Totally agree... Non better.

Under milk wood too... Superb.

And his interview where he talks about alcoholism.

Came here to say that, but only the earlier stuff, later he became a bit too self-aware.

Sean Pertwee on Professional Masterchef is silky-smooth.

Agree with Sean P.

Finchy from the office (Ralph Ineson) does a lot (e.g. Dacia), he's got a nice distinctive voice.

Oliver Postgate... If you're a child of the 70s and 80s you'll know why.

Toast of London “...release the nuclear weapons!”

Based on his experience in the studios, apparently.

Who was that bloke who did the voiceover for Barratts housebuilders among many others?
