Who is Tom Baker? poster
NR

The Doctor is everyone’s favourite Time Lord. And Tom Baker is everyone’s favourite Doctor. With his manic grin, his wild hair and his mile long scarf, Baker became the definitive Doctor. His wicked sence of humour and naturally gentle personality added whole new dimensions to the character. This video includes a highly revealing interview with Baker that’s never been seen on television or video. Margarita in hand, he soaks up the California sunshine and talks openly about his time as the Doctor.
