PROFESSOR EVANS
Played by DEREK FARR
German Character name: Evans
German Voice Artist: J Nottke
EVANS is the head of the Institute of Radio Astronomy in England, heading up the department hoping to one day make extra-terrestrial contact. His dreams come true when the Medusans arrive - but he soon finds himself having to look after the stroppy Fulvia and equally stroppy Adam. Professor Evans makes only one visit to Medusa - he is summoned by Octavia to try and cure the dying President in The End of Time.
 DEREK
FARR was born in London on 7th February 1912.
Farr's career is definitively that of the 'character
actor' - never the star but he'll appear in everything
for an episode or two. He was busy when the British
film industry still flourished in the 40s and 50s
- appearances include Q Planes
(1939), The Dam Busters
(1954) and Doctor at Large
(1957) among dozens of British B-pictures. Come
the 60s, TV was the place for the jobbing actor
and Farr played one-off roles in The
Saint (The Talented Husband), The
Avengers (Sir Lyle Peterson in Man-Eater
of Surrey Green and later the Nazi monk Trasker
in The New Avengers
The Eagle's Nest), Adam
Adamant Lives! (Conspiracy of Death),
Hunter's Walk, Ensor
in the Blake's 7 Season
One closer Orac and Bergerac.
Perhaps his most satisfying lead role was as retiring
schoolmaster Bill Nightingale in the 1975 Granada
series Nightingale's Boys.
His last work was in the 1984 TV series Winter
Sunlight. Farr died aged 74 in 1986.
