"Symphony is a company with a firm foundation, and if you don't believe that you can fuck off and get your cards!" -Tom Baker

As a sound engineer, I've worked with Tom a fair few times on ads and whatnot. He's having a laugh, that's how he is. I actually have better outtakes of him than this. They'll be on KZfaq when I retire...

Tom, this is Clem Fandango, can you hear me?

Tom Baker is lovely to work with in real life. Just don't give him a shit script.

Tom Baker swearing is music to my ears

"I'm getting a stalk on here" Tom Baker, aroused by script.

I've met Tom twice, amazing guy. Polite, generous with his time, hilarious, extremely eccentric. He tried to chat up my Mum 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Tom is a fucking genius. The man is so great he could even make an American sitcom watchable by appearing in it. Tom is an underestimated and underused talent, give him his own show.

I'm so emotional I've got a stalk on - cracks me up every time

90 glorious years. Happy birthday Tom.

I fucking love Tom Baker. He's everything an Englishman should be

"Welcome to the house of Symphony...come in dear...a can of soup...we'll read the Bible together... and you can put your satchel in the cupboard"

Oh, this is hilarious. Tom Baker can curse like a sailor and still be entertaining.

I'm getting a stalk on listening to this

i adore distilled whippet shit. I want that on my gravestone

This guy use to be a catholic monk. Just throwing that out there.

This is the British Frozen Peas.

i want Tom to be my english teacher lol

If you've ever worked with actors doing voice work this is pretty normal. I bet the guys in the booth (that you can't hear) are laughing. He's entertaining himself and the other people who are there.

"YES I CAN HEAR YOU, CLEM FANDANGO!"

Tom Baker is wonderful, i love him.

It's pretty funny when he says "fuckin' 'ell"

Peter Capaldi performing this as Malcolm Tucker would be amazing!

I've heard a few Orson Welles commercial outtakes, but Tom's beats them all.

“Distilled whippet shit…” 😂😂

Tom sounds like the narrator in the Stanley parable in this

"OK, Symphony's out the way, what's next? Ah yes: We know a remote farm in Lincolnshire..."

"You haven't looked in your dictionary!" Tom, you're awesome!

Haha 😂 love it. He'll always be my Doctor. Forever and ever! I miss Sarah Jane so much. 😢

I think Tom was going through one of his many 'cut down to just eighteen pints of lager a day' periods when he taped this.

Oh.... I absolutely LOVE this. I could listen to this all day....Though I do feel a bit sorry for the person he is tearing apart. Though I don't think I could have kept a straight face had he said this to me.

Absolutely hilarious... "Are you sure you aren't just translating this straight from the fucking Albanian?"

Taking a stand for intelligence and integrity. Go Tom! Love it!

His schtick arguing about "repairability" reminds me of a famous sound outtake of William Shatner arguing with a producer while recording a TV spot: "No, YOU say Sabotaage, I say Sabotayge."

Usually, what happens is that the recording studio keeps a backup copy of the voice session until such time as the client confirms that it's not needed any more. When that happens, the tape/file is usually recycled/trashed, but the amusing ones sometimes get copied for personal use before that happens ;)

Happy 90th birthday, Tom.

See he's talking endless shit, but you know the engineers and producers are laughing their asses off.

The original Toast of London.

I walked out of my house the other morning and right outside, was a great big symphanony truck. And I instantly thought if this

Oh my god do I love this man.

This has been one of my favourite things on the whole net for years.

Pure Legend and all ways will be!

This is just brilliant! Such an eccentric bloke.

He is so adorable

I would kill to hear the other side of conversation.

Absolutely sublime!

Tom baker makes swearing cool

when baker turn capaldi

Tom Baker being pre-Christian Bale in this take. It's fucking awesome. It doesn't fucking surprise me. And it doesn't fucking bother me one bit because Baker has an awesome voice no matter what he says.

I’ve got to admit his attitude and swearing just makes me respect him more he’s pretty much the British tarantino

I got a stalk on listening to this!!!! 👍

I love this man

I have a new found respect for this guy.

Oh Tom what are we going to do with you...

The voice of genius. Can you imagine Matt Smith doing this?

Amazing!

Sound so crispy you could mistake it for popcorn

I saw a Symphony van in the wild earlier, didnt think theyd still exist!

Must have listened to this over ten times today.."the passion of retail"lol

Tom baker is the master roaster

My hero.

This is priceless!!!

Actually the dictionary agrees with Tom's first take.

i love that ad

@grant24678 Oh, Tom is a regular potty mouth. Check out some of his informal interviews. He's one of the only people I know of that can use that language and still come off charming.

Damn, Tom Baker would make a good insult comic.

Should be on the English GCSE syllabus

ugh - now i want soup and a place to put my satchel

It’s blooming Toast of London!! 😂

4 Albanians didn't like this audio clip.

Wow, it hurts! Please i am laughing so hard it hurts!

Awesome.

I’m getting a stalk on Tom makes me laugh so much 😂😂😂

Actually - I worked with Tom for a series of ads, he's one of the worst celebs for being 'up there', but damn if he's not fcking hilarious.

He sure told them 😂👌

Fantastic! It's a fucking symphony.

I agree..!

Tom worked on construction sites to eat. Interesting to hear Tom this way.

"are you sure this isnt a translation from the fucking albanian"

I'll put my satchel in Tom's cupboard any time!

I fucking love this man.

He,is doctor who love him

Class 😂🤣

Great stuff from a great actor:) The sad world of advertising:)

The most funniest 7:03 I have had for ages thanks Tom.

Distilled whippet shit!!! I love him so much!!

Britain, Britain, Britain !

Reminds me of Toast of London with Matt Berry 🤣🤣🤣.

*gasps* That had me KO!!! Sublime indeed!! :D

Distilled Whippet Shit needs to be a T-shirt.

Tom is fucking hilarious!!.

They'd put you into a fucking coma! So funny. Love it!

I fucking love it! this is so great im getting a stork on it...love when Tom says that...

We know a remote farm in Lincolnshire where Mrs. Buckley lives. Every July, peas grow there...

The real Steven Toast.

loool the way this begins

5.40 tom baker is a comedy genius

Orson Welles wished he could have had an outtake like this...

"ready when you are" lol
