Very sad news indeed and a lovely post from Katy Manning.
For me who became a 'Doctor Who' fan entirely thanks to Season 8, Richard Franklin's dashing young officer was part of the team and the story from the very start.
The heroes of UNIT and Jo and the Doctor, facing down the worst the Universe had to throw at us, week after week. The UNIT Family was my 'Doctor Who' and it was 'Doctor Who'; I'd known no other. And although I enjoyed the great years that followed, those Pertwee and UNIT years, unusual as they were in hindsight, are still the real 'Doctor Who' in my book.
At ease, Captain Yates.

He was always a favourite of the Pertwee era. My young son are going through those years in our Classic Who watch.
I did have a longer post but on reflection it was not appropriate at this time.

Very sad news but Mike Yates will forever be with us when we rewatch classic Third Doctor.
Katy Mannings emotional post got me teary eyed.

Really sad to hear of Richard's passing
to think that Katy Manning and John Levene are the last of The UNIT Family left of The 3rd Doctor Era

Very sad news. I did see the news on Twitter when it was first posted. I did enjoy seeing him in Doctor Who.
