It's a shame that they couldn't get John Levene or Richard Flanklin to appear in the 60th Anniversary specials alongside Katy Manning.
I was thinking up the first line to a Doctor Who fanfiction last night while going to sleep...
"Mike Yates thought that he was making out with a very pretty boy in a booth at one of those private clubs in Soho, but it was just the Master pumping him for information from a hypnotic stupor, this time."

Sophie Aldred's tribute to him:
I am sad. Richard was the sweetest man from the moment I met him at Imperial College where I was announced as the new companion. Loved talking impro with him. So glad he passed peacefully.
