I had absolutely no idea that Tom Baker and Lalla Ward did advertisements for Prime Computer in the #1980s! Also, I have never, ever heard of Prime Computer. What's even more astounding is that they were based in my home state of Massachusetts! Why have I never heard of them?
It makes sense that Doctor Who would be a "hot property" in Massachusetts at that time. #WGBH in #Boston aired the Baker years frequently.
@artair They took over the old Carling Brewery off Rte. 9 in #Natick and one of the things they did was to restore Carling Falls - an artificial waterfall down to Lake Cochituate. Later the building became headquarters for Boston Scientific, which eventually moved to Marlborough.
@artair Dunkin' Donuts' Fred the Baker had a little known side gig as a corporate executive whose underling angered IBM by recommending another MA-based company. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7pBAt2kWqA
