[Closed] Brian Blessed - Satnav - anyone have his 'voice'?

It seems fun doesn't it? My dad had John Cleese for a while on his, but y'now, after a while it just got tedious, having the miserable bell-end do clearly bored Basil Faulty impressions for what must have been a fat fee.

How can having Brian Blessed in the car with you EVER be tedious? 😆

I want Yoda

Around when possible turn, hmmm

Problem is that he would never say 'Gordon's Alive!!' so a little pointless in my opinion 😉

😆 True, that yes is. Yes, hmmm.

A friend of my sisters won a competition to be the TomTom voice in Ireland. To be sure.

last i heard, Brian hadn't done the voice-over - you can't get it.

i joined a facebook pressure group - the main dude talked to TomTom, and to Brian, and was having some success.

TomTom said they liked the idea, but wouldn't do anything about it until the facebook group got big enough.

but i don't think anything's happened yet...

(add your name to the group - it can only help)

edit: it seems it [i]has[/i] happened - it's released in October! - this is the greatest day of my life!

How about Tom Baker doing it? That would be worth something..

Kathy?

He doesn't say "Gordon's alive" but I've been told he does say "Gordon's arrived" when you get to your destination.

😆

My favourite ever Have I got news for you episode is the one hosted by Brian.

He was off his head on that show. Masterclass.

They get old fast, I reckon.

I don't own a sat nav but that could actually tempt me.

Or maybe not. I lose count of how many times a day someone blames a problem on following a sat nav. They really to seem to be a lobotomy in a box.

Hora,

I'm with you on that one, none of the regulars could get a word in 🙂

Captain Kirk? ShatNav.

😆 mucked up every punchline as well!

We live on a street 3 years old. People still phone us completely perplexed when the satnav won't recognise the postcode. They can't explain it.

It's a ****in new build, isn't it you moron! The country is full of bloody new builds, surely you must have seen this before?! Grr.

Am watching it on youtube at the mo 🙂

Had a funny conversation with the kids recently trying to decide what voice they'd like to liven up the journey.

After much discussion the winner was Ned Flanders.

Er, not as far as I know!
It's the name of the voice file for the lady with the soothing Irish accent on my TomTom.

I reckon BB would be awesome.

In the meantime I'm listening to the very foxy Emma on my iPhone CoPilot - almost makes me want to carry on driving, especially through residential areas with lots of turns 😯

I tried Surfer Dude on my Nokia. It was annoying.

The best bit from about 1min in onwards

😆

The voice over artiste is actually called Nieve

We have Beavis and Buthead giving directions on ours, no end of fun!

Captain Kirk? ShatNav.

Could also be Sean Connery

They get old fast, I reckon.

I still want a Darth Vader one.

😆 I recently watched the movie again......and after all these years I thought 'maybe it could be one of those 'it was good at he time'....however I still laughed/loved it and slipped into their slow-pace 😀

I still want a Darth Vader one.

There's a free one on TomTom Home, "You have completed your journey to the darkside"

I just heard a "cross the roundabout, sith exit" or something like that 😆

I want Samuel L Jackson.

"At the next roundabout take the 3rd exit. Mother ****er"

I think it's Emma I've got on my Copilot app. If I had a 'celebrity' voice on there, then I'd want someone like Julia Bradbury, a nice, warm, calm voice. A loud excitable one would drive (ha!) me to distraction. Literally.

Holly from red dwarf. A soothing Irish accent would be dangerous.
