(143KB) Hello. I am Tom Baker and I will be saying things to you by the magic of SMS.
Thanks to some genius at BT, ordinary people like you can make me say whatever they want, simply by sending a text message to a BT landline.
What follows is the result of some of those text messages. As you can imagine, people tend to want to hear me say naughty words. If you are easily offended, I suggest you leave now! Everyone else... Enjoy!
A message from Tom on his return to the land of text...

I have created a 'naughty words rating system' for people who may not wish to listen to Tom's more 'fruity' quotes... (This is mainly for my Mutha's benefit)
| Mild expletives |  |
For example, (12KB) |
| Moderate expletives |  |
For example, (11KB) |
| Full-blown severe, sexual expletives |  |
For example, (14KB) |
How it all beganIt all started when I (Mark Murphy) sent a Tom Baker message to a few friends. Quite a few messages were exchanged, mainly involving childish insults and swear words. Much mirth ensued. As the messages became more elaborate and the work I put into them grew, it became clear that I should create this website to share the witterings with the World.

Movie QuotesOne of the first things we came up with was getting Tom to say some classic (and not so classic, but rude) movie quotes.

Tom BakaraokeNo, not French for falling over whilst singing. This is in fact Tom singing to the hit songs of today (the word 'today' is used very loosly, as are 'hit' and 'singing')

| 09/01/2007 | Well I've not added much to the site yet, as I've been busy recording as many texts as possible before Text Aid finished. It seems I didn't need to send myself quite so many messages in such a short time, as BT have announced Tom is to continue as their text voice until the end of March - Woohoo! |
| 13/12/2006 | Nick Price, MD of bright purple resourcing, has given me and the Text Aid single a great plug in his blog. Bright purple are an IT recruitment agency based in Edinburgh. They're a great place to start if you're looking for an IT job anywhere in the UK, and indeed if you're a company looking for the perfect IT candidate! |
| 01/12/2006 | Tom Baker's text voice is back!! BT launched Text Aid today to raise at least £100 000 for Shelter. 2p from each text message sent to or from a BT landline between now and 8th January 2007 will go to the charity. Now for the really exciting news... I just got back from London, where I've been promoting the new Text Aid Bakaraoke single alongside Maggot and P Xain from Goldie Lookin Chain! BT commissioned me to produce the song, which is a Bakaraoke cover of The Kinks' song You Really Got Me. The track will be officially released on 18th December, but you can listen to a preview and pre-order it from bt.com/textaid now. It's only 79p and all BT's proceeds go straight to Shelter. Let's make Tom the Christmas number 1! |
| 10/11/2006 | It's been a while, but I've finally made an update! There's a remixed version of Buggles in the Tom Bakaraoke section... It sounds much nicer than the original one. |
