I was struck especially by the resonances of Spock's death scene in New Who. RTD has done a couple of scenes which feel to me now as if they are conscious references to it - the Ten/Jack conversation in Utopia (though of course Jack isn't actually dying, which is partly the point) and Ten's own self-sacrifice in The End of Time II. Am I imagining this? Are there other famous examples of protagonists being killed by radiation poisoning on the other side of a transparent screen which I have missed?
