Cy Town (1931 - 2024)


It has been reported that the actor Cy Town has passed away. Not a familiar name to most people, but we Doctor Who fans know him as one of the principal Daleks operators, appearing in all of their stories from Frontier in Space in 1973 to Remembrance of the Daleks in 1988.
As well as this, he featured as a prominent extra in a number of other stories, beginning with the role of a reporter in Spearhead From Space. For instance, he was the hapless man smothered by fondant at the Forum auditions in The Happiness Patrol. Other monster roles included a Vogan in Revenge of the Cybermen and a Haemovore in The Curse of Fenric.
RIP.
