John Leeson (born John Francis Christopher Ducker; 16 March 1943,
Leicester) is a British actor who is well known for voicing Bungle in
Rainbow and K9 in Doctor Who.RADA trained, Leeson's varied stage and
television career spans nearly half a century. It includes work in
both repertory and West End productions including Neil Simon's Plaza
Suite (1969), Flint (1970) and Don't Start Without Me (1971) and
character work across a wide range of television sitcoms and costume
dramas from the 1970s onwards, including Dad's Army, Sorry, Rings on
Their Fingers, The Barretts of Wimpole Street, Vanity Fair, Shadow of
the Noose, Crown Court Longitude, etc. He also embarked on a parallel
career in voiceover work, freelancing as a continuity announcer with
BFBS Television in Germany, BBC Television, and Channel 4.Leeson was
brought on as the voice of K-9 for 1977's The Invisible Enemy and
producer Graham Williams liked the concept so much that the decision
was made to retain him as a regular character to appeal to the younger
members of the audience. Tom Baker detested the character of K-9, but
luckily got on very well with Leeson (when Leeson appeared on Tom
Baker's edition of This Is Your Life in 2000, Leeson entered on all
fours).
