That New Tardis Is Really A Space Saver

[filkertom]

My buddy Benji in Louisville notes that, for the next three months, British Telecom users can send text messages to and from landline phones that will be read by Tom Baker.

If you could have Tom Baker read a message for somebody, who would you send it to and what would you/he say?

My Message?

"Hello, this is DragonScholar. This message is being read by Tom Baker. YES, THAT TOM BAKER! ISN'T THIS AWESOME?"

Would you care for a jelly baby?

Yes, BT is going to make at least a small chunk of change with people sending text messages including "jelly baby," "k-9," and the like.

It would have to go to my father since he is a big Doctor Who fan. We both discovered the show at the same time. It's too bad you can't do this in the US.

As for what I'd have him say, I don't know. Probably something to the effect of "I'm sorry I couldn't make it back for your anniversary, but I'm off fighting the daleks again. K9 says hi."

Or maybe Narnia messages. If memory serves, Tom Baker was the only actor in the all the made-for-TV Narnia series that I could recognize, playing Puddleglum the Marsh-Wiggle in THE SILVER CHAIR.* So... maybe a depressing message, like We're All Going To Die?


* [Warwick Davis played Reepicheep but I didn't know that at the time. 'Twas before WILLOW and in everything else I'd seen of his, his face was not visible, like Wicket in Star Wars.]

Or "Reshpeckobiggle." ;-)

I'm going to go with my friend johnkeats. Anything at all could be said, as long as there were paramedics standing by to deal with the hyperventilation brought on by fan-ish glee.

Space, the final frontier... these are the voyages of the Starship Tardis... See, why must they hire foreigners with precious little talent? Shatner vs. Stewart? Is that really a contest? They should go with the British more often... Care for a Jelly Baby?

(Would that mesage cost extra?)

This is just too cool...Now I wish I lived in England. Of course, I've been wishing I lived in a different country for several years now.

I'm more amazed by what Baker had to go through to make this possible: he "spent 11 days recording every single sound in the English language and 11,593 phrases". Whurf. That said, I really have no idea what I'd like to hear him say.
