Newbery's plans, however, were too costly for Donald Baverstock, who sent a memo to Donald Wilson in complaint.
 * 1963 - Director Christopher Barry received the first attempts at the Dalek voices from J. N. Shearme. Two different approaches arrived through Barry's letterbox: one using computer synthesis and the other using a vocoder. Barry indicated he was particularly interested in the vocoder approach, but no final decision was taken on this day.
