+ngNudraconis I agree. If people would actually sit and listen to what Tom is saying and how he is saying it they would know that he is not always be serious or is trying to make a point by using intellect, wit and humor. I don't always agree with every little thing Tom says but at least he makes me think and makes me look at my own beliefs and values. Hopefully the people watching and listening to this will realize where Tom was coming from and what he was trying to say. Great interview involving two very intelligent people.

yeah right. his realistic viewpoint about life may piss some ppl off. but when one is ready to face the truth, its easy to understand where he is coming from..."I believe in the absolute path of love. Even though I know love is not enduring,... just like ambitions never be realized, that life is disappointing & sometimes humiliating, but one has to be optimistic and believe". How true is that? And his face, lol, i cannot sleep if he keeps staring at me like that... :D :D :D

Keanu Dave - Even if Tom were his favorite he'd still say it was Peter because he's his father-in-law. The lady who played the Doctor's daughter actually is the Doctor's daughter, but she's also the Doctor's wife, and now they have a girl child. So that little girl is the Doctor's granddaughter, and the Doctor's daughter, and the Doctor's daughter's daughter. 😂

Tom is one of the most genuine people you could ever wish to meet. How true re. his comment (5.45>)? Perfectly decent ordinary men now avoid engaging with children fearing that they might be accused of impropriety. What a sad World we now live in! I worked at a venue where Tom was signing autograph in the stalls. A disabled boy who could only watch from the (wheelchair accessible) circle just looked on. Tom went up to the circle specially to see the wheelchair bound little boy, and spent some 10-15 mins. talking to him. A truly splendid chap.!

Best voice in the business....I used to be a regular in the Man in The Moon pub on Kings road back in the early 80s and so was Tom. Someone asked him once why he never sat down...Tom just looked at him and said, "I have learned that if I don't sit down, I know when it's time to leave". He enjoyed a drink, but didn't want to ever not be able to get up and go home. I think the sight of Reggie outside the pub sometimes, reinforced that view in Tom, Tom liked a drink, but I never saw him drunk. He was always incredibly polite as well, and was never rude to fans.

I know this is an older comment, but I feel like responding. She was responds to what Tom had just said. Claiming that everyone should receive acknowledgement for their achievements. If we were to be on TV then we would likely receive recognition for it. We should be recognized for our talents and achievements though. It raises our awareness of who we are and what we are good at. That’s what I wish to say.

Being from The States I never got to see much of British actors as themselves in interviews until the internet. Because of this I was never able to decide if Tom was just trolling the world or if he really was as wonderfully enigmatic as he comes across.

Tom Baker is one of the greatest British actors of all time. Its heartening to hear an American ( im assuming you are for are an American) appreciate this find underrated. For such a talented actor he appeared in relatively few films,He was actually born and raised in Liverpool and doesnt even have a typical Scouser accent. Baker was the best Dr Who. Baker does the narration for Lttle Britian and Little Britian comedy shows.Bakers most famous film role was as a Rasputin in Nicholas and Alexandra. He also had a memorable role as Moore in The Vault of Horror. He appeared as Koura in The Golden Voyage of Sinbad.I remember as kid watching The Book Tower which he presented. I just discovered he also appeared in an episode of Remington Steel titled "Hounded Steele" .

What a wonderful interview. Tom Baker a true English eccentric, they don't make em like this anymore. I'm amazed he didn't make it bigger in the states, like a more interesting Elliiot Gould. The Long Goodbye with Tom Baker would have been fun. A brilliant actor and one of our legends.

Started with the New Doctor Who series and think there all good but when I caught some of Tom's episodes last year on BBC America he blew me away. Now I finally see why they use the words iconic and legendary with the 4th Doctor. Plus I find Tom's Doctor very cute and adorable. Doas anybody else think so?
