Today we wish Marcus Gilbert a happy 64th birthday. He played Ancelyn, the heroic knight from an alternative dimension, in Battlefield. In a story based on Arthurian myth, Ancelyn was derived from Lancelot.
Also turning 64 today is writer Simon Nye, creator of the sitcom Men Behaving Badly, and who wrote Amy's Choice.
They share their birthdays with Simon Chadwick, who played UNIT Major Kilburne in SJA: Enemy of the Bane opposite Nicholas Courtney, in his final appearance as the Brigadier. He is 53.
Thomas Nelstrop, who played Kathy Nightingale's husband-to-be Ben Wainwright in Blink turns 42.
Today would have been the late David Warner's 81st birthday.
We also remember the actor / comedian Mike Reid, who passed away on this date in 2007, aged 67. Best known for playing the long-running character of Frank Butcher in EastEnders, he started off his acting career as an extra, appearing in The Myth Makers, The Massacre and The War Machines.
The two worlds collided when he featured as Frank in the 30th Anniversary 3-D crossover Dimensions in Time.
