We lost the voice(s) of a generation yesterday with the passing of Roy Skelton who was not only the voice of the Daleks but also the voices of Zippy and George from Rainbow  a show which I grew up with (I even nicknamed my sisters after these puppets)so I'm a big fan , Zippy and George are the same age as me lol. I finally learnt today what Zippy is ..obviously George is a Hippo but wtf is Zippy? (my theory was he was a mutant frog or a child of a gimp)It turns out he's a "Unique " according to his voice, I'll go with that answer.
