AIBU?

To think that Benedick Cumbersnatch needs to be the voiceover for EVERYTHING?

His voice could persuade me that I really need to buy toothpaste made from gravel and cat shit.

I yearn for a CBeebies Bedtime Story read out by Benny.

Imagine him doing the voiceover for all the adverts, all the time. Phwoar.

It's not that attractive.



Don Warrington's voice, on the other hand...

Don't see the 'fancying' thing with him at all, but think he's a fantastic actor. Saw 'Star Trek' last week and he absolutely stole that film and ran away holding it over his head, laughing maniacally as he did so. Weird mouth though - at one point he and Chris Pine were facing each other talking and I completely lost track of what they were saying because I was fascinated with their irrespective strange lips!

Oh I totally fancy his arse.

But even if I didn't, he has a voice that could turn your fanjo into a melted mess.

Marmalade, come on over to BCAS in Sleb Twaddle (if you're not already) - you'll love it!

Ooooh I might. Is it very cliquey already though?! Not that I mind a good quiche, you know... It can just be a bit like walking up to a group in a pub and going "Oh HAI" right in the middle of their convo and they're all Hmm Grin

I vote for BC and Morgan Freeman to voice everything and anything for ever.

Imagine Siri on an iPhone as BC?!!

I think I could even get on with a sat nav if it had BC's voice. And I hate sat navs.

YANBU.

Marmalade Grin I get the same thing whenever I hear Mads Mikkelsen's silky Danish accent. Yeah and he's pretty easy on the eye too!
