Right Said Fred

Beloved actor and singer Bernard Cribbins has died today aged 93. 

Perhaps best known for his novelty songs, as well as being the voice of The Wombles, as well as staring in The Railway Children, he would find fame twice in Doctor Who. In 1966 Cribbins was co-star in the 1966 Dr Who movie, playing Tom Campbell, with Peter Cushing as the lead. He returned to franchise as reoccurring character Wilfred Mott opposite David Tennant, Kylie Minogue and Catherine Tate in the relaunched series. It is understood he has reprised this role during recent filming for next year's 60th anniversary.

A great man who will be missed.
