A Doctor Who Podcast
Today marks the birthdays of a trio of Who actors:
Peter Pratt menaced fourth Doctor Tom Baker as the Master in 1977’s “The Deadly Assassin”.
Bruno Langly (guest at next year’s Gallifrey One) played short lived companion Adam opposite ninth Doctor Christopher Eccleston.
and Timothy Dalton was lord high ruler of Gallifrey, Rassilon himself in “The End Of Time” with tenth Doctor David Tennant.
Happy birthday gents!
The march of the March babies just keeps parading in, and today we celebrate another two-fer.
Today marks what would have been the late Peter Pratt’s 89th birthday. Pratt was the second actor to play the Master, following Roger Delgado. He was buried under a lot of make up and ping-pong ball eyes in 1975’s “The Deadly Assassin”.
Also celebrating today is Bruno Langley who played short-term companion Adam Mitchell in “Dalek” and “The Long Game”. He turns 29 today.
Rounding out the birthday list is Rassilon himself (from End of Time) Timothy Dalton! How fitting that with all our James Bond tangenting of late about the secret agent. One of the 007s himself turns 68. Happy birthday to him!
