Actor and voice artiste Peter Tuddenham has died at the age of 88 after a short illness.
His vocal talents were used in Doctor Who for The Ark in Space, The Masque of Mandragora and Time and the Rani, but he will also be well-known to cult TV fans for providing the voices of Zen, Orac and Slave in Blake's 7, which was created by Terry Nation.
In addition, Tuddenham was in the Kaldor City audio spin-offs Occam's Razor and Death's Head, which were Doctor Who/Blake's 7 crossovers produced by Magic Bullet.
(Thanks to David and Lesley McIntee.)

I only found out today as my friend's emails weren't coming through. Such a shame but I'm not going to lie - he was a bit of a prat. I met him at Deliverance, the 20th anniversary Blakes 7 convention in March 1998 (my very first and where I also met my Aussie friend Juanita) and he got very boring over the three days with his Zen, Orac and Slave voices in answer to questions. He was a nice enough man but a prat like David Jackson. My friend actually thought he'd be dead by the 25th anniversary so was only 5 years out.
