THE HAT SQUAD: PETER HAWKINS

Actor Peter Hawkins passed away in the United Kingdom on July 8th at the age of 82.

Hawkins was far better known for his voice than for his appearance, as he gave voice to the first of the Daleks as well as to the first Cybermen in 'Doctor Who'.

He was one of the original Daleks in "The Daleks", the story which introduced them. He returned as a Dalek's voice in:

"The Dalek Invasion of Earth"
"The Space Museum"
"The Chase"
"Mission to the Unknown"
"The Daleks' Master Plan"
"The Power of the Daleks"
and
"The Evil of the Daleks".

But in addition to those pepperpots, Hawkins also voiced one of the original Cybermen in "The Tenth Planet", as well as in:

"The Moonbase"
"The Tomb of the Cybermen"
and
"The Wheel in Space".

Science fiction shows weren't the only beneficiaries of his vocal talents. Peter Hawkins provided the voices for 'The Flowerpot Men' Bill and Ben as well as for Captain Pugwash. Among the other children shows he worked on were 'Rainbow' and 'SuperTed'.

But he also made his physical presence known in Toobworld with apperances on such shows as 'Dave Allen At Large', 'Father Brown', and 'Jim Henson's The Storyteller'.

Over in the radio universe, Hawkins provided voices for the original version of 'The Hitch-Hiker's Guide To The Galaxy'.
