Cool fact for those who don't use the link above ...

Before Brian Cobby worked for BT, he recorded the �5-4-3-2-1� Thunderbirds are go!� for the theme tune to Gerry Anderson�s TV series!

I believe he also does the voice for the BBC's telephone system where you say the name of the person you're trying to reach and it tries to guess who you want. Chris Moyles sometimes messes around with it.
