Favourite actors who appeared more than once?

Pamela Salem in Robots of Death and Remembrance of the Daleks. It's fair to say she got some bloody good material. Her voice is in Face of Evil as well. She's a fabulous actress and a beautiful woman to boot.

Oh god damn is Pamela Salem seriously sexy! It's her voice as well. She is a shinning example of why English women can be the sexiest.

I think that maybe the best recurring guest actor is Michael Wisher to be fair, as his performance in Genesis as Davros is possibly the best of any guest actor in the entire series.

I also like David Banks as the Cyber Leader, the guy who played the Ice Warriors different commanders in Seeds of Death, Curse and Monster of Peladon (Can't remember his name.) Kevin Lindsay was also exceptionally brilliant as Link and Styre. I'm not so keen on his character in Planet of the Spiders, but to be fair that whole story is shit.

Stephen Thorne also deserves credit for Azal and Omega. Everybody seems to hate his Omega these days though? I don't get it? I loved his performance, the bit where has a break down and the world shakes, whilst OTT is marvellous.

Kevin Stoney also deserves a shout out for Mavic Chen and Tobais Vaughn, two very memorable human villains who helped lay the template for other Quisling type bad guys in the series.

Also Bernard Horsefall played three very different types of characters, the comic relief in Mind Robber, dashing hero in Planet of the Daleks and the villain in Deadly Assassin, and he shone in all 3.

I'd love to include Paul Darrow Rushy, but I'm not sure you could say his performance in Timelash is good LOL, though it's certainly incredibly entertaining.

Never seen these pictures of her before! Wow...

You mean I still have a chance?

Michael Sheard.

Pat Gorman.

I think he was an extra in more than 40 stories from the Hartnell era to Attack of the Cybermen. I don't have sexy pictures of him like I do for Pamela Salem, though.

Zoë Wanamaker is great in My Family, but she was given the worst material in NuWho. Would have loved to see her play a character that wasn't a complete cliche.

I thought Robert Lindsay and Kris Marshall were the only half decent things about My Family myself. Still doesn't make up for it being one of the most banal shitcoms I've ever sat through.

The 2000s was probably the last consistently decent decade in terms of comedy albeit more schizophrenic in terms of quality. For every cracker you got like League Of Gentlemen, Phoenix Nights, Early Doors and Misfits. There was always absolute wank like Two Pints, Gavin and Stacey, My Family and Miranda. Whereas the 2010s/20s only has Inside No 9 going for it.

Yeah, I watched My Family a lot as a kid but it's not among the sitcom greats. Not Going Out with Lee Mack seems like one I'd probably find enjoyable. It started airing in 2006 and from what I've seen on the TV guide it is still going.
