The famous hairdresser Vidal Sassoon
died this week. None of the mainstream press obituaries mention (and nobody else in this community seem to have remembered) that he made a major contribution to early Doctor Who in designing Carole Ann Ford's at-the-time very alien and avant-garde haircut as Susan.
When some people still think of 1963 Doctor Who as very traditional and old-fashioned, remember that in terms of hairstyling at least, it was way out on the cutting edge.
