James Garbutt only appeared in Doctor Who once, but luckily for him, he ended up featuring in one of the all-time great stories.

He played a Kaled scientist called Ronson in the 1975 serial Genesis Of The Daleks, which isn't just one of Tom Baker's best stories - it's one of the best stories that any Doctor has ever been in, full-stop.

Garbutt passed away on 5 April, aged 94.

Danny has been with WhatCulture for almost nine years, and is currently Doctor Who Editor and WhoCulture Channel Manager, overseeing all of WhatCulture's Whoniverse coverage. He has been writing and video editing for 10+ years, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers and uploading them to YouTube (they're admittedly a bit rusty by today's standards). If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order or to tell you about the making of 1988's Remembrance of the Daleks, Danny is the person to ask.
