Peter Tuddenham died

[tenaya]

Blake's 7 was my first fandom and inspired me to try my hand at writing. Orac, Zen and Slave were all very different characters with such distinctive voices. There's been a lot of loss lately in my life, and hearing this has saddened me.


"Actor and voice artiste Peter Tuddenham has died at the age of 88 after a short illness.

His vocal talents were used in Doctor Who for The Ark in Space, The Masque of Mandragora and Time and the Rani, but he will also be well-known to cult TV fans for providing the voices of Zen, Orac and Slave in Blake's 7, which was created by Terry Nation.

In addition, Tuddenham was in the Kaldor City audio spin-offs Occam's Razor and Death's Head, which were Doctor Who/Blake's 7 crossovers produced by Magic Bullet."

Bummer. I loved B7- watched it faithfully on PBS. And it was one of the first fandoms I ever bought zines for. I tried my hand at writing some odds and ends for them, but never finished anything. Still have a lot of the zines, though.
