RIP Roy Skelton
RIP: Roy Skelton, the voice actor who created the signature screech of the Daleks and voiced the Doctor Who villains for twenty years, has died in Brighton, UK at age 79. Skelton’s other work on Doctor Who (from 1967 to 1988) included voicing the Cybermen and the Krotons.
He was better known in the UK for voicing puppet characters Zippy and George on the popular kids’ show Rainbow, which was voted the best children’s TV program ever in 2006.
“Although he was known for Zippy and George he was actually a fabulous actor with a great singing voice and a wonderful raconteur – he used to tell us some wonderful stories,” Skelton’s Rainbow co-star Geoffrey Hayes told the BBC.
