David Graham RIP (1925-2024).
The actor and voice artist David Graham died at the age of 99 on 20th September 2024.
For our generation, he is principally known for being one of the first Dalek voices in ‘Doctor Who’ and even participating in the third ‘Timeslip’ serial. However, he is best known as the voice of Parker in ‘Thunderbirds’, although he also voiced Brains and Gordon Tracy, among others. Because no one liked his rendition, he reprised Parker in the animated ‘Thunderbirds Are Go’.
With him gone, the last of the original ‘Thunderbirds’ voice cast has also disappeared. The Crighton-Ward Mansion is going to feel a little more quiet.
