Some sad news folks, I was reading over the weekend the actor Bernard Horsfall has passed away. Bernard Horsfall guest starred in four Dr Who stories, first in The Mind Robber as Gulliver then as a Time Lord in The War Games both in Patrick Troughton ere as the Doctor. He would next appear in Jon Pertwee ere in the Planet of the Daleks as Taron then finally in Tom Bakers ere once again as a Time Lord in The Deadly Assassin.

He played the part of Goth who tried to kill the Doctor in the Matrix taking his orders from The Master. The cliff hanger fight scene seeing Goth trying to drown the Doctor suffered a backlash from Mary Whitehouse's clean up TV campaign for at the time was looked upon as a very violent scene.
