Pat Gorman – extra, supporting artiste and bit-part player – was the Doctor Who equivalent of the title character in Where’s Wally? There’s fun to be had, spotting his distinctive face in the crowd. Sometimes that face was hidden behind latex. The first Silurian? That’s him. Need a Sea Devil? Pat’s your man. And who’s under the fur in that Primord photoshoot? Have a guess.
