Personal Quote:

In my opinion, Caroline John didn't fit into Doctor Who (1963). I couldn't really believe in her as a sidekick to the Doctor, because she was so darned intelligent herself. The Doctor didn't want a know-it-all by his side, he wanted someone who was busy learning about the world. Although Caroline and I worked well together, I don't think it did the series any harm when she left. See more »

Trivia:

He appeared in two comedy film set in ancient Rome: Carry on Cleo (1964) and A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum (1966). See more »
