Years ago BBCAmerica used to air the Tom Baker Doctor Who, now they only air the new series. Anyone remember the American Dr Who TV movie that premiered on Fox in the 90's? I think Eric Roberts played the villain. The studio tried to get a big name American actor to play the 8th Doctor, Tom Hanks was one of them and turned it down because he thought it should only be played by UK actors, the role went to Paul McGann. I know of it and plan to get that movie at some point to add to my Dr. Who collection. Been trying to get at least one storyline from each of the 11 Doctors. Got tons of Tom Baker :) Problem being though is that most of the Hartnell, Troughton and Pertwee episodes were lost or destroyed mostly by very poor BBC storage and retaining processes. I did find some Hartnell and Toughton dvds on Amazon so Im pretty happy. I think McGann is the only Doctor I dont have yet. |

Exterminate, Exterminate. Atleast they kept the Darleks. What do you think? Would a Darlek make a better lamp or a hat rack? I am still thinking of new ideas for my man cave.
 Do you know where I can get a good stoned Darlek? I like how Dr. Who brought all of his enemies together with the Pandoric.

Might be able to find some good Dalek stuff on Amazon or the BBC online store ;) |

Tom Baker is my favorite too, he was the doctor that introduced me to the series. Of the new Doctors, David Tennant is my favorite, but I'm enjoying Smith's version as well. Don't know if you heard, but Elisabeth Sladen who played Sarah Jane Smith passed away on the 19th of this month. My sentiments exactly. Loved the scarf and hat!

I always thought she and Romana (2) were the best companions for Tom Baker. Gonna miss her. I LOVED Ramona. She was HOT! I a serious crush on her.

Though he's not part of the official cannon, Peter Cushing played the Doctor in a couple of movies back in the 60's. |

I think it was the first ep when David Tennant became the Doctor and he went to look for clothes, and he went to the TARDIS closet, and he looked at Tom Baker's outfit, I thought it was a nice touch. |

Yup, for a minute there I thought they were going to bring it back. Had mixed feelings on that. But it certainly showed the admiration they had for him.

Just watched the Time Crash short on the season 4 DVD of the Titanic episode and seeing Peter Davidson and Tennent together was great. I also thought it very interesting that Tennents girlfriend is Davisons daughter.
All the more so because she played Tennents daughter (albeit only a genetic replica) in one of his episodes.... Now that is what I call keeping it in the family :D |

There's a great too short lived series called Freaks & Geeks, it's set in the early 80's. When a group of the geeks were going to a scifi convention, one of them dressed up as the Tom Baker Doctor Who.

Its the best show on TV right now. I think the new season is going to be great.

I think Matt Smith is absolutely terrific and I like the darker tone the show has taken on. But for me, Tom Baker was,is and ever shall be Dr. Who.
