Tom Baker About Regeneration | Doctor Who

[@SunniestAutumn]

BBC: "Okay, Tom, talk a bit about regeneration." Tom: "Paul McGann is a very handsome man."

[@YasonYou]

Well, so is Eccelston, Tennant and Matt Smith. Wonder why he didn't mention any of them.

[@SamJLance]

Yason You 1. Matter of opinion. 2. He doesn’t have to obsessively list every other actor in the role he also considers “handsome” 3. What a weird thing to contest.

[@YasonYou]

I just find it odd that out of the plethora of young, handsome Doctors, he chose Mcgann.

[@jamess9855]

But I mean have you seen Paul McGann though

[@YasonYou]

@@jamess9855 oh yes he is quite something. But have you looked at Christooher Eccleton? But REALLY look at him? He is gorgeous.

Well it is a good thing that he didn't see that movie otherwise he could have had heart attack.

[@orlando098]

He said: "He's a glamorous looking man, he looked fabulous - in that film - I never saw the film..." It does sound odd, but I guess it makes sense if he saw the odd clip from it or publicity shot etc...

Yes it was. You had the most wonderfully mad Doctor from the new series meeting the most wonderfully mad Doctor (?maybe?) from the original series.

[@Mst3kfan1994]

@@phoenixcarter7775 Hahaha, you're telling me! I remember seeing The Day of the Doctor in a theater and feeling like it was just last week. Hard to believe Tom Baker is 88 years old now.

[@Concreteowl]

Matt was famously barely aware of Doctor Who when he got the job and did all his research after getting the job. But Tom remembered and appreciated Matt coming up to and being very friendly to him when everyone else was very absorbed in what they were making. I wonder if he could see himself in Matt's position of being close to the end of his run and remembered his own last series.

[@joannamorgan3433]

Tom is still "my Doctor" I saw his regeneration from Jon Pertwee when I was nearly 5 years old....a big part of my childhood!

[@fjccommish]

I agree Baker was terrific in the role. I don't agree that Freeman is some kind of terrific actor.

[@fahadus]

You're probably basing that on the voice. He does have a beautiful voice and beautiful manner of speaking. But Tom is a much much superior actor than Mr. Freeman. Everyone who's seen him as the Doctor knows every other Doctor is the "other" Doctor.

[@UnchainedEruption]

It's incredible how I see interviews from the 70's and 80's, and he has the exact same stories now, down to the detail, that he told then. Such a sharp memory, even at his age.

[@DEinarsson]

"He was fabulous in that film... I never saw the film..."

[@diosceles]

I had the honor of meeting Tom Baker in person as a young kid at a Who convention in Chicago back in the early 80's. He was the first person of fame I'd met, and I will always recall how much of a perfect gentleman he was.

[@colinmcphan]

So many fans have lovely and fond things to say about meeting Tom. He seems to really appreciate, love and respect the fans. That is why I want to meet the most iconic Doctor of all Tom Baker. He just seems genuine with people he meets.

[@davidyoung5114]

I really think Tom appeared at the end of Day of The Doctor as a kind of apology for not taking part in the Five Doctors episode in 1983.

Then maybe eccleston will be the same.

[@QuintonReviews]

John Shedletsky Give him 20-30 years. He'll come round, whether for audio, or for a brief TV appearance. If, of coarse, he still looks young. (What? Of you all have put the "you have to look the same" restriction on the first 8 Docs, I can put the same on 9)

[@TerryTanktop]

[@ryanmarte1934]

Hopefully he lives many many more years. Who agrees? :7)

[@colinmcphan]

I think to some extent what Tom said is true. There are exceptions to the rule but not every actor who has played Doctor Who has been best friendsf with all the other actors who have played the part. Or they didn't get to spend a lot of time with the person who was taking over. But like Tom said as well I think there all cordial or friendly towards each other in general and respects each other work. You notice Tom uses all first names, never just last names. Plus for some of them it can be hard to leave the role. Still brilliant, funny and very astute. God bless Tom.

[@jamesslater9098]

From the sound of things tom is sort of an oddball within the former doctor sphere. All the other classic who doctors still living seem quite chummy in a way that tom isn't. And while I don't know about Nu-who I get the feeling that they're all quite friendly with each other. Minus Eccleston of course but he has had a reason to dismay the role.

