It's good to talk like a Time Lord

Having already nabbed every other voice-over ever, Tom Baker has now landed the gig to be the voice of BT's texting service. You type a text message into your mobile and send it to a landline, Tom belts it out with his trademark gravitas when they pick up the phone.

For some reason this reminds me of the time that fans of The King sent Elvis stamps to non-existent addresses, so the letters would come back "Return to Sender". Will Doctor Who fans use their hero’s new voice outlet to re-enact classic bouts of dialogue? Will it be possible to record a whole new Doctor Who script based on the 1974-1980 Doctor at a fraction of the cost it takes to get Baker out of bed?

Still, at least you'll be able to scare the bejeesus out of Doctor Who's latest chav companion Billie Piper. Just text her and let Baker ask "Do you like scary movies?" Now where's my little black book.
