The only person I want narrating my
nature docos is the only person who
should be narrating them, I speak of
none
other than the great Sir David
Attenborough. Now sir David isn't as
young as he used to be and As far as I
know steps are already being taken to
have him cloned, but what
do we do
while
the young cloned Attenborough is
growing
up? There is only one answer, and that is
to can his voice, I'm sure that in the
thousands of programs he has done
there
is enough words to make nearly any
sentance required to make future docos.
So I'm sure that in order for the BBC to
uphold its reputation for producing
quality
nature docos the next logical step would
be to create a simpletext style program
with Sir Davids voice. Anyway thats the
Idea. Excuse any spelling errors, just
wanted to punch that out before I shoot
off to work. Oh this also offers to be
hours of pointless fun on your home pc
as you make Sir David say all sorts of
rediculous things.
Sir Davids

Attenborough, Cox, King, Brewster, Willcocks, Frost, Wilkie, Martin, Bruce, Lean, Lane. Sounds like a City law firm, but could, in fact, be an extension to the range. [calum, Oct 17 2005]

and my beloved Bill Oddy? |
|
| |
He's of a species not yet described by science, [po]. |
|
| |
...that doesn't detract from his lovableness. |
|
| |
What about the other naturalist David with a magical voice?
Prof. David Bellamy. |
|
| |
It'll be a sad day when he's gone. + |

I think Chris Tucker should try dubbing some Attenborough documentaries, word-for-word. Go on. Just try it. |
|
| |
I went to see Atty interviewed by Michael Palin once. It was very interesting and at the end they had a small amount of time for questions from the floor. Somebody asked whether he had to do many retakes when doing one of his walking and talking segments. He thought about this for a moment and then said:
<inimitable david>"Well, we write the script, I review it, make any changes that I feel are appropriate and then the camera rolls and I deliver my lines." [slight pause] "And most of the time, I am simply marvellous."</inimitable david> |

//I think Chris Tucker should try dubbing // Joe Pesci? Or worse, Joe Pasquale. (sorry for the list) |
|

"...and following the news there is a look at the secret world of the Brazilian stump-vole, narrated by Sir David Voice-Generator." |
|
| |
[calum] They missed "Steel" |
|
| |
[copro], I missed him off 'cause he's a nasty little toerag. |
|
| |
Which looks a lot like a bad attempt at spelling touareg, you must admit. |
|
| |
Baron Steel of Aikwood may be many things but nomadic tribesman he is not. |
|
| |
They're nasty little toerags, though, when they're not Volkswagen SUVs. |

The old BBC Micro had a speech PHROM which contained syllables as spoken by (then) news reader Richard Baker - You could get it to say all sorts of things in his voice - I guess you could do the same thing for David Attenborough (or Bloddy, po). |
|
| |
//by (then) new reader Richard Baker// [dub]I'm quite sure Richard Baker had been reading for a long time by the mid-80s - he'd been working for the BBC since 1950, so I'm sure he must've read something in all that time. |
|
| |
I think Bobcat Goldwait should give it a try. His first name *is* Bobcat, anyways. He'd be a sure thing. |
|
| |
[copro] a friend said Richard Baker also did the narration for Bod <hums cute little tune, and says "Bod">. Is that true? |
|
| |
No, that was John le Mesurier. |
|
| |
Ah, you're right - Richard Baker did "Mary, Mungo And Midge" |
|
| |
//was he Mary?// Only to very close friends. |
