INTERVIEW BY MARK WRIGHT
“I’m just a jobbing actor”, says John Leeson modestly. “K9 turned up and was the most surprising job I ever had in my life!” During two separate stints between 1977-79 and 1980-81, John Leeson gave voice to Doctor Who’s best-loved robot – the Fourth Doctor’s mobile computer, K9. “A crisp, self-righteous smartarse”, laughs John when describing a role he has been associated with for 40 years.
