Geoffrey Palmer, OBE (4 June 1927-5 November 2020[1]) appeared in three Doctor Who television stories: as Edward Masters in Doctor Who and the Silurians, the Administrator in The Mutants and Captain Hardaker in Voyage of the Damned.
He was one of a handful of actors to appear both in the classic and the revived series.
Career
Palmer was known especially for his comic roles on British television in his over fifty-year career, which include (to name but a few): Jimmy Anderson in The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin (1976-79); Ben Parkinson in Butterflies (1978-1983); and Lionel Hardcastle in As Time Goes By (1992-2002, 2005).
One of his best remembered guest roles was in the sitcom Fawlty Towers (1975, 1979), where he played hotel guest Dr. Price in "The Kipper and the Corpse" — in which he had the classic line, spoken to Andrew Sachs as the inept Spanish waiter Manuel, "Look, I'm a doctor. I'm a doctor and I want my sausages!"
Personal life
He was the father of director Charles Palmer and the father-in-law of The Doctor, the Widow and the Wardrobe's Claire Skinner.
