Roy Skelton 20th July 1931-8th June 2011

Post by tony ingram »

Roy Skelton, the voice of the Daleks and Cybermen in many of the classic Doctor Who serials (and one of the few people to have worked with all seven original series Doctors) as well as of Zippy and George in childrens series Rainbow, has died aged 79 following a stroke. RIP, Roy.

I did meet Roy some years ago when he came to Wolverhampton to adress the local Dr Who fan! amongst other anecdotes He told us the voice of the `Kroton` creatures (In "The Krotons") was his attempt to sound like a Boer Sergeant!! Amazing!
A Face unclouded by thought.
