10 Doctor Who Voice Talents You've Never Even Noticed
10. Brian Cox (Ood Elder)
No, not that Brian Cox - the other one. You may have seen him playing Sydney Newman in the 50th anniversary docudrama An Adventure In Time and Space but he's better known for his work with the Royal Shakespeare Company. Impressively, he was the first actor to portray Hannibal Lecter on film back in 1986. In Doctor Who he voiced the the Ood Elder in the Tenth Doctor's final story The End of Time. Clearly the brains of the outfit, the Ood Elder informs the outgoing Time Lord of the mysterious dreams he and his people have been having involving visions of the Master and the oncoming darkness. It all escalated very quickly after that. The other Brian Cox, the sciency-wciency one, did eventually show up in Doctor Who, though. He made a cameo appeared during Series 7's The Power of Three which means Doctor Who has now welcomed both Brian Coxes into its vicinity. There's a terrible pun in there somewhere.
Joel Cornah, is an author hailing from a small isolated village in Lancashire.
Having told stories of dinosaurs, penguins and dragons to his younger siblings for nigh on two decades, it soon became apparent that these tales needed to be written down. Gathering the myriad of maps, family trees, illustrations and noted ideas, he began work on the world of dyngard. Having grown along with the audience from a collection of loosely related children’s stories, it became a whole world of adventure, magic and questions.
He was awarded a degree in Creative Writing from Liverpool John Moors University and spent seven years writing a comical newspaper for The Barrow Downs Tolkien discussion forum.
Currently running a charity café in Parbold village, Joel is often found deep in discussion of the works of J.R.R. Tolkien, the long history of Doctor Who, and desperately trying not to frighten people away. Often with limited success.
