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.

Normaqlly I despise the commercialization of art, even pop art. But these are pretty awesome.

The doctor has a sports car. Jack has a shopping cart.

The Dr Who Meets His Match ad is still one of the most remarkable bits of footage ever shot related to Doctor Who. How they got away with that (despite the real-life relationship between Tom and Lalla) I’ll never know. If that had aired in the UK fans would have exploded en masse! (I love showing this ad to people who get upset over Paul McGann or David Tennant romancing their companions).
