He said:
"Buddha's voice was dubbed by my grandmother, Cecile Chevereau. She also dubbed a small part of an 'inn keeper'. Which episode I couldnt tell you as it was a long time ago.
She was born 1915, and died 1992. She had a long and varied career as an actress, predominantly in radio but later in film and t.v. She worked regularly on shows like "Dick Barton Special Agent" and was the only woman to have ever acted on the "Goon show". She acted regularly in the Hammer House studio films including the Sci-Fi thriller "Spaceways" recently re-released on DVD. She counted Orson Welles and Louis McNeice amongst her close friends and was altogether a remarkable woman."
