Doctor Who / Star Wars Actor Connections

I’ve been on a thing lately of looking up where actors from Doctor Who have shown up in other science fiction franchises that I enjoy. This started out by noticing how often we’d see crossover appearances with shows like Blake’s 7 or The Avengers, but I’ve started looking further afield. Of course, if we’re looking for other popular franchises, than we can scarcely look further than Star Wars.

Doctor Who Convention Encounters: Robin of Sherwood Actors

I’ve mentioned a few times attending a convention in Chicago in 1993, called Visions. It was billed as celebrating the 30th anniversary of Doctor Who, the 15th anniversary of Blake’s 7, the 6.5th anniversary of Red Dwarf (really!) and the 10th anniversary of Robin of Sherwood.
