No Question solution

Absent/present letters indicated possible locations of the TARDIS, associated with DOCTOR Who.  Redundant words in clues yielded the acronym TIME AND RELATIVE DIMENSIONS IN SPACE and the non-question WHO HAS BEEN ACTED BY HARTNELL TO SMITH.  (Since publication we can add CAPALDI and WHITTAKER, of course.)
