Peter Pratt

Peter Pratt (21 March 1923 – 11 January 1995) was an English actor and singer who is best remembered for his comic roles in the Gilbert and Sullivan comic operas.

Pratt started his career in the chorus of the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company in 1945, moving up to small roles and then understudying Martyn Green, the principal comedian. From 1951 to 1959, he was the company's principal comedian, earning critical praise in the famous "patter" roles. After leaving the company, he moved on to a career in theatre, television, concert and radio, although he continued to perform the Gilbert and Sullivan roles throughout his career. One of his best-known television roles was the second Master in the BBC science fiction television series Doctor Who.

Biography

Pratt was born and grew up in Eastbourne, England, where he began to study singing as a child and was a soloist in his church choir. He was also involved in amateur theatrical societies.

D'Oyly Carte years

Peter Pratt joined the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company in the chorus in September 1945, at the age of 22. He began to play small roles with the company in 1947, including Go-To in The Mikado. In the 1948–49 season, he became second understudy to Martyn Green and continued to play several of the smaller roles, including Bouncer in Cox and Box, Bill Bobstay in H.M.S. Pinafore and Major Murgatroyd in Patience. He got his big break when he was called upon to play Robin Oakapple in Ruddigore on short notice in May 1949 (and several of the other "patter" roles that summer), when both Green and the principal understudy fell ill. He was soon given the primary understudy responsibilities, filling in for most of the comic "patter" roles, as well as playing several of the other smaller roles from time to time.

Woke Up Sticky

Noddin' Out, white light
Shadowy figures approach with the night
Strange hands carry me away
I resist in a catatonic way
You were sweet, no doubt
I fell asleep, you melted in my mouth
No point tryin' to hide the stain
I woke up, went back to sleep again
Woke up sticky
Must have been dreamin' of you
Woke up sticky
Don't know where I've been or who I've been through
They went and put the light on me
They examined every part of me
They put the light on me
They examined every part of me
More speed, less haste
I repeat myself 'til I'm blue in the face
I came down in a meteoric shower
The speed of sound turns decades into hours
Out of place, out of time
I return interior re-designed
They got me up against the wall
Maybe it's best not to wake up at all
Woke up sticky
Must have been dreamin' of you
Woke up sticky
Don't know where I've been or who I've been through
They went and put the light on me
They examined every part of me
They put the light on me
