House Calls from the Doctor

If you are a Doctor Who fan (even a little bit!), run, do not walk, to this site and listen to everything on it immediately. It's a series of prank phone calls made by a guy doing a very good impression of Tom Baker who calls people up pretending to be the Doctor. Targets include telephone directory assistance, which he attempts to use to look up the Master; a hardware store where he's checking to see if they have sonic screwdrivers in stock; and a bookmaker's, where he attempts to place a bet on a sporting event that already happened a year ago (whoops, got the time coordinates wrong!). He also phones up Sylvester McCoy, who believes it's really Baker and seems rather worried about him ("Have you been to the pub?") and Tom Baker, himself, who takes it completely in stride and proceeds to upstage the prankster completely. I swear, these are quite possibly the funniest things I've ever heard, especially the Tom Baker one. (I have to offer major thank-you's to the friend of my sister's who drew my attention to these by sending me some of them on tape. I finished listening to them half an hour ago, and I'm still grinning!)
