John Challis
Scorby from Doctor Who
John Challis knew he wanted to be an actor from the moment he saw Peter Pan live on stage, aged eight. By the time he was nineteen, he was on the road with a troupe of travelling actors, taking plays to schools all over the country. His father wasn't impressed, but John was determined to follow his instincts, never losing his interest in sport, Rock'n'Roll or frankly, the opposite sex. His career and colourful private life seemed permanently poised between crises and highs, until by 1984, in his forties and with two marriages behind him, he emerged as a leading character in Britain's most successful ever TV comedy series, Only Fools & Horses.
Although known to most as Terrance Aubrey "Boycie" Boyce, John Challis is also known to Doctor Who fans around the world as the ruthless mercenary Scorby who famously took the Fourth Doctor and Sarah Jane Smith prisoner when they arrived at Chase Mansion in England.
Please note that John Challis is appearing at Scifi Wales subject to family and work commitments.
