How sad. His most famous design are going to feature large this year. A shame he didn't get to see the tributes broadcast.
I've enjoyed his contributions to DVD extras. His commitment to getting the very best out of a limited budget was palpable. The success of the show is in no small part down to Ray Cusick. |

That's so sad! R.I.P. Ray.
We've had a few people from the world's of Doctor Who die this year. Bernard Horsefall in January, plus Richard Briers and Elspet Gray last week. Rest in peace all of you. I read on DS sometime last year of someone who wanted to know who created the Daleks. Someone else posted that it was Davros, then someone else said, ''No, it was actually Ray Cusick, cos he designed them. Davros created them in the show, but Ray designed them for the show back in early 1963.'' |

That's so sad, and just months before the 50th anniversary of a show that owes so much of it's success to his designs - not just the Daleks but all sorts of stuff in the early days. They are as iconic as the TARDIS, and a crucial part of Doctor Who.
Davros, pah... Ray was the the real creator of the Daleks. And it's a testament to his brilliance that the design of the Daleks has barely altered since 1963 - and when they did try to 'update' the designs recently virtually no-one thought they were any good, which just proves how good the originals were. Sleep well Ray, |

R.I.P. but what a legacy he leaves behind. Iconic design that is universally recognised and even after all these years still stirring the emotions.

Terrible news in the 50th Anniversary year. He should have been there on 23rd November.
Thank you Ray. Without you, Doctor Who may not have lasted as long as it did. |

Seemingly nice guy Cusick and too bad that he didn't get more royalties for his brilliant design - just the way life goes. RIP |

Only the TARDIS itself could rivial them in such a manner. RIP Ray Cusick, your creations will always be around, exterminating all life simply because they're evil little buggers in tanks. |

So sad that he won't be around for the 50th anniversary not only of the good Doctor but also of his iconic design.

Oh that's sad.
Shame he didn't make it to the anniversary, to receive the richly deserved kudos that would undoubtedly have come his way for his iconic design. |

RIP thanks for the scares.
Must be wonderful to know that one of your designs has lasted 50 years and become iconic. |

RIP Ray.
The timings so sad but I'm sure An Adventure in Space and Time will be a fitting tribute to your work. |

I will do a little looking around for pertinent obituaries - if you are saying that that was the ';recognition'? |

The guardian has a nice obituary which throws up a lot of what ifs. But I think as fans we did very well.
