From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Brian Cobby (born 12 October 1929), is a British actor who in 1985 became the first male voice of the British speaking clock.

It is widely reported that Cobby provided the uncredited voice-over countdown for the Thunderbirds title sequence.[1][2][3]

However, it is also claimed that the official Gerry Anderson fanclub and ITC Entertainment cite the countdown as the late Peter Dyneley's work.[citation needed]
