Back in 1980, Tom Baker and Lalla Ward appeared as the Doctor and Romana in a series of ads for Prime Computers. These may be the wittiest ads ever written—if Douglas Adams didn’t write these, it was written by someone who had his style down pat.

The Dr Who Meets His Match ad is still one of the most remarkable bits of footage ever shot related to Doctor Who.

(I love showing this ad to people who get upset over Paul McGann or David Tennant romancing their companions).
