Satnav owners will be able to enjoy driving directions from Brian Blessed after a Facebook campaign gained thousands of members.

Richard Gardner from Manchester started the campaign to get the Yorkshire-born actor to voice driving directions in April 2008. After initially attracting a handful of members, the campaign started to gain momentum earlier this year, and subsequently won more than 25,000 supporters. Gardener then contacted TomTom who agreed to approach Blessed about lending his voice for use on satnavs.

Blessed, who is well known for his role as Prince Vultan of the Hawkmen in the film Flash Gordon, agreed to take part.

Pal of mine has the voice of Ozzie Osbourne on his satnav. You can imagine what he says when you reach your destination. :D
 
Prince Vultan: Thanks Flash.
Flash Gordon: What for?
Prince Vultan: For giving an old bird a second chance!
