The news was announced by Leeson's son, Guy Ducker, who posted on Facebook on Sunday 1 November: "I regret to announce the death of my father, John Ducker, a.k.a. John Leeson, at 3:03pm today after a summer of illness. The end was peaceful."
He appeared in series such as Crossroads, Dad's Army and Rainbow, before being introduced as the voice of K9 in Doctor Who in the 1977 serial The Invisible Enemy, opposite Tom Baker's Fourth Doctor.
He also has roles in shows including Blake's 7, Beadle's About, 'Allo 'Allo! and ChuckleVision, and recently played John Watson opposite Baker in a series of Sherlock Holmes audio dramas, titled Sir Sherlock.
"And really, what a performance, what a character: a posh dog, uppity, haughty, wry, but somehow innocent too, and so funny. 'Maximum defence mode!' God he was good. Pitched perfectly so that kids could impersonate him. That’s not easy, that’s hell of a piece of acting. And he was wonderfully dedicated to that character for… gasp, six decades!
"He’d phone me up and chat sometimes - on the landline, I remember, those were the days. Including one time when he hadn’t been paid! But he was so gracious about it. A true gent, and a great loss. Sympathy to his family and friends. Good night, sir. Affirmative!"
