A Legendary Actor of Who Has Passed

It is with a sad heart that we must report this to you our fans; Earlston J. Cameron, CBE has passed away today July 3, 2020 at the young age of 102.

Earl Cameron was born (August 8, 1917) in Bermuda and a long-time resident in England; he is best known as one of the first black actors to break the “color barrier” in the United Kingdom. Cameron had a less difficult time than other black actors because of his Bermudian accent sounded very American to British ears. An example of this is the speaking role as Joseph, the chauffeur in the American play The Petrified Forest by Robert E Sherwood.

Cameron’s earliest role was the BBC 1960 TV drama The Dark Man, where he played a West Indian cabbie in the UK. The show examined the reactions and prejudices he faced in his work driving around the UK. He also appeared in a range of popular television shows such as the series Danger Man (Secret Agent in the US) and the series The Prisoner as the Haitian supervisor in the episode “The Schizoid Man”.

Cameron is best know for his multiple rolls in Doctor Who such as Doctor Who – The Tenth Planet as the first Black Actor to portray an astronaut on any film or television show at the time.

A side note…. The Space Suit used in this scene was later used in Star Wars “Empire Strikes Back”

From all of us here at The Legend of The Traveling Tardis; we send our deepest sympathies to his family and friends. We hope that he is hanging out with Will Hartnell in Heaven talking about their days on set and all the barriers he broke for future actors of color in the world of acting.

The Doctor’s Great Covid-19 Escape

Hello listeners of The Legend of Traveling Tardis, it seems that the Doctor maybe one step ahead of this pandemic called Covid-19; well at least when it comes to their production time run.

What seems like a story out of the world of Doctor Who productions, Covid -19 could have caused more harm if it was not for the “foresight” on the series’s production scheduled.

This “key planning foresight” and “timing” had some of episodes filmed ahead of the season thirteen’s production run.  An example of this “foresight” is the upcoming Christmas special “Revolution of the Daleks”, which was shot one year before in 2019, and will air this fall/Christmas; despite worries of the shutdown. For the rest of the series production run, not to worry; production was already scheduled for late fall right before this pandemic had even started. Until further information is known about how Covid-19; and will extend the production halt, productions might start back up in 2021 if this lock-down remains in effect. Affected by the further shutdown happening would be Visual Effects and re-shoots of the series future episodes. Also effected due to the Covid -19 lock-down is traveling abroad for location shoots and continuity re-shoots.

What does that mean for the months in between?  Well, just like the Doctor to have a plan in place for all of you. Due to this lock-down there will be more watch parties and special events on social media and other venues to keep the fan up to date on all that is Doctor Who. Now what fan would not want that?

From all of us here at The Legend of The Traveling Tardis we will keep you updated on changes and news dealing with the effects of Covid-19 and how the Doctor will get out of this “Wibbley Wobbley Timmey Winney” real life story.
