For a generation of Australians, there remains only one true Doctor Who: actor Tom Baker, who played the fourth, and most popular, incarnation of the time-traveller between 1974 and 1981. On the eve of the show's 50th anniversary, Michael Idato met him in London Doctor Who has, in five decades, seen off almost 800 episodes and no less than 11 actors in the lead role. It's even in the Guinness Book of Records as the longest-running science fiction program. What do you make of all of that? Posted Image THE REAL DOCTOR: Tom Baker Source Link |

I saw a couple of the William Hartnell Doctors way back in in the late 60's in black and white and it didn't grab me, looked so dark and cheap. Then LONG after I caught a couple Peter Davison because I liked him in ALL CREATURES... Then it wasn't 'til Christopher Eccleston that I got grabbed. And it didn't hurt when he palled up with one of my favorite hotties, John Barrowman (of TORCHWOOD and lately ARROW.) And who didn't love Billie Piper as Rose. I got through the David Tennants barely and then lost interest with Matt Smith. So really, for me there has only been one Doctor, or maybe 1.5. (Tennant was okay.) I have never quite swallowed the silly looking Daleks as all-powerful. "DEE-STROY...DEE-STROY" I keep waiting for one of their parts to fall off. Edited by Trotsky, Nov 17 2013, 07:23 AM.

My SIL and two of my daughters convinced me to watch some of the shows, they were horrified to hear I had never watched any of them. So difficult to get anyone in their 20's to understand the concept of one channel - and that is not even showing my age, just where we lived when I was growing up. I liked some, others not so much, most likely a result of not knowing the back story. |
