Barbara Shelley has passed away.
Born on February 13 1932, Shelley appeared in the Blake's 7 episode Stardrive playing Dr Plaxton.
Shelley also appeared in the Doctor Who story Planet of Fire playing Sorasta.
Shelley later made her final acting appearance in The Stranger video More Than a Messiah playing Charlotte.
The Stranger series of videos was made by BBV and was made for a Doctor Who audience but was not exactly Doctor Who itself.
These videos featured Doctor Who luminaries and it was essentially Doctor Who in all but name and was made during the wilderness years between classic and NuWho.
Elsewhere Shelley was in Quatermass and the Pit playing Barbara Judd and Eastenders playing Hester.
She had been in two episodes of The Avengers each playing different characters in Dragonsfield & From Venus with Love playing the said Venus.
Dragonsfield has been lost since its original transmission in 1961. In a sad coincidence I had read that she was in Dragonsfield when I listened to the Big Finish audio remake of it not long after she died.
Her other work includes The Invisible Man, Danger Man, The Saint, The Gorgon, The Man From U.N.C.L.E., Dracula: Prince of Darkness, Rasputin: The Mad Monk & Man in a Suitcase.
She died on January 4 2021 just over a month before her 89th birthday as she unfortunately became a victim of COVID-19.
