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.
Produced for American Public Television, this documentary on the long-running Doctor Who television series features interviews with actors and actresses who played the traveling companions of the Time Lord hero and with three actors, Jon Pertwee, Peter Davison, and Colin Baker, who portrayed the title character, as well as footage of a U.S. fan convention where Tom Baker, appeared and answered questions. The fan backlash against the 1985-6 hiatus for the series and the finding of some previously lost Jon Pertwee era episodes are addressed, and this documentary closes with some on-the-street interviews with British viewers, who tell who their favorite Doctor is.
