Walter Randall (26 June 1929 – 5 May 2006)[1][2] was a British dancer turned actor with numerous roles in British television, including parts in The Saint, Out of This World, Yes Minister, The Professionals and Dixon of Dock Green.[3] His film appearances included roles in The Hand (1960) and Tiffany Jones (1973).[4]
He appeared in the Doctor Who story The Aztecs in 1964, and was interviewed for the DVD release in 2002.[5] Five further appearances on the programme followed, the last of which was Planet of the Spiders in 1974.[3] In their positive review of The Crusade, the Radio Times wrote "Walter Randall's El Akir is the most sinister character in the series to date."[6]
In addition to acting, Randall ran a restaurant in Chelsea.[7] He later ran a wine bar and went into partnership with Jon Pertwee, running a hamburger diner called Pertwee's Take-Away for five years.[8]
