John Leeson, the English actor who voiced “Doctor Who‘s” beloved robot dog K9, died on Sunday. He was 83.
Leeson was best known for his voice work as the Doctor’s canine companion — who had the catchphrase “Affirmative, master” — on multiple seasons of British sci-fi series “Doctor Who,” spanning decades. He first voiced the character on the show from 1977-1981, when Tom Baker played the Doctor, and reprised the role in 1983 with Peter Davison in the lead; in 1993 for its 30th anniversary special; and in 2006 and 2008 during David Tennant’s reign.

Everyone at Big Finish is very sad to learn of the death of John Leeson earlier today. Our condolences go out to his family and friends. He will be sorely missed by us all.
A full tribute will be published later this week.
We mourn the passing of our friend, actor Michael Forest, who left us this week. Born Gerald Michael Charlebois, the man who played Apollo on Star Trek was 97. Michael indulged me by posing for this photo in 2022.
