Peter Tuddenham, Blake’s 7 actor, dies

Peter TuddenhamActor Peter Tuddenham, perhaps not been a familiar face to fans of British SF, but certainly a familiar voice, dies at the age of 88. After playing voice-over-only characters in a few episodes of Doctor Who, he became a series regular on the cult favorite series Blake’s 7, providing the voice of the Liberator’s on-board computer Zen and later the feisty supercomputer Orac throughout the series. (When the Liberator was destroyed at the end of the show’s third season, he voiced its replacement, the obsequious Slave, aboard the crew’s new ship.) He did play numerous characters in person in guest appearances on many shows, and also served as a dialect coach for other actors throughout much of his career.

This remains the final Babylon 5 project for over a decade. Read more (more…)

Even Time Lords need a break

Doctor WhoHoping to stem endless press speculation, the BBC announces that Doctor Who will be taking a rest for much of 2009, with four specials keeping the series on the schedule rather than a full season. Fueling much of the speculation is the Royal Shakespeare Company’s announcement that David Tennant has been cast in an extended engagement as Hamlet, a production which will be mounted throughout 2009. The BBC reassures fans that Tennant will continue in the role, and that a full season will be seen again in 2010.
