I'm sad to learn of the passing of William Russell, who played schoolteacher Ian Chesterton in the first two seasons of #DoctorWho. It was great that he made a cameo in the series in 2022. I just finished "Susan's War" from Big Finish where he teamed up with Carole Ann Ford and he was in great form. May he rest in peace and may our Lord have mercy on his soul. Mr. Russell was 99 years old.

@cublanco You know, I had totally forgotten that. It's been a while since I heard that story and after reading your message I decided to listen to it again as it's been a while since I heard it. No offense to anyone who liked "Day of the Doctor" but "Light at the End" was an amazing anniversary special and is what I'd expect for a 50th anniversary story.
