Let's make this birthday one to remember.

61 years old (Born on September 18, 1963)

Happy Birthday, Gary Russell! From charming audiences in front of the camera as a child actor—to spinning tales that whisked us off in the TARDIS—you’ve truly perfected the art of storytelling. It’s impressive how seamlessly you've gone from navigating Dalek invasions to flawlessly scripting them.

You've given Doctor Who fans countless fantastic adventures; your words shaping timeless episodes that manage to make us laugh, shudder, and hide behind our sofas all at once. Clearly, you have a secret sonic screwdriver hidden up your sleeve!

Here's to another year filled with creativity—keep reminding us how much fun time travel can really be!
