"I am very sorry to hear the news," Tom Baker, his immediate replacement in the film role of Doctor Who, expressed sorrow. I was a huge fan of such a sophisticated actress. Colin Baker, another of his replacements, characterized him as "a man of such presence and stature." I can't believe he's gone – it's a big surprise. His was the most straight in terms of avoiding comedy among all of the Doctors' interpretations. Following the instructions in his will, his body was cremated at Putney Vale Crematorium with a toy Worzel Gummidge affixed to the coffin.
His death occurred six days after the American broadcast of the Doctor Who television series included a logo based on the one used in the opening credits, and reflected on that from his earliest television show.
