    At his current standing - 101 years old - he might as well be the oldest known living actor!

    He's doing very well.

    I've just got my handcuffs and my truncheon and that's enough.

    six years older than Patrick Troughton, Pooley has outlived him by nearly thirty years.

    Curious how life can be...

    A curious fact - the first person to have been in Doctor Who and died during its lifetime was the YOUNGER of the two girls in the cottage in "The Daleks Invasion of Earth" - she died before the story had even been transmitted.

    Jean Conroy (December 1934-14 November 1964) played one of the Women in the wood in the Doctor Who serial The Dalek Invasion of Earth. Her tragic, untimely death in a street accident occurred before transmission of the serial. She is the first person associated with the programme to pass away.

    It is with great sadness to report the death of Olaf Pooley aged 101:

    He had a long career and life. May he rest in peace.

    Within the last two weeks we've lost Doctor Who's two oldest living actors (the other being Edward Burnham). Now Earl Cameron is the oldest (98 on August 8). For Star Trek, Norman Lloyd is now the oldest.

    RIP Olaf.

    101! What a great age to reach!

    Rest in peace, Olaf - only one Doctor Who appearance, but what an appearance, and what a life to live.

    On another note:
    Jean Conroy (December 1934-14 November 1964) played one of the Women in the wood in the Doctor Who serial The Dalek Invasion of Earth. Her tragic, untimely death in a street accident occurred before transmission of the serial. She is the first person associated with the programme to pass away.
    What an incredible if very sad fact to uncover, Si.
