A salute to two Doctor Who luminaries who have died very recently:
Pioneering female director Paddy Russell (responsible for Pyramids of Mars and Horror of Fang Rock, among other serials and series).
And composer Dudley Simpson, who was the sound of Doctor Who from the mid 60s to the late 70s - pretty much the peak of its popularity the first time round.
But, of course, he also scored nearly all of Blake's 7 and the thing I'll remember the most when all the kazoos are forgotten, is its marvellous theme tune.
