Former “Dr Who” Tom Baker, who recently found new fame as the narrator for hit British TV comedy show Little Britain, has lent his dulcet tones to a British phone company’s text messaging service.

Users who send text messages to and from landline phones can now have that message delivered in Mr Baker’s recognisable deep voice for the next three months.

And Mr Baker can say anything – he spent 11 days recording every single sound in the English language and 11,593 phrases.

He can even blow kisses (for messages which contain xx) and deliver rude words.

"What appeals to me most is the thought that I will be bringing good news to people whether it is a cheeky message, a birthday greeting or just a quick 'hello,'" Mr Baker said.

"Whatever it is, hopefully my voice will bring a smile to people's faces." He added.
