In Memoriam

It’s a sad fact that as the years move on, we are slowly losing more and more of Who’s extensive extended family (as well as people from other walks of life). I thought it might be worth having a thread we can gather such sad news together.

This was partly prompted by today’s news that Pik Sen Lim has died aged 80, known in the Whoniverse for playing Major Chin Lee in The Mind of Evil and reprising the role for Big Finish as well as being the wife of writer Don Houghton.

And we lost Brian Wilson.

Though that has nothing to do with Doctor Who that I know of…

I saw that in the music topic and it also prompted me to start this thread.

Pet Sounds is one of these albums I do like to pop on occasionally, because it’s got some great music on it.

Brian Wilson was a talented musician…

No Doctor Who connection, but Harris Yulin has passed away, June 10th, apparently.

It’s possible you remember him as Quenton Travers from the Watchers Council in Buffy the Vampire Slayer:

Or you might remember him from the amazing DS9 episode “Duet”:

And Ghostbusters II and the legacy sequel.

And other places, I imagine, as well.

Him and Nina Visitor in “Duet” were amazing, though. Such a memorable episode.

And the Watcher’s Council would be rather different without Quinton…
