Actor Nabil Shaban, who portrayed the slug-like alien capitalist Sil in late 1980s Doctor Who, dies at the age of 72. First appearing in 1985’s Vengeance On Varos, Sil was penciled in for a rematch against the Doctor in an episode that would’ve been titled Mission To Magnus, which was ultimately abandoned as the BBC demanded a rethink of the series’ 23rd season; despite this, Sil still make a comeback in parts five through eight of The Trial Of A Time Lord. Mission To Magnus would later be released as a novelization, and finally as a full-cast Big Finish audio drama, in which Shaban revived the role of Sil. (He appeared in another Big Finish audio, Antidote To Oblivion, in 2014, and revived Sil onscreen in the direct-to-video project Sil And The Devil Seeds Of Arodor. The character of Sil was popular enough to become an action figure.) Shaban turned his disability to his advantage in playing the part of the legless creature, but also advocated for other actors with disabilities throughout his career.
Actor John Leeson, best known for providing the voice of K-9 in both 20th and 21st century Doctor Who, dies at the age of 83 after a brief illness. Born John Ducker in 1943, Leeson had been acting since the 1960s when the voice-only role of K-9, a robotic dog, was offered to him for the 1977 Doctor Who story The Invisible Enemy. With the radio-controlled prop still in development, Leeson spent rehearsals on all fours portraying the dog, endearing himself to his castmates and impressing then-producer Graham Williams. Upon seeing Leeson’s voice paired with the finished prop, enough potential could be seen to extend K-9’s stay, making him a regular TARDIS traveler through the 1980–81 season. Such was the outcry over K-9’s departure during Tom Baker’s final season that the first Doctor Who spinoff, K-9 & Company, aired over the holiday season in 1981. This was enough to guarantee Leeson’s return in 1983‘s The Five Doctors for a brief scene, which in turn led to his return in the 2006 Doctor Who episode School Reunion, which set up The Sarah Jane Adventures, in which Leeson was a recurring voice artist as K-9. 2010 also saw the premiere of an Australian-made K-9 spinoff, which drastically revamped the character’s appearance but retained Leeson as K-9’s voice. Leeson also voiced K-9 for numerous Big Finish audio dramas and BBC audiobook readings. Leeson’s on-camera appearances included some episodes of Doctor Who in which K-9 did not appear (since he was already under contract), a couple of Blake’s 7 guest appearances, and guest roles in everything from Whoops Apocalypse to ‘Allo! ‘Allo!
