Trevor Baxter, who has died aged 84, was best known to Doctor Who fans for having played the genial pathologist George Litefoot in the 1977 serial The Talons of Weng-Chiang. Professor Litefoot contributes to some terrific scenes, notably in Part Two where the polite Victorian gentleman tries not to make tribeswoman Leela (Louise Jameson) uncomfortable at dinner, and so eschews both plate and cutlery in order to eat with his hands.
