Roy Skelton RIP: Voice Of Zippy And Daleks Remebered

by | 10th, June 2011

RIP, Roy Skelton. You were the voice of Zippy on Rainbow. You were also voice of the Daleks on Dr Who. You said:

“I can walk down the street and no one knows who I am. People don’t say, ‘There’s Zippy’, or ask me to say, ‘Exterminate!’ I sometimes wish they did.”

And with that a bit of your childhood is gone…
