    He was my Doctor, though Tennant won me over eventually, so good in the role. Tom Baker though - I would always watch Dr Who before going out as a teenager and he was just amazing and the show so good even with the foam rubber special effects. Hair so different now but that smile is the same! He looks great for 91.

    God dammit Tom. Why’d you have to go and get old on us?

      I know, like I’ve loved David Tennant and Eccleston is probably my favourite, but when you say Doctor Who, Tom Baker is the first image that comes in to my head. He might not be my favourite but he is my Doctor.

        Yeah the doctors odd way of talking and thinking started with him, plus the scarf. But basically feel the same.

    Such a difference from the Curator, and that was, what? 13 years ago now?

    Weird how much he’s grown to look like the 1st Doctor.

      Article writers, I implore you, stop putting old peoples’ ages in the middle of the title if they aren’t dead.

      I’ve seen the headline several times in the last few days, still hasn’t lost its effect.

    I am actually a little suprised he was not knighted already. Him as the 4th Doctor is so iconic. I bet you could show him dressed in that outfit to any adult anywhere in the world and they would probably know what or who he is

      In majority English-speaking countries maybe. Which, granted, should justify an MBE.