[@TheHutchhickersGuide]

I met that man at Big Finish Day 2 ... Had a photo with him, he signed Android Invasion for me, he looked at my scarf and said to me "I like the scarf" and I thought to myself "YYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!! :D :D" and I remember he gave me an EXTREMELY good piece of acting advice .. I took that advice straight to my heart .. I would LOVE to meet him again :)

[@Kryojenix]

@@colinmcphan Tom did record all the vowel/consonant combinations so that for a while certain paid subscribers to GPS SatNav mapping (back when we used to have to pay subscriptions for such things) or was it actually mobile phone subscribers could have their text messages read out in his voice (so everyone sent sweary texts to each other)

[@lauraboiocchi4666]

Glad to see my favourite Doctor talking so well about my second favourite Doctor's looks. I also believe Paul McGann was unbelievable glamorous as The Doctor and he still is the most handsome of them all.

[@uoabigaillevey]

Tom's voice is, to me, the voice of The Doctor. Grew up in the 70's and 80's and Tom's Doctor is the one which I watched on PBS. I love the new series (what of it I have been able to watch) but nothing compares to the old.

[@stevepeterson6070]

Tom was the best ever doctor, hands down the best of the classic doctor who. Thank you so much Tom for entertaining us so adeptly.

[@BrotherTree1]

He is, I can proudly say without bias, a true legend.

[@colinmcphan]

Tom Baker......greatest Doctor ever. Brilliant actor who wasn't afraid to do it in his own unique style with wonderful wit and style. It was his portrayal that created a worldwide phenomenon and made America stand up and take notice. He also got college aged people to finally watch the show......Philip Hinchcliffe's own words.

[@adriennefoster2486]

Interesting. Although these aren't negative comments about working on the series, they aren't the most glowing either. Turning over the reigns of the Doctor must be a very somber experience for the actor leaving it. I like that Tom Baker had let his hair grow out for this interview. Add in a little color and I doubt he would have looked much different than his days as the Doctor, just older. I would have loved to see him in the old costume again for the 50th anniversary episode.

[@jamessheppard4486]

I don't think many people give credit to Tom Baker on his fantastic mind for acting, alot of people write him off as being bonkers, which he is, but when he gets down to the meat of a part or topic about acting and performing he really knows his stuff. Love him!

[@ElDubsNZ]

Happy Birthday Tom! 90 years old!

[@MIGHTYBOOSCH198]

If there's only one good thing about the modern series is that from Tenant all The Doctors so far are very kind to each other and good freinds.

[@fahadus]

The bad thing is. They have all pretty much complained about the amount of work they have to do on the series. It's not just acting for 14 episodes. They're put into too much distress. Eccleston left because he didn't like the "culture". Matt and David both said they loved every second of it but are relieved they don't have to go back to work. Peter Capaldi has already said that he's too exhausted to keep it fresh and that's why he's quitting, which is a big shame. An actor of his caliber should've been given room to breathe, he's got some nice stories under his belt but I still think he was criminally underutilized. BBC needs to take this into consideration. If the actors aren't having a good time like Tom did back in the day. It would be hard to keep this going.

[@PaulBeard1990]

He's looked after himself well and great voice. I met him once such a kind great man one of the best moment of my life and met the brig at same time

[@frogglegrume]

I swear I could just listen to Tom Baker talk for days about literally anything.

[@Drakelx55]

I think David Tennant and Matt Smith are the two exceptions to this, since they're very good friends

[@MultiLegoMan101]

Jeremy Xu Same with William Hartnell and Patrick Troughton, both were good friends who starred together in other films, William even requested Patrick take over the role as the Doctor

[@GhostPirate6]

***** As well as Jon Pertwee and Patrick Troughton, although they didn't like each other at first. I think it was said that some of the antagonistic scenes between the Second and Third Doctors were real.

[@MultiLegoMan101]

Really? That's kind of funny, actually. But I'm assuming they warmed up to each other soon after.

[@GhostPirate6]

***** I believe so. I think it was sometime after filming that it happened.

[@bigwingedkuriboh]

+GhostPirate6 there were much closer friends when they were doing "The Five Doctors" and doctors 5-8 are good friends in real life.

[@azapro911]

That's one area in which revived Who is quite different, outgoing and incoming Doctors are very cordial and complimentary to each other; Smith and Tennant had tremendous chemistry with each other onscreen and in interviews during Day of the Doctor.

