Roy Skelton (20 July 1931-8 June 2011[1]) performed voice work for several Doctor Who television stories and appeared on-screen in five of them. He is particularly known for performing Dalek voices.
Outside of Doctor Who, Skelton is also known as the voice of the puppet characters Zippy and George on children's programme Rainbow and in a cameo on Ashes to Ashes. His predecessor in the role of Zippy was fellow Dalek voice actor Peter Hawkins.
