Doctor Who star Stewart Bevan has died at the age of 73.
The actor was best known for playing Professor Clifford Jones alongside Jon Pertwee's Third Doctor in 1973, before appearing in Emmerdale and films like Brannigan, The Ghoul and House of Mortal Sin.
His Doctor Who co-star and ex-partner Katy Manning paid tribute to Bevan this afternoon, describing him as "the most beautiful man, poet, actor, screenwriter, husband and father".
"He was the love in my life for many years on and off screen and our wonderful friendship continued to the end," she added.
The actor is survived by his two daughters, Coral and Wendy Bevan.
Bevan appeared in six episodes of Doctor Who's 10th season as Professor Clifford Jones, a Welsh biologist who helps the Doctor (Pertwee) defeat Global Chemicals, an oil plant run by a megalomaniacal supercomputer.
He starred in the span of episodes alongside Manning, who played The Doctor's companion Jo Grant, and Nicholas Courtney, who played Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart.
The episodes marked the Third Doctor's last adventures with Jo, who fell in love with Clifford and married him at the end of the serial.
Manning and Bevan were also a couple in real-life at the time, having been engaged during the filming of Bevan's Doctor Who episodes, however the couple separated a year after the show was recorded.
