Voice

I’ve just received a spoken text on our landline. It is most disconcerting to be told by Tom Baker “I love you Kiss Kiss.”

I do adore his intonation of Wimbledon though.

    There’s something not right with calling it a “spoken text”, but I don’t know what it is.

    Text your landline and get him to say:

    “I tickle myself with a feather duster, and shine my balls to a gleaming lustre.”

    A friend sent that to the home landline the other day. It sounds flippin’ funny. Tom Baker is the voice of Britain.

    “You have a woman’s feather duster milord!”

    I didn’t know that could be done. Can anyone do it or do you need to have a special BT account?

    No I think anyone can use it Gamba, BT just charge more than a standard text I think.

    You just send a text to a BT landline and The Doctor voices it for you. And it’s astonishing how many rude words he’s read into the databank.
