  Creature in Doctor Who, 1971-1980

Stuart Fell was born in Morecambe, Lancashire in l942. He was a war baby – his father serving in the RAF. His childhood was spent in various bases around Europe.

After spending time in the Army and becoming a physical training instructor, Stuart left to pursue a career as a stuntman and stunt arranger.
