I'd forgotten about that. I saw it years ago.

He's also in 'The Brink's Job' which is about a bank raid. I didn't think much of it.

Hard to think of anyone who is more completely associated with a single character than Falk.

Yes he had a tumour.

In one Columbo ep there's a line where he offers someone help or whatever, saying: "Three eyes are better than two". :) you may even know which episode that is. I have no idea.

+1

He did the publicity etc. for The Three Doctors, below, but was too ill to play a full role in the filming when the time came. He appeared on a small screen in the story, reading his lines off cue cards. All rather sad, So this photo is a weird glimpse at what never was.

and Richard Hurndall died before he'd even received his fee for The Five Doctors, lol. Well, I shouldn't lol about it. The whole topic is bizarrely grim.

David Bradley plays the first doctor in the new series, alongside Capaldi. God knows why this exists but still.
