Here’s a promo I found, advertising the BBC’s Radio Data System for local radio in the North West.

Looks like some left overs from Red Dwarf and Chris Barrie appears to be doing the voice over!

[Ben Paddon]

Well, that’s prob’ly ‘cos it is him.

[Jonsmad]

So, who is it?

[Ridley]

Stew, he says he’s Chris Barrie, he must be!

[Jawscvmcdia]

It’s Chris Barrie.

[Pete Part Three]

Chris Barrie is a great impressionist, so I don’t doubt his Chris Barrie is spot on.

In the words of Mike Yarwood, “It’s not easy to do yourself.”

We should ask his Twitter to verify just in case.

At around 0:14 you can hear ‘The Archers’ theme in the background.

I hate Archers, The Archers and Jeffrey Archer.
