RIP John Fraser, who played the Monitor in Logopolis (1981). He was 89. I was lucky enough to have a correspondence with him a few years ago when he was living in Tuscany. He was a kind, unassuming gentle man. His memoirs are among the juiciest gossipy anecdotes I’ve ever read! pic.twitter.com/yYdGwosNTI
