Deadline and BBC reported on Saturday that voice actor David Graham has died. He was 99.
Graham is perhaps best known as Daleks in Doctor Who and as the voice of Grandpa Pig in the Peppa Pig animated series.
He voiced Parker in the Thunderbirds series and films. He also voiced Gordon Tracy and Brains in the franchise. He was the only original cast member to return for the 2015 Thunderbirds Are Go! remake of the show.
The official X/Twitter account for the late Gerry Anderson, who was the creator of Thunderbirds, posted a statement on Graham's passing:
