I have recently become obsessed with discovered "FreakAngels," by Warren Ellis.  Written in weekly six-page episodes at freakangels.com, with ocassional vacation weeks where you get a brief letter instead.

Excerpt from this week's letter:


"I bet that some of you thought I couldn't count, or that I'd gone senile, and probably incontinent, and that I sit here in my own filth talking on the internet in absurd and neverending run-on sentences like that time I wrote a narration for DOCTOR WHO Tom Baker to read and he looked at it and ran his finger across it and ussdenly yelled "Warrn, you bastard, this sentence is sixty one words long!" except that this sentence is probably longer by now and in any case that sentence had extensive punctuation and so Tom handled it just fine, not least because, as he told me with great glee when discussing his advertising work, ' I can make whippet shit sound like The Old Testament!"'

Anyone know what this narration was?  And/or where to find it?

I wondered too, but I'd forgotten like I forget every damn thing. Ah yeah, Cold Winter and Hostile Waters! I knew Ellis had wroted them putey games. Didn't know Tom had done the voices, but it's sensical.

a little google on "Warren Ellis Tom Baker"
came up with these slashdot interviews with Mr E - one of which seems to answer your question

Ellis is an amateur. Go back and read the second-to-last sentence of the chapter when Piglet is trapped by the flood.
