All Tom Baker Doctor Who Prime Computer Ads
ByThese are all the Prime Computer Ads done by Tom Baker and Lala Ward in their Doctor Who costumes in 1980. These are in very good quality and are uncut. Enjoy. Doctor Who belongs to the BBC, though I'm not sure of the exact copyright for these clips, they don't belong to me, that's all I know… No copyright infringement is intended.

The 4th Doctor he always been like this for 7 years thinking he would be like this.

… Damn. I love you, eighties, for you are too awkward.
But since 4/Romana is my OTP, it makes me happy. This is actually the advert that got me to research Lalla Ward. She’s fantastic, even off screen!

Fabulous! Thanks for the memories!!!

To be fair, I think there were quite a few Doctor Who commercials.

It did. It pulled a WOTAN and said “Doctor Who”.

Nice to see ones that weren’t in “More Than 30 Years In The TARDIS”!

@TheLittleDevil I found that out the day after I posted that.

@wiccankitten13 The Doctor never married Romana but Tom Baker DID marry Lala Ward the woman who plays Romana. The marriage lasted only 16 months.

It probably would have worked better on the show than it did in real life.
All kidding aside, Tom and Lalla had excellent chemistry. You only have to watch “City of Death”. It’s one big date. Four and Romana is part of my personal canon.

Oh Tom Baker, my Doctor!!

The Doctor marrying Romana is weird, yet intruigingly interesting. That might have been a good idea for the show. Personaly I loved them thogether.

20 years ago was just a generalisation number I think ? (twas a whiel ago I’d wrote that – *reads 1 year ago*) In other words at the time I wasn’t bothered enough to actually work out the number before I said it. What I’d actually meant was the time of this vid, sorry, I’m terrible at maths.
lol yep

Fantastic to see them all together. Anybody know the price of one of those machines at the time?

I got these adverts on the DVD of Destiny Of The Daleks.

LMAO! Nice Tennant/Davison sideslip!

Yeah; i know when it was. But you said 20 years (which may have just been a typo) and gave a really conservative scale comparison; so my inner geek went off.
It still boggles my mind how far things have come in even just the few decades that i’ve been paying attention. The Sansa in my pocket has more computing power than that cabinet full of equipment.

Hello lovely Tardisgirlfrance…this is foxy from pa’s forum. Loving the Lalla/Tom computer adverts…you’ve been tweeted about by an american voice actor over here…or at least your youtube account has been. Love it as always and despite my being a Christian I still think the fact that Dawkins married Ms. Ward shows that he is a man of excellent taste.

hhooookay when Romana gets real close to the camera and gets this suggestive face on and says ‘it’s terribly interactive’ makes me LAWL. EVERY TIME.
February 11th, 2010 at 5:25 am
Me too
February 11th, 2010 at 5:32 am
Romana: Do you like it?
Doctor: Do I like it!? What have you done to my TARDIS! You’ve changed the desktop theme, haven’t you!? What’s this one, blank!?
Also, gotta love Tom’s expression after 2:03

Although they did say Gallifrey which is probably trademarked somewhere, and there is a little blue box with a big room inside.
