David Collings had numerous Doctor Who credits to his name, from roles in the main TV show, to vocal performances in Big Finish audio dramas.

Onscreen, he starred opposite the Fourth and Fifth Doctors across an eight-year time period from 1975 to 1983, playing Vorus in Revenge Of The Cybermen, Poul in The Robots Of Death, and, perhaps most famously, Mawdryn in Mawdryn Undead.

He later played an alternative incarnation of the Doctor in the audio drama Full Fathom Five, which was released in 2003.

Collings passed away on 23 March, aged 79.

Danny has been with WhatCulture for over ten years, and is currently Doctor Who Editor and WhoCulture Channel Manager, overseeing all of WhatCulture's Whoniverse coverage. In 2022, he took charge of WhoCulture and has grown it into the biggest Doctor Who channel on YouTube, and one of the biggest Doctor Who communities on the web full-stop. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
