Tom Baker talks about Doctor Who 50th Anniversary (BBC News, 23.11.13)

[@TheMeepUsesTheDefiniteArticle]

"It's lovely for people to touch me for luck...or lay hands or them...or listen to their confessions..." Tom Baker is a little nuts but I fucking love that man!

[@marknorth8904]

he ironic thing is that Tom was a Catholic monk after he left the army, and decided he wanted to be an actor...

[@highjim7778]

Im pretty sure he walked off a building site into acting, he was a bricky.

[@samueldixon9028]

The Monk thing was really early on; he was a young teenager when he entered the Monastery (can you imagine going through puberty and taking a vow of celibacy at the same time!?) and was there until his early 20s. Then he did his national service and took up acting during that time. The building work was his day job to support his (at the time not very lucrative) acting career.

[@Fireglo]

I think he was implying he's Jesus xD

[@Hampton-Hamilton-Piggles-Worth]

@@Fireglo That's what I thought! I think he's just having fun bc he's said in an interview fans see him as a god.

[@jime6688]

What a nice man he is. I had heard in a documentary a few years back covering the history of the show, that Tom was probably the most despondent of all that had played the doctor and then had to leave. It was reported that after his last scene, he left the stage with tears in his eyes and didn't say one word. How sad it would be to have such a big part of yourself, your identity and soul taken away from you. You will always be MY doctor Tom. Got my love of trench coats, scarves and hats from you. : )

[@marystone860]

I have one of his scarves on my bedroom wall, along with some other things of his.

[@Imdeadpool]

jime6688 I heard after Tom’s last day on set back in 1981, he didn’t say goodbye to anyone and there wasn’t a big party or anything. He simply finished his work and went to the pub and had a drink and went home. And that was it

[@jasonlee7816]

Austin Oetken some of what you had heard could’ve been invented (made-up)

[@UncleFeedle]

What was so great about Tom Baker is how he brought to the role that sense of combined eccentricity and madness. The voice, the wild hair, the staring eyes, etc. You were never quite sure whether his Doctor was a genius or borderline madman, and he was fascinating to watch because of that.

[@Jotari]

The two things are not mutually exclusive.

[@Nautilus1972]

When I heard Baker's voice on the episode I began to cry. I am a 41 year old male.

[@KampaiSanta1999]

When i heard it, I was like "Wait, i know that voi- NOOOOOOOO!!!!! Really? After all that awesomeness and THIS???" I squirmed~~~~ Also, you're still awesome for crying, it shows love and compassionate.

[@veggiet2009]

I jumped in my seat... when I saw it in the theater on monday a purposeful sigh and hush went through the crowd

I almost choked!

[@meak84]

I am also a 40 year old male and when i heard his voice i think my neigbors heard me 4 houses away he is the doctor i grew up on loved him wish he could have had more of a role in the episode think they should have had that girl give him back his scarf

[@volvo1971]

For so many people as they get older, their voices change... His is still exactly the same :). I love that voice :D.

[@suebursztynski2530]

Absolutely! And I didn't know he was going to be in that episode, but when that rich, beautiful voice spoke, I knew immediately who it was.

[@Fishhunter2014]

Good thing he didn't smoke.

[@MALONEYCAMFIELD]

christhefishhunter He did smoke, like most people in those days. However, he was apparently careful not to smoke in public where kids might see him. I don't know whether he has smoked since those days.

[@suebursztynski2530]

Yes, I heard that. That says something good about him. :-)

[@MacJaxonManOfAction]

Matt Maloney He said he stopped smoking in order to be able to laugh again without coughing. He is now smoke-free. And laughing a lot more :)

[@russelltietjen4407]

When he appeared in Day of the Doctor, just about everyone in the theatre went ballistic! That episode was fan service at it's finest

[@chelletowsend8115]

Just come across this interview. I fell in love with Tom Baker the minute he came on the screen. I was 7 years old. That's never changed and at 53 I still think he was and will always be the best Doctor. I had the privilege of meeting him when I was 18. He was in Glasgow doing a play. Thete is always a high risk of disappointment when you meet your hero. This couldn't have been further from the truth meeting Tom. Not only was he so nice in person he also sent me a couple of hand written letters and signed photos. I even got a thank you note for the whisky I gave him. He will always be my number one.

