Laurie Webb (born 6 May 1924) is a Welsh retired actor known for his roles in TV series such as Doctor Who, Paul Temple and Doomwatch. He is the oldest living Doctor Who cast member since Arnold Yarrow's death in December 2024, and the eighth to become a centenarian after Yarrow, Zohra Sehgal, Olaf Pooley, Earl Cameron, Peggy Batchelor, Eileen Winterton and Lewis Alexander. He is also the sixth oldest Doctor Who cast member ever[1] and one of two living centenarians associated with the franchise (the other being Donald Pelmear).
Webb, an avid golfer, celebrated his centenary by playing nine holes of golf at Pyrford Lakes Golf Club as a fundraiser for Alzheimer's Society.[2]
