Geoffrey Toone, who played Temnossus in the film "Dr Who and the Daleks" and Hepesh in "The Curse of Peladon", passed away on June 1. He was 94. One of "the last surviving members of the glorious company venture of John Gielgud's 1934-35 season at the New Theatre," Toone was acting by the 1930's on stage, interrupted by wartime service, according to an obituary in yesterday's "The Independent". He worked in both Britain and America and his films included "The King and I," "Zero Hour" and "Once More With Feeling," as well as appearances in "Jeeves and Wooster" and "War and Remembrance".