[@stephenmurphy2212]

Even now (2024) whenever I rewatch the curator scene I tear up when I hear his voice. He was, is and always will be my Doctor.

[@TOSStarTrek]

Tom Baker was my first Doctor. He is the best of the classic doctors

[@Merganman4]

***** Its a matter of opinion, but when it all comes down to it, he's the same man in all of his incarnations, each of them just has their ups and downs. Personally, my favourite Doctor is David Tennant, but he is closely followed by Matt Smith, Tom Baker, and Patrick Troughton.

[@colinmcphan]

+Proton1 I have been watching Tom's episodes recently and Tom's Doctor definitely wasn't 1 dimensional or happy all the time. His Doctor may have literally been as dark or darker at times then any other Doctor. If you watch episodes like "Seeds Of Doom', "Robots Of Death'", "Mask Of Mandragora" (where he let's some innocent party goers die in order to save everybody from the villian) he not only yells at the bad guys but his own companions. In Tom's last season especially everybody says Tom was much more brooding and had a darker feel to his Doctor. That is one thing I have noticed, now that I have been watching his episodes, is that the 4th Doctor could deceptively complex. God bless.😀

[@colinmcphan]

+Merganman4 Sorry you didn't care for the interview with Tom.

[@marystone860]

Hey!!! Mine too!

[@linhiril664]

[@oneworldfamily]

Tom keeps feeding Lizo all these golden quips, with a glint in his eye, but Lizo doesn't pick up on them at all!

[@jerobriggs6861]

I'm so glad he decided to be in the 50th. An absolute joy for fans such as my self. Especially since he and Jon Pertwee were my childhood Doctors.

[@haydncooper2557]

Tom has to have one of the best and most recognisable voices ever!

[@DarthRushy]

The only thing missing from this interview is David Tennant walking by, hands in his pockets and wearing the Fourth Doctor costume.

[@TheRedCreeperTRC]

I was thinking Tom's suit in this interview looked an awful lot like the 10th Doctor's! Even the shirt and tie are similar! David in the 4th Doctor's garb would look terribly odd though, I think. xD

[@aliservan7188]

Tom Baker is an absolute star. I saw him in Sheffield in Arsenic and Old Lace. I can highly recommend his autobiography, brilliant and funny, what a guy!

[@marystone860]

OMG!!, he has a autobiography! Where can I get one?

[@marccaverly5914]

Tom was my first Doctor. Long before DVDs, and the internet, I got a magazine in the mail, not sure which one, but they featured an article about Doctor Who with a pic of John Pertwee, and I was like "THAT'S not The Doctor!" All I knew was Tom Baker. MY whole entire world opened up for me that day! I love all of them for different reasons, but Tom will always be my first Doctor, and always my favorite of the classic era.

[@basketofpuppys]

he should have have offered Matt a Jelly baby in the 50th episode at the end

[@Hendo56]

I thought that, too! It would have been the perfect touch!

[@garethgee]

Hendo56 I was hoping he would just leave the bag of jelly babies on the seat, for Matt's Doctor to find a few seconds later...

[@huwthomas4173]

I think that would've been a bit too much. The jelly babies are well remembered but they weren't in many of his stories overall - they don't define his doctor.

[@greenwoodthebard]

William Hartnell, Patrick Troughton, Jon Pertwee, Christopher Eccleston, were all named in the credits as "Doctor Who" in their time in the TARDIS - it wasn't til Peter Davison took over the credits said "The Doctor." (geek alert)

[@nico2605]

+Stephen Cole it's just the credits though and he's never called like that in the actual episode

[@Phantom-hy2ix]

The Doctor will never ever be called Doctor Who. The title of the show is a question and not his name. But the Peter Cushing Dr Who movies, the character's name was Dr Who ;)

[@NellsStuff]

I always wonder what the younger WHO fans even KNOW about Tom Baker. We Americans really embraced Tom's Doctor, and in fact, didn't get to see a whole lot of the other actors' as often. So I think for Americans my age, Tom is indeed, THE DOCTOR!

