Biography [ edit ]
Dobtcheff was born in Nîmes , France, of Russian descent.[1] He attended Ascham Preparatory School in Eastbourne , Sussex, England, in the 1940s, where he won the Acting Cup. In 1967 he was in The Avengers episode entitled The Living Dead .
Among his many other television roles was as the Chief Scientist in the Doctor Who series The War Games in 1969, in which he became the first actor ever to mention the Time Lords by name. He appeared in the Blake's 7 episode "Shadow" as the Chairman of the Terra Nostra in 1979.

In his 2006 memoir, Red Carpets and Other Banana Skins , British actor Rupert Everett describes an encounter with Dobtcheff on the boat train to Paris, and reveals his extraordinary reputation as the "patron saint" of the acting profession, stating that Dobtcheff "was legendary not so much for his acting as for his magical ability to catch every first night in the country".[2]
