Doctor Who Series 2 Cast: Where Are They Now?

Dr. Singh has one of the most unintentionally hilarious deaths in the entire history of Doctor Who, and this is a show where a bloke once got eaten by a chair.

In Series 2 finale Doomsday, the Cult of Skaro announce they want to assimilate all human knowledge. They do this by placing their plungers around Singh's head, before sucking out all of his brain juice like he was a fleshy Calippo.

It didn't look like a nice way to go, but it sure was fun to watch.

The ill-fated doctor was played by Raji James, who Eastenders fans will recognise as Ash Ferreira, part of one of the most hated families in the show's history.

James' bad luck in Albert Square didn't put him off appearing in soaps however, and he's recently enjoyed stints on both Coronation Street (below) and Hollyoaks.

Do you think he's going for some sort of soaps record? If so, then he's got to nearly be there!
