From BBC News:

Actor and singer Roy Skelton, best known for voicing puppets George and Zippy in the popular children's programme Rainbow, has died aged 79.

His daughter Samantha Skelton told the BBC that her father passed away after suffering a stroke.

The actor joined Rainbow in the early 1970s and remained with the show until it ended in 1992.

He also voiced the Daleks in Doctor Who from 1967 to 1988, as well as the Cybermen and the Krotons
