Doctor Who voice actor Ysanne Churchman has passed away at the age of 99. She voiced the alien Alpha Centauri in the third Doctor stories the Curse of Peladon and The Monster of Peladon. The character would later return in the twelfth Doctor story Empress of Mars.

With its bizarre appearance and high pitched voice Alpha Centauri became a fan favourite and featured as one of the Weetabix character cards. This was all down to Ysanne’s distinctive voice which cemented her place in our hearts. Big Finish would bring the character in their audio plays including the ninth Doctor. Ysanne is best known as Grace in The Archer’s and leaves behind a great legacy. Rest in peace because you will never be forgotten.

I am a resident of Northern Ireland and have been a life long science fiction and horror fan. My desire to write for his favourite show Doctor Who at the age of fifteen led to the birth of the Time warriors series. I am the creator of the Time Warriors and Zombie Blues books. I am a regular attendee at conventions and infamously fell and broke his shoulder at his first Walker Stalker convention in London but still managed to keep my photo ops with both Chandler Riggs and Danai Gurira. I am a keen photographer and also have a secret desire to be the first Irish Doctor Who. Russell T Davies I have stories galore for the show!
