When Brian Cobby speaks, the world listens.
The 73-year-old would not be recognised if he walked down the street but, as the man behind the Speaking Clock, his voice is known to millions.
As well as helping people keep the time, his skills are also called upon by insomniacs who listen to his soothing tones to help get to sleep.
Let us hope he will be remembered for his main role and parts in films with the likes of Madonna -not as another man whose pillow talk sends the ladies to sleep.
