Ralph Watson has passed away.
Born on January 20 1936, Watson has appeared in Doctor Who in The Underwater Menace playing Generator Scientist, The Web of Fear playing Captain Knight, The Monster of Peladon playing Ettis and The Horror of Fang Rock playing Ben.
In 2019 he reprised Captain Knight for Big Finish in The Diary of River Song episode The Web of Time made as a prequel for Captain Knight to The Web of Fear with the word web being the one thing both titles have in common.
Coincidentally I recently saw Watson in the documentary Going Underground on the making of The Web of Fear on The Web of Fear Special Edition DVD release.*
Outside of the Whoniverse his work included Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em, Poirot & Spender.
He died on June 20 2021 at the age of 85.
*Eerily enough when he commented about he as Captain Knight being dead he says that he as Ralph Watson isn't there yet and more eerily The Web of Fear Special Edition DVD release came on August 16 2021 almost two months after his death on June 20.
