William Russell also narrated some of the Target audiobooks, which I enjoy greatly. Actually, a little admission here, sometimes when I am stressed and need some calm in my life, I like to listen to Russell reading 'Doctor Who and the Zarbi,' a book I loved dearly as a young boy. Listening to it takes me right back to sitting on the sofa in my grandparents' house, reading that book for the first time. Happy memories.
William Russell, you are much missed.

In recent years, William Russell brought Ian Chesterton to life again in various audio adventures for Big Finish. My favourite of these is 'The Revenants,' an atmospheric story set not on some strange new world in the far-flung future but on Orkney in the 1950s. Highly recommended.

Although I was in the world when William Russell was appearing in Doctor Who, I was just a baby. Growing up, I only knew Ian Chesterton from the Target novelisations. I didn't get to see him onscreen until the BBC repeated 'An Unearthly Child' as part of its Five Faces of Doctor Who season in 1981.

Remembering William Russell, who played one of the earliest (and one of my very favourite) of the Doctor's companions, Ian Chesterton, on what would have been his 100th birthday.

RIP William Russell. One of the original travellers through time and space. Off on his Great Adventure aged 99 and a half. What a joyous thing to have been there at the beginning of a legend. #DoctorWho #WilliamRussell

RIP William Russell. So glad we got to see him back in Doctor Who one more time as Ian Chesterton, in Jodie Whittaker’s final episode. https://www.theguardian.com/stage/2024/jun/04/william-russell-obituary #DoctorWho #WilliamRussell #1960sTV #60sTV #RIP

Watching the William Russell Mythmakers interview from #Reeltime and I completely understand the conceit of interviewing him on a #London Routemaster bus. What I don't understand is why they kept showing shots of the outside of the bus - especially the one of the fuel cap! It just seemed really random. The bit at Riverside was lovely though. It was weird watching the William from about 30 years ago, though, knowing he's now nearly 100!

Fancy a deep dive into An Unearthly Child? I've curated a Wakelet board with as much as I can find about the story online - reference works, biographies, videos, images, podcasts and related items such as linked stories in the Whoniverse. If you think I've missed something obvious, let me know.

#WilliamRussell, an aide to #Trump, was at a D.C. federal courthouse on Thurs for a #GrandJury appearance that is part of an investigation of Trump, as the #DOJ moves toward deciding whether to criminally charge Trump in connection w/his efforts to subvert the results of the 2020 presidential election.

Who doesn't love a bit of Hartnell Historical on a Friday? Here's my review of the, frankly, brilliant The Aztecs, one of my top 10 #DoctorWho stories of all time.

Listening to Toby Hadoke's excellent Too Much Information podcast about the first episode of Marco Polo, The Roof of the World, has prompted me to post my review of the story. It's one I know lots and lots of people like but it is one, like The Myth Makers that I really struggle with.

@CowBear I love The Aztecs. All time favourite Hartnell story and a unparalleled performance from #JacquelineHill. #DoctorWho #classicwho #WilliamHartnell #WilliamRussell #CaroleAnnFord #aztecs.

Another review from ages past on my blog. Through some interesting reasoning, Lance Parkin dates The Keys of Marinus to nearly 50,000,000 BC so I reviewed it early on in my marathon. I do love this silly little quest story. If you do too, we can definitely be friends.
