It was a day that classic Doctor Who fans would certainly hate.
We said goodbye to the man who starred as Captain Mike Yates.
His death was even more sad because he died on Christmas Day.
Millions of his fans have missed him ever since he passed away.
People loved his performances and Richard Franklin was his name.
Now that he\'s deceased, fans of Doctor Who will never be the same.
He starred in one episode of \"Harry\" and nine episodes of \"Crossroads\".
When he starred in \"Emmerdale Farm\", he starred in over thirty episodes.
He was a British actor with talent and that\'s something people can\'t deny.
It was sad and heartbreaking when his fans were forced to say goodbye.
