Such sad news. Christopher was a wonderful & versatile actor of stage and screen. A legend of Doctor Who of course for his brilliant portrayal of Jago but it was always a delight to see him in any production. Deepest sympathy to his family and friends.
I have very fond memories of him as Windy Bill the Air Conditioning Unit in the live Little Big Time programme from 1973. Bless him, he had no memory of it which shows the scale of his career.
My favourite of his roles will always be Henry Gordon Jago, but I also loved his turn as the aptly named Sir John Glutton in the 70s series Dick Turpin.
It was really sad to hear the news late last night. I listened to some of the Jago & Litefoot audio stories this morning. Reminded me of how wonderful both he and Trevor Baxter were in the role. A very sad loss indeed.
