Philip Bond (1 November 1934[1]-17 January 2017[2]) played Ganatus in the Doctor Who television story The Daleks and later voiced Griffith (and by extension both Jack Harkness and Ceri when their consciousnesses were hosted in his body) in Big Finish's Torchwood audio drama Forgotten Lives.
His second DWU appearance came 51 years after The Daleks. He therefore joined Zienia Merton, Mark Eden, William Russell and Carole Ann Ford in being actors from the very-first series of Doctor Who to feature in a post-2005 era-related production (Merton appearing in The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith and Eden, Russell and Ford appearing in An Adventure in Space and Time).
Career[[edit] | [edit source]]
Bond's other credits include guest appearances on The Avengers, Doomwatch, Z-Cars, The Saint, No Hiding Place, Bergerac and Lovejoy. He was best known for playing Albert Frazer on The Onedin Line and Peter Findon on The Main Chance.
Personal life[[edit] | [edit source]]
He was the father of actress Samantha Bond, who played Mrs. Wormwood in The Sarah Jane Adventures (and was known for Miss Moneypenny in the Pierce Brosnan James Bond films) and the grandfather of fellow Big Finish actor Molly Hanson. Hanson misremembered her grandfather's on-screen fate by incorrectly recalling her grandfather as the first person ever exterminated by a Dalek, (BFX: The Home Guard) a distinction which actually goes to Alan Wheatley, who played Temmosus.
