Congratulations to Bernard Cribbins, who played Doctor Who's Wilfred Mott from "Voyage of the Damned" to The End of Time. The acclaimed actor was named in the Queen's Birthday Honours last night and is now an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE).
BBC News reports:
Actor Bernard Cribbins has enjoyed a prolific career since the 1950s, in films including Carry On comedies and The Railway Children, and on TV in the likes of Fawlty Towers, Doctor Who, Jackanory and as narrator of The Wombles.
Appointed an OBE, the 82-year-old said he was "gobsmacked". "You can't go through life expecting to get prizes. You just get on with things, which is how it should be," he said.
As well as being featured prominently towards the end of David Tennant's tenure as the Doctor, Bernard Cribbins starred as Tom Campbell in the 1966 film Daleks - Invasion Earth 2150 AD, an early role among many over several decades in British film and television. It's no wonder he received the OBE for "Services to Drama".
