Christopher Barry directed several Doctor Who serials, beginning with several episodes of the very first Dalek story. His other television credits included Compact, Smuggler's Bay, Paul Temple, Z-Cars, Poldark, The Onedin Line, All Creatures Great and Small, Juliet Bravo, Dramarama and other science fiction series, including Out of the Unknown, Moonbase 3 and The Tripods.
He was one of only three people to direct Doctor Who serials featuring William Hartnell, Patrick Troughton, Jon Pertwee and Tom Baker; the other two were Douglas Camfield and Lennie Mayne.
He played the First ''Morbius'' Doctor in TV: The Brain of Morbius meaning he played the earliest known incarnation of the Doctor, predating 'the original' by several incarnations.
Barry spent his retirement living in Oxfordshire and died on 7 February 2014 following an escalator fall at a shopping centre in Banbury.[1]
