    Default Peter Tuddenham's Death Reported. Confirmed.

    http://www.horizon.org.uk/news.php

    Voice of Mandragora, the Brain thingy in Mark of the Rani, and in the Ark in Space. More famous, of course, as Orac, Zen and Slave in B7.

    Oh no! Bummer

    Tuddenham was brill, he even came back to do the voice of Orac for the much unwatched Blakes Junction 7. He was wonderful at those computer voices.
    Pity. I have no understanding of the word. It is not registered in my vocabulary bank. EXTERMINATE!

    Icon of Blakes 7! He was superb as Orac, Zen and Slave (and who would know they were all voiced by the same chap without being told?). The man was brilliant at what he did.

    Oh how sad! He was so good as Zen and Orac and Slave and always seemed to be such a charming and lovely man.

    RIP. Confirmed.

    Definitely a shame- met him at a B7 mini-convention about 18 years ago and he kept the room thoroughly entertained. The impression I had was that as a voice artist primarily, he was by turns bemused and fascinated by the interest he suddenly started to get, but enjoyed the opportunity it gave him to tell a few funny stories.

    In Zen and Orac he really gave life to two of the most popular characters in Blakes Seven. I hated when they lost the Liberator.

    As I said to Phillip when he told me about tis yesterday, Orac's key has been removed for the last time.

    The lynchpin of B7 is gone, but never forgotten. RIP Peter!
    One Day, I shall come back, Yes, I shall come back,
    Until them, there must be no regrets, no tears, no anxieties, Just go forward in all your beliefs,
    and prove to me that I am not mistaken in mine!
