Tip Tipping

Tip (Timothy) Tipping (13 February 1958-5 February 1993) was stuntman/fight arranger on many of the later stories of the BBC's original run of Doctor Who, including Remembrance of the Daleks, The Curse of Fenric and Survival.

During work on Survival, he walked off the production because of the involvement of champion motorcyle racer/stunt rider Eddie Kidd, who was not a member of the actors' union, Equity. Paul Heasman subsequently took over as stunt arranger.

Tipping died tragically when a parachute jump he was performing as part of a reconstruction for the docudrama/real-life rescue series 999 (1992-2002) went wrong; his parachute failed to open and he fell to his death.
