I'm afraid that the voice of the Daleks and Zippy is no more; Roy Skelton was 79...
Lord, the original DW cast are really dying out now.
RIP Roy Skelton.

'Secondly, I don't see why "income inequality" is a bad thing. Poverty is not an injustice. There is no such thing as causes for poverty, only causes for wealth. Poverty is not a wrong, but taking money from those who have it to equalize incomes is basically theft, which is wrong.' - Typical Randroid

Re: RIP Roy Skelton.
One of the scariest voices in sci-fi history, gone. That sucks. Rest in peace, Mr. Skelton, you earned it and you will be missed.

Awww, nuts. Another veteran of clasic who is gone. And he was a good one too.
I was watching the etra bits on my "Genesis fo the Daleks" DVD, and it had a "How to talk like a Dalek" bit with Mr. Skelton. The scary thing was he could do the voices without any equipment. Awesome, yet slightly troubling...
Anyway, rest in peace Mr Skelton.
