Skelton, originally from Nottingham, earned his acting spurs in regional repertory theatres at the start of a long career which included roles in Zulu and Alfred Hitchcock's Frenzy. Legendary: Roy was also the terrifying voice of the Daleks Rainbow host Geoffrey Hayes said Skelton brought characters to 'life through his voice'. He told the BBC: 'The most wonderful thing was if Zippy and George were having an argument between themselves, it sounded like he'd double-tracked it as they seemed to be talking over each other. It was a wonderful technique and I don't know how he did it.'

Roy did however reveal that he had based the voice of Zippy on Ian Paisley and Lady Margaret Thatcher. Radio 1 DJ Chris Moyles tweeted that Skelton 'entertained me thousands of times as Zippy & George and scared me just as much as a Dalek. A proper hero of mine.' He leaves behind his wife and two daughters. Roy never let himself be drawn into the debate of what exactly his character Zippy was.
Cantakerous Zippy is a brownish-orange puppet with a huge rugby ball shaped oval head, big blue eyes and a zip for a mouth - which can be zipped shut to stop him talking. While Bungle is obviously a bear and George a pink hippo, Zippy bears no obvious resemblance to any real animal. However, Roy never alluded to which creature the puppet might represent. In 2007, Skelton was interviewed via telephone by Russell Brand on his Radio 2 show before he was sacked following Sachsgate.
Brand asked Skelton some questions whilst in the persona of Zippy, but the interview was brought promptly to a halt when Brand said: 'Zippy? Please help me. I am impotent.' Skelton, whilst holidaying in the south of France, immediately said -still using the voice of Zippy - that he had to go and promptly hung up the phone. Skelton also appeared voicing Zippy on Harry Hill's TV Burp in 2008, in sketches about EastEnders and a long running gag about cataracts. He was also a guest star voice on Peter Kay's Children In Need 2009 single.
