Doctor Who, Peppa Pig and Thunderbirds voice actor dies: 'His talent brought joy to generations'

David Graham has died at the age of 99, and was best known as the voice of Grandpa Pig on Peppa Pig, the Daleks on Doctor Who and Parker in Thunderbirds

Reflecting on his Dalek role in a chat with the Mirror back in 2015, he revealed: "I created it with Peter Hawkins, another voice actor."
