My Take
Hines fascinates me as a piece of living screen history. A child actor who shared a frame with Charlie Chaplin, then went on to play Jamie McCrimmon in more Doctor Who episodes than any other companion, he embodies the kind of durable, beloved career that awards rarely capture. Longevity in a fandom that intense is its own achievement; it means audiences trusted him for years. I have a soft spot for actors who are remembered for a single cherished role rather than a trophy shelf, and Hines is a fine example.
