Go and listen to his Doctor Who podcast if you're into that, the Indefinable Magic episodes are just a joy
That Ian McKellan clip, I saw that same monologue (I think) done almost exactly a year ago by @tobyhadoke.bsky.social at the apex of the XS Malarkey comedy night he was hosting on a day when everyone was very worried about Ice, who had crossed some horrifying threshold I can't now recall.

I did a radio show with Sue back in about 1991 on a shortlived student radio station in Manchester, so it's sad to see this.
There's a GFM set up for her funeral expenses here:

Iβm late here and wonβt disagree with those suggestions already made: you also have David Banks next to Colin Baker (top left).
