10. Zohra Sehgal
Acclaimed actress Zohra Sehgal won't only be fondly remembered by Doctor Who fans for her guest roles in the series but she was also the longest surviving member of the show's original cast having appeared alongside First Doctor William Hartnell in the 1964 story Marco Polo and then again - in the bigger role of Sheyrah - in The Crusade the following year. Zohra received countless accolades throughout her career as an actress and choreographer including the Padma Vibhushan, India's second highest civilian honour, which she was awarded in 2010. She sadly passed away, aged 102, on 10th July.
