Doctor Who star Michael McStay has sadly died aged 92.
A spokesperson for the British actor, who had a stellar career spanning over 60 years, confirmed the news.
The screen and stage legend died from heart failure on Sunday May 11th after spending time with his family.
His representative wrote: “It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Michael McStay, an actor of the highest standing and talented writer, whose career across stage, screen and radio spanned over six decades.”
Doctor Who fans will remember his role as Derek Moberley in The Seeds of Doom the sixth and final serial of the 13th season of Doctor Who, which was first broadcast in six weekly parts on BBC1 from 31 January to 6 March 1976.
In the serial, the Fourth Doctor (Tom Baker) agrees to go on one final mission in his role as UNIT’s scientific advisor to investigate a mysterious pod found in the Antarctic. However, the crazed millionaire and plant collector Harrison Chase (Tony Beckley) is also interested, and has sent his violent henchman Scorby (John Challis) and the botanist Arnold Keeler (Mark Jones) to acquire the malignant alien plant for his personal collection.
