Doctor Who, Obituaries, Old TV (and stuff)By TobyAugust 10, 2019Leave a comment

Terence Bayler 1930-2016 RIP

Doctor Who, News, Obituaries, Toby Hadoke's Who's RoundBy TobySeptember 23, 2016Leave a comment

TERENCE BAYLER I was very saddened to learn of the death of Terence Bayler. He was a fine actor: tall, handsome, with soulful eyes and a slight warble to his voice which could suggest plummy aristocracy or a hint of melancholy. He often played upper class toffs or British officers so I was shocked to discover,…
