Honor Blackman is a name that most people will recognise for her work outside the Whoniverse, such as her appearance in 1964's Goldfinger as Bond girl Pussy Galore.

But she also had a memorable albeit brief role in Doctor Who too, playing Professor Sarah Lasky in the 1986 Sixth Doctor serial Terror Of The Vervoids.

She then returned to Doctor Who a couple of decades later, voicing Queen Anahita in the Big Finish audio drama The Children Of Seth, a Fifth Doctor story.

Blackman passed away on 5 April, aged 94.

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!
