Raymond CusickDesigner. Sometimes known as Ray Cusick or Raymond P. Cusick. Most famous for designing the Daleks for BBC Television's Doctor Who. Also BBC staff designer responsible for set design on a large number of Doctor Who stories, designing not just futuristic settings but also historical sets and diorama. Cusick worked on a large variety of television programmes for the BBC including comedy, variety, drama, single plays, and films. As Cusick was a BBC employee at the time he designed the Daleks, he was paid a salary and not on a royalty basis. Given the large amount of revenue generated by merchandise featuring Cusick's Dalek design, some think that he should have been paid a royalty (as was script writer Terry Nation, who created the Daleks as a fictional entity but not their design or appearance), but this was not in the terms of his contract. The BBC did however recognise his contribution with an ex-gratia payment and Cusick himself never asks for more money; just to be recognised as the designer.
