Remembering legendary writer Robert Holmes on what would have been his 100th birthday.

arguably #RobertHolmes, #PhilipHinchcliffe, Sladen, and #TomBaker, in that order. In an extradiegetic sense, it was really Sarah who triggered the #regeneration bringing about the #FourthDoctor, since for as well as Jo worked with 3, what Sarah needed was a best friend rather than a daddy figure.
I have no context, but I love this. #WereWolfWednesday #HammerHorror #RobertHolmes #DoctorWho

a cartoon advertisement for a fictional spin-off of Doctor Who "produced" in about 1979, named "Jago and Litefoot" featuring the return of two secondary characters, Henry Gordon Jago (played by Christopher Benjamin) (left) and Professor George Litefoot (played by Trevor Baxter) (right) from the 4th Doctor story, "The Talons of Weng-Chiang" They are standing in front of a green tinged image of what purports to be a street in Victorian London, and are both wearing Victorian era fine clothes. Jago is tall and rather gaunt, with long sideburns, a large nose and a mustache. He is wearing a green jacket, a gold vest, and a white wing-collared shirt with a large flamboyant bright blue bow-tie. He has a red flower pinned to his lapel. Litefoot is shorter, with grey hair, a small mustache and a rather weak chin. He is wearing a dark purple jacket over a Maroon vest, with a black cravat. To the upper left of the image is the BBC's advertised details for the (fictional) TV show on a red field. "Robert Holmes' Jago & Litefoot" (Robert Holmes was the writer who created the characters, and here is the creator of the TV show). It will air on Wednesday nights at 7:15pm on the BBC.
and Baxter (right) renewing their roles
