Doctor Who Exterminates Radio Ad Producers!

Like many other popular celebrities of the 70’s and 80’s, our favourite Doctor Who, Tom Baker would take on lucrative voiceover work for TV and radio adverts.

I would imagine it is not actually that glamourous to be stuck in a recording booth for possibly a whole day going over and over the same script. No doubt last minute any alterations would increase the stress levels even more.

With somewhat of a reputation for details and perfection, and by his own admission, writers of Doctor Who would not turn up to script read throughs if Tom was going to be present, such was his disdain for some of the writing.

Here then is Tom Baker attempting a radio voiceover for a furniture company called Symphony – who I’m pretty sure didn’t hire him again!

Listen as he attempts to educate studio technicians, producers and others on pronunciation and grammar interspersed with a generous amount of creative insults.