[@danielappleton153]

When he left the show to be replaced by Peter Davison, I was STUNNED. When I saw him in " Day of the Doctor ", I got a happy pleasant glow.

[@Anrif_OnlyHueman]

You can tell how sad he is that he's no longer the centre of attention. He basks in the memory of the past glory, and misses the spotlight. At first i thought he may not be humble, but it's just what happens with age, you get nostalgic, and he remains one of my favourite doctors despite, and because of this

[@tomnorton4277]

Tom Baker is a bit of an egotist but I think he's mellowed with age. Occasionally, that egotistical streak does reemerge though, like when he complained that Matt Smith was the only person who said hello to him in Day of the Doctor.

[@kellydclear]

He has the most awesome voice.

[@danielappleton153]

When I saw him in the 50th anniversary special - Actually, when I heard that rich, booming voice - There was this sense of contentment followed by joy. Because his Doctor was the 1st to be broadcast on U.S. airwaves.

[@charliequinification]

Me and my partner watched it live in Australia and I have been a fan for over 30 years. Matt is the first Doctor my partner has seen regen to regen and when Tom came on I started bawling my eyes out. Happy tears, mind. But my poor partner had to deal with me having a cry at 7.30am on a sunday morning!

[@danielappleton153]

charliequinification When I heard that resounding voice, I think my jaw dropped, hit the floor & bounced. Then this warm glow went through my heart & mind, & I smiled. Matt Smith's time as the Doctor was seasoned LIBERALLY with call - backs to " classic " Who. & this moment with Tom Baker was perhaps the BEST !

[@squarehopper]

incorrect - Jon Pertwee - 3rd Doctor was broadcast before Tom's 4th in the US

[@danielappleton153]

squarehopper Not where I lived.

[@colinmcphan]

But Pertwee's episodes were not broadcast thru out the U.S. and unfortunately the show did not catch on with U.S. audiences, on PBS nationally, until they started airing Tom's episodes. The rest, they say, is history.

[@Stibsart]

Oh dear. Perhaps the most profound insight on the BBC that day. Fan love is better than real love. It never grows stale. And no-one even noticed.

[@Bareno91]

You can tell how long and crazy his life was. the way he delivered that line "who...knows..." was pretty sad because you saw how much crazier and sorrow he has gotten over his years. but good to know that he seemed at peace. (atleast thats how i saw it). this was brilliant. gave me chills and made me choke up at the same time.

That hairstyle makes him look a bit like Jon Pertwee. I remember him comparing hairstyles (though he probably meant bodies) in The Brain of Morbius.

I totally agree! Even though I respect the other actors who have played the role, and like some of there interpretations, Tom Baker nailed the character of the Doctor soooooooo perfectly. He was the most natural and believable in the part for me. Plus he had the right balance of alieness, charm, wit, humor, sex appeal and physicalness to make me never think I was watching an actor in the role. Your awesome Tom and some of us have not forgotten your love and respect for the character of the Doctor and your kindness towards the fans. Your a class act all the way Tom.

[@colinmcphan]

+Stefano Pavone I am one one of those rare fans who actually doasn't totally dislike Sylvester. Thought he had some interesting moments. I do love though how well Tom brought out the alieness of the Doctor but showed the influence humans had on him. I also felt a wonderful complexity to Tom's Doctor. He could be funny, charming, witty and cheeky one moment and then be really angry (even snapping at his own companions at times), moody, morbid and slightly depressed feeling (his final season was a great example of that). Tom also had a slightly flirtatious feel with a couple of his companions. But anyway that's only my opinion. God bless.😀
