. This was a fan favourite role which he returned to many times on audio. There had even been thoughts of a spin-off series featuring Jago and his friend Professor Litefoot on TV back in 1977.
RIP