[@docbrown6550]

Tom Baker is still the number one best Doctor Who.

[@sambenyamin]

This guy is my motivation. I started to watch classic doctor who, i struggle a bit. But he is my motivation. I want to watch all of the classics or at least until 1981 when he regenerated before he passes away. He is amazing person and i want him to live many years, not because of my struggle but because of how amazing this person is

[@bangerbangerbro]

If you struggle so much to be interested in a TV program then why bother? The whole point is that it is entertainment.

[@davidanato5701]

Does anyone remember in the Day of the Doctor, The Curator states that The Doctor will be revisiting a few faces..but just the favorites. A possibility is that if new doctors aren't available to find they can always go back to a few populars, especially explains the whole new regeneration cycle, a new 10, new 11 etc.. For Al owe know Tom Baker can come back!!! (I know it's possible but hey a man can dream.)

[@gorillaau]

DIs the curator one of the incarnations of the Doctor. Perhaps retired.. similar to the Professor in Shada... I forget his name, though I watch Shada just the other day.

[@julieeverett7442]

if this new doctor is so disgusting they can always go back and do the lost tales, while the stories arent available on video anymore, they ARE on audio! David Bradley has proven to be a very worthy echo of the first doctor, they could always animate 2 through6, or considering how good cgi is these days have the originals do them then cgi their younger faces! 7 looks much the same so does 8, and he only got a movie, I would love to see more of him! And as for the youngsters I know the nuwho fans would love to see them again. And there are waaay too many points left untied. And yes, to see Tom again, old or new yes yes yes!!!

[@JasonTDolan]

SPOILER ALERT! - All the Doctors are in the episode. Tom Baker flew in from France on 25th June for scenes, wow, you should see how they played it, it's amazing! Peter Davidson did scenes with Tennant and Smith on 3rd-7th July. McGann filmed his on 2nd-7th July, McCoy and Colin Baker did scenes on 19th July, and wait for it, after a big kiss and hug from Russell T Davis, Christopher Eccleston agreed to came back and did some short scenes for the last 9 minutes of the episode, but only if they agreed to not try typecast him, filmed on 12-14th September. The three dead Doctors were CGI. Though the 1st Doctor was played by David Bradley in the trotter lane scenes, oh no gave more away, Moffat lied his arse off to you again. Now, please... Just stop trying to spoil it before it has been broadcast. Ps> Don't tell anyone else this info. Because now you won't have anything to look forward to on 23rd November. Isn't that what you all wanted?.

[@stephenramirez6349]

[@JasonTDolan]

I didn't read magazines. I get my information first hand. Check the dates I posted and a whole week before it on my Twitter. Did I lie?. No. Have you watched the Five(ish) Doctors yet with all the other past Doctors?. Tom Baker was in this 50th episode. The others in the spin offs. So, you had your early Christmas. The problem with some people is, they will never be happy. Btw, it isn't finished yet, just wait till Christmas Day, it's not going to be the usual. Far from it. At least I tell you things, more than Moffat does!.

The regeneration scenes and events leading up to them are amongst the best in the program's history. I remember being quite mortified when as a 6 year old I saw Peter Davison turn into Colin Baker. Up until then, I knew nothing of the concept. It was a genuine surprise and so disappointed that Peter left too soon for my liking. To paraphrase the Brigadier; The Doctors are splendid fellows, all of them.

[@timrob12]

That whole regeneration thing is still true. Last I heard about it is that Matt Smith didn't give any advice to Peter Capaldi and I don't think Capaldi said anything to Jodie Whittaker. Probably so that each actor can do their own version, as they should.

Oh my god, the richness if Tom Baker’s voice, it’s something from a dream. Sad to hear that the Who actors back in the day weren’t all that warm about it as they passed on the role. I would love if they could bring more of the classic Doctors back, explaining their appearances by similars means of Tim Crash, or some other timey-wimey plot bunny. Especially if we could get Tom Baker and McGann. Have Four fawning over Eight, saying, “Oh my, I can’t wait to wear that face! We’re going to be so fetching, aren’t we?” While whoever is the current Doctor stands in the background, “HEY! He’s not the only pretty one!”

[@GhostPirate6]

mrbobby331 Well, I didn't mean it like that. What I meant was to film a scene with Tom Baker saying something "Doctor-y" to end the show with. It makes for a nice bookend with the show ending with the Doctor as the Curator.
