not if you have watched him in something other than Doctor Who

No

Thanks

It really conveys how amazing his performance as the Doctor is, when you realize the voice is a creative choice rather than his natural choice. Even the "Billy-flubs" were allegedly a creative decision that eventually became scripted because he did it so much. Given how articulate he is here, I'd certainly believe it.

He does. I think he sounds like David Bradley's portrayal of him in 'An Adventure in Space and Time', or rather vice versa. I have a new appreciation for Bradley's vocal performance now!

David Cole Except Bradley still sounded like that when playing The Doctor.

The film is really old so the pitch does alter definitely after the amount of time this has laid dormant

It's now available to listen for the full 35 minutes for anyone with a BBC account. I don't, as they've alienated me politically over the years, so, in the intervening eight years since this uploading, maybe it was one of the very many Desert Island Discs that were recently found; perhaps someone could say ? It says on Wikipaedia he was born in Acton, London, not Devon. The BBC give the date of this broadcast as the 23rd. August, '65.

I’m afraid there isn’t.

@@farfromallover pity. It just sounds like a really low quality mp3, like someone went mental with denoising.

@@farfromallover So who has this tape? You mention it's the only part the BBC has, were they given this exact crappy transfer? It's a tape, so it should be way better than this and I find it hard to beleive this is from the BBC as it is. But then again, if the BBC had it they'd have released it surely.

this aged well

@@404TVfr yes it did 😂

+blake janssen Yeah, I caught that as well. Some weird set lighting....

That makes sense.

+Craftman Seven Eighty (Craftman780) The BBC had two tapes for each episode. The first copy would be the recording studio's. They'd wipe their tapes soon after completion/televising because they can't afford new tapes. The second copy was in the BBC archives for use in shows like Blue Peter, who frequently use archived footage in their shows. These copies were largely wiped (again; tapes were expensive), though a few copies survived. They weren't rescued by Doctor Who fans, however since they picked tapes at random (hence why Hartnell's departure is lost). Most of the Lost Tapes people find are third copies which were made for international distribution, so they'd be in places like Australia's TV archives (this is why Nigeria was found to have tapes of 'Enemy of the World' a few years ago). Sometimes there's also a FOURTH set of tapes - those are instances where fans tested out their cameras by pointing at their television sets. Some also tested their audio cassette recorders in this manner, hence why all classic episodes (bar the Christmas Special) have recovered audio.

+Resident Evil Wiki The Christmas special you referred to (The Feast of Steven) does exist on audio.

LesterLeapsIn1 I wasn't aware of this. Good call(!)

The sales overseas had stopped, repeats were almost unheard of, storing the tapes cost money, and they were reusable or able to make money with them in other ways.
