Andrew Sachs who provided the voice for Skagra in the webcast version of Shada and an alternate version of Adric in the Big Finish audio The Boy Who Time Forgot has died aged 86.

Apparently he had also been in the running to become the 7th Doctor

Love that character, love that story. Met Johnny Dennis once, and what a thoroughly charming old-school gentleman he was!

Murray was the bus driver for the alien tourists wasn't he?

Yep. Great character. Loved the 50's Earth period...and read The Eagle! Liked the fact that he was so relieved when the Doctor saved his bacon with his company after the crash. His line "...it's already touch and go." hinted at quite a backstory. For such a sunny (and IMO delightful) story the fate of Murray and the other passengers was really dark. RIP Johnny...only saw him in 2 Who episodes but thought he really made a mark with his performance.

I agree: that story is so fun and jolly and summery, but the busload of lovely funny tourists gets blown up!
