Things to Come - News

It is our sad duty to report the passing of accomplished voice-actor Roy Skelton, who died of a stroke early today at the age of 79.

Mr Skelton is well known to genre fans the world over as not only the voice of DR WHO villains ‘The Daleks’ & ‘Cybermen’, but also both Zippy and George from the classic UK children’s television programme Rainbow.

Our thoughts go out to his family and friends.
