William Russell Enoch left us
on June 3, 2024. For 78 episodes, he portrayed the character of Ian
Chesterton, a science teacher whisked away with fellow teacher
Barbara Wright by the Doctor and his granddaughter Susan in their
time machine, the TARDIS. He was the template for what a male
companion to the Doctor should be. With his passing, John and Jim
pause their viewing of Doctor Who to discuss the character and the
actor. For Jim, who started his journey in the TARDIS from the
beginning, Ian was his first companion. Join us as we offer this
brief retrospective on the career of William
Russell.
