Also perfectly reasonable! There are definitely many people it's better to know are in the world than that they aren't, and most worth a salute when they go, anyway. (I am in denial forever that Alfred Burke is dead, and he was 92 when he went, too.)
And, heh, William Hartnell! Well, he would steal the show, wouldn't he? I really must watch This Sporting Life someday, as that's the role that made Verity Lambert decide he had to be her Doctor Who, and I do tend to be resentfully captivated by all the New Wave stuff anyway. (Something else I learned at 17 - I did a Media Studies course for A-Level!) He was such a mixture of things, but always someone who catches your eye on the screen, and his First Doctor so much more captivating in every way than any of his impersonators since.
(Meet Mr Lucifer has v interesting ideas, a great cast, and some good bits, but I first saw it at 17 and it is full of so many things I don't like about 50s films. It's taken a long time to forgive everybody in it, not just Peggy Cummins.)
