Sorry to hear that veteran actor, Bernard Cribbins has sadly passed away, aged 93.
Best known to me as Tom Campbell in the 1966 film, Daleks - Invasion Earth 2150 AD, seen here with Peter Cushing and Jill Curzon on this cinema F.O.H. photo.
He also appeared in the 'new' Doctor Who series, as Wilfred Mott between 2007 and 2010.
Our sincere condolences to his friends and family.

My Missus showed me this online and I was amazed at the size range of these Star Wars stars. I sort of knew but this picture was a surprise anyway.
What do you think?
I'm always fascinated by the sheer number of Action Man style accessories that appeared around the world in the 70's. I don't collect them but I think I could if I tried.
Spurred on by Big Jim, Action Jackson and other actions dolls, many more toy companies jumped onboard and released their own accessory ranges.
Here's a Medic set from another company's range, MEKS by German outfit Welo in the 1970's. They issued lots of carded sets and they are no doubt popular with German collectors especially but I'm sure have wider Action Man appeal.
Have you come across Weks by Welo or other Action Man type toys? Are these knockoffs would you say?
Is this like the recent Spanish ship? Comet Fire from Message from Space movie. Die cast toy by Popy.
I was amazed at the effort toy designers had gone to making this bike I saw on Todocolleccion.
There's an entire Mickey Mouse fishtank attached the handlebars. In fact Mickey gets a front seat view of the driveway. he looks like he's on a space mission!
Is this a bike you would have liked readers? What would you have liked to see on the front?
