More actions
Bill Fraser (5 June 1908-5 September 1987[1]) played General Grugger in the Doctor Who television story Meglos and Bill Pollock in the K9 and Company television story A Girl's Best Friend.
Director John Black described him as a character actor.[2]
He agreed to play Grugger only on the condition that he could kick K9, which he had never been too fond of — an action he would perform in part three. According to Tom Baker on The Tom Baker Years, Fraser pointed out quite firmly to the production team: "If I don't kick the dog, I don't do the show!"[3]
Personal Life
He was married to Pamela Cundell, who appeared in the documentary Music Hall.
