Heard Tom's voice for the wotif.com ad. Recognised his voice immediately.

If you go to the website you can also play and hear the advert.

Cool. Thanks!

Dear Madgoth -

Must be looking in the wrong place as this is all I could find about Tom and his ads for them (was written by Andrew Bartlett in his story for BCM, Andrew's agency):

As an added sweetener, you’d also enrol the singular voice of possibly the universe’s most well-travelled man: Tom Baker – the longest serving Doctor on the BBC’s legendary Doctor Who television series. (He of the curly mop and ludicrously long scarf). We chose him for the incredible power, timbre and presence of his voice, his talent for absurdity (you may also know him as the unhinged narrator of Little Britain) and because his accent transcends borders. Wotif is a major player in New Zealand and else where too.

My torn abdominals are still recovering after the most side-splitting sound recording session I’ve ever had the pleasure of running. The 76 year old thespian is a wonderful madman who proceeded to stretch the audio technology to its limits with his powerful performance (there’s a series of radio ads to come as well) and regale us with his tales of romancing the ladies across six decades. He also did the chivalrous thing and requested a date with one of the female clients in attendance, despite being 12,000 miles away in London. Good show!

Best,
Dirk

dear dirk -

let me see if i can direct you there directly without a direct LINK.

anyWHO ...

go to the wotif's main page. look for the about us box then a media release tab. from there go to the top listing, then go to the bottom of that listing. and you can probably find them from there. (two so far,)

love,

thanks pattie i will look for it also as i meant to some time ago but got side tracked so now i will have a look later

[pattie anne]

dear tracy -

welcome. always wishing to be of humble service to The TOM/doc fans, and to The Members of TOM, in any manner, or fashion i can be.

and am sure any future TOMmercial ads will also be Posted at the same URL too.

seemed like from my end (america) those ads took forever to download and run. but maybe i just hit them at a peak TIME.

oh yes, and one final comment, the jelly bed ad has a very long BLANK leader to it, so do not think it is not working for you on your computer. it only requires TIME to accomplish the download, so it can run it for you through your system.

love,
pattie anne

[tracy]

ok thanks pattie

[Who dat?]

The directions to the website should include to click on the about us tab and then look for the media releases tab. BTW, they have to be some of the slowest loading pages I've run across in quite some time.
No spoilers here and it's always nice to hear Toms voice.

dear who dat? -

ta, have ammended my Post to reflect your correction.

just wish these particular TOMmercials were longer. but in light of your other comment, if they were of any further duration, we would probably still be waiting for their dump to our hard drives.

love,
pattie anne
