TV Deaths[]

  • Doctor Who: The Massacre of St Bartholomew's Eve (1966) [The First Doctor/Abbot of Amboise]: Playing a dual role, the 'Abbot' is assassinated (though I don't know by whom); the 'Doctor' survives, obviously. (I've never seen this serial, since it was wiped during the BBC's periodic house-cleaning and has yet to be recovered; as a result, the entire serial is considered to be lost).
  • Doctor Who: The Tenth Planet (1966) [First Doctor]: Collapses due to old age and exhaustion; his body then "regenerates" and transforms into Patrick Troughton. (Note: this is only the "death" of William's incarnation of the character, and not the of the character itself, though I'm listing it just in case). Part of this scene was later recreated in the new series with David Bradley playing the Doctor.
