Tom Smothers is on the main list and the alternate list.
Oh duh. I was so hoping I could do this just once without either putting someone on who’s already dead or something. A new mistake! Yay!
I’ll go hunt up another Tom. Thanks for catching.
I’m not a Whovian, but I was going to riff off Annie-Xmas’s idea and have a list of the people who have played the Doctor. But too many of them are already dead - William Hartnell (the First Doctor) died 43 years ago! Tom Baker (the Fourth Doctor) appears to be the oldest still surviving, so I’d be three short (without going into films, radio, or theatre - which expands the field far too much).
What about traveling partners?
OK, hopefully this list is correct. The only change is to the second alternate. Thanks.
