Valentine Dyall (7 May 1908–24 June 1985) was a British actor, known for many years as "The Man in Black", narrator of the BBC Radio horror series Appointment With Fear.
Dyall also made guest appearances in several episodes of The Goon Show, parodying his familiar radio persona.
He later appeared in the radio version of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy playing Gargravarr (appropriately, a disembodied voice), and on the television and LP versions, where he played the voice of the computer Deep Thought.
He portrayed the Black Guardian in several Doctor Who serials, and also voiced a major role in the Doctor Who radio serial "Slipback." He also played Norl in the episode "City at the Edge of the World" in the series Blake's 7.
