rdf:langString Richard Shaw (19 November 1920 – 11 April 2010) was an English actor remembered for appearing in the science fiction franchises Quatermass and Doctor Who, as well as having a regular role as henchman Ryan in the children's series Freewheelers. Shaw appeared in the 1959 TV serial of Quatermass and the Pit playing drill operator Sladden. He was asked to reprise the role in the 1967 film adaptation but was unable to do so due to other commitments. Duncan Lamont (from The Quatermass Experiment) was therefore cast instead. Shaw made three appearances in Doctor Who: The Space Museum, Frontier in Space and Underworld. Outside of work, it seems Richard might have believed in the existence of alien lizards and UFOs. Amongst the other television shows the actor appeared in were The Adventures of William Tell, No Hiding Place, International Detective, Ghost Squad, Z-Cars, Sir Francis Drake, Richard the Lionheart, Dixon of Dock Green, Steptoe and Son, Sykes and a..., The Saint, The Wednesday Play, Emergency Ward 10, King of the River, Crossroads, Softly, Softly, Please Sir!, Pathfinders, The Capone Investment, Softly, Softly: Task Force, Barlow at Large, The Hanged Man, ...And Mother Makes Five, The Onedin Line, The Famous Five, The Sandbaggers, Robin's Nest, George and Mildred, Coronation Street and Matlock.
