David Graham Dead: Voice Of ‘Peppa Pig’, ‘Doctor Who’ And ‘Thunderbirds Was 99


The actor, who was 99, was the voice of Grandpa Pig, the Daleks and Lady Penelope's butler Parker.

Previously, for nearly two decades he created the sound of the evil Daleks in the long-running sci-fi show Doctor Who – adopting a staccato style and then feeding his voice through a synthesiser. And previously, he lent his dulcet tones to Lady Penelope’s butler and chauffeur Parker, in Gerry Anderson’s Thunderbirds TV series and films. At the time of the new show, Graham told The Mirror newspaper he had been inspired for the voice of Parker by a lunch meeting with a waiter who had been a former royal butler.
