Damaris Hayman:
† June 16 1929 – June 3 2021
The epitome of the eminently respectable horsey lady, Ms Hayman was cast strictly to type, having been born in Kensington and educated at Cheltenham Ladies' College. She was memorably eccentric in the classic Pertwee-era 'Doctor Who' story The Daemons, and had a number of appearances on TV, in 'The Sweeney', 'The Double Deckers', 'Wodehouse Playhouse' and, perhaps less predictably, 'The Young Ones' and 'Filthy Rich & Catflap'.
