Only David as original cast still alive
David Graham is not just the voice of Parker, He IS Parker! "Yes M'lady"!
Thunderbirds bought my childhood to life. I love it all thank you
As David Graham has aged (or should that be 'as haged!), I've always thought he seems to look more and more like Parker!
Had no idea that David Graham was now 98! not many people deserve the word ‘legend’ but I don’t think it’s too much of a stretch to say that David Graham does 😊
Love this pub for many years and didn’t even know about the connection till Gerry told me about it in the early noughties….. sadly the plaque that was up as disappeared but like the Thunderbirds hotel in slough they should make a think about it
Had no idea that Parker had that background made for him.
Did you know...Barry Humphries was set to voice Parker, but was hung over and didn't turn up?
"Their 'elicopter his hextemely well harmed, milady!" I think from '30 Minutes After Noon'.
His 'bad lad made good' past and the accompanying skills it gave him, endeared him to the viewers.
So lovely. I speak "Parker" to my grandchildren, and it does make them laugh so much.
I'm 63 and still find all this fascinating. Thank you for posting it. :o)
"Vault Of Death" was the very first Thunderbirds episode I watched back in November 1991 when I was 5-years-old, and it is without question one of my favourites, all because Parker is the main-focused character. David Graham is a brilliant voice artist, who gave Parker that distinctive Cockney accent - and Jon Culshaw, who provides the new voice of Parker in the Thunderbirds audio series, does it exactly spot on! :)
Parker's semi Lisp-Stuffy-Nose toned voice can never be forgotten, by me, from when I first heard it in the 1960's. Even today at age 70, it haunts my dreams sometimes. lol 👍👍 5⭐
Loved this show as a kid..
Thunderbirds was so well cast it was amazing. David must be one of the best ever "voice artists" in showbiz.
I was fortunate to have lived in the UK back between 1979 to 1984 -- my father was USAF, and stationed on a US-Run/Borrowed RAF base in Oxfordshire -- and during those years, I got to watch a lot of great series on British TV.
Unforgettable classic
What an awesome tale, I honestly didn't know about this till very recently when I watched a Scalextric interview with David Graham, and what a nice, humble gentleman he came across as.
