Richard Franklin has passed away.
Born on January 15 1936, Richard Franklin played Captain Mike Yates in Doctor Who between 1971 and 1974.
He later reprised Yates in the 30th anniversary skit Dimensions In Time, on Big Finish and on BBC Audio's The Nest Cottage Chronicles.
Also on Big Finish he appeared in other parts of the Whoniverse in which he played two characters in the Bernice Summerfield range in Dragons' Wrath playing Romolo Nusek and in Shades of Gray playing the Collector and in the first episode of the I, Davros mini-series, Innocence playing Colonel Nasgard, the (non-biological) father of Dalek creator Davros.
Elsewhere on Big Finish but outside of the Whoniverse, Franklin has appeared in Big Finish's The Tomorrow People, Sapphire & Steel, The Avengers and The Confessions of Dorian Gray ranges.
Steel in Big Finish's Sapphire & Steel range was played by David Warner whose other roles on Big Finish included playing the Unbound Third Doctor and Franklin as Mike Yates had appeared alongside official Third Doctor Jon Pertwee.
Franklin was also in Blake's 7 in Aftermath playing Federation Trooper.
Other work included The Saint & Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.
He died on Christmas 2023, exactly three weeks before his 88th birthday.
