  1. I upgraded my Tom Baker minifigure with a new hat, a long brown trenchcoat, and a lovely pair of blue trousers

  2. Here’s my customary May the 4th Doctor Who picture.

  3. Very belatedly watching the 1990 documentary “Hyperland” about hypertext, starring Douglas Adams (who wrote it) and Tom Baker. It originally aired on the BBC just as my husband and I were starting as undergraduate students at St Andrews. youtu.be/cyAQgK7BkA8 #TV #DouglasAdams #TomBaker #DoctorWho #Hypertext #Computing #History

    The second-best Doctor Who moment ever.
    (After snogging Mary Tamm behind K9.)

  5. 21st March 1981. In the shadow of the towering radio telescope, a body lies crumpled and broken. The curly-haired man, dressed in a burgundy coat and a ridiculously long scarf, is the Doctor, and he is dying.

    “It’s the end, but the moment has been prepared for…”

    You can keep your CGI firework displays. Forty-five years on, this is still the best regeneration.

  6. 70s Doctor Who had *excellent* alien jungle sets. One of the better aspects of "Planet of Evil".

    Way better than Star Trek TOS "Planet Hell". And better than using locations, which don't look alien enough. Great stuff!

  7. Happy 92nd birthday, #DoctorWho, #TomBaker!

  8. 🔴 Happy 92nd birthday to Tom Baker, the greatest Doctor Who! Watch him in a BBC interview when he was about to quit the role👇

  9. Jelly Babies all round — it’s Tom Baker’s birthday! Frankly, that alone should qualify as a public holiday.

  10. J'attaque la saison 12 de Doctor Who, ère classique. Avec forcément l'introduction du 4ème Docteur, incarné par l'inénarable Tom Baker, avec son chapeau, son épais manteau et son écharpe multicolore beaucoup trop longue.

    C'est le Docteur approprié pour ce milieu des années 70, en plein boom des cheveux longs et vêtements trop larges.

    Je n'ai vu pour le moment que le tout premier épisode (Robot). Je retrouve avec joie Sarah Jane Smith qui va passer un petit bout de temps avec le 4ème Docteur.

    En tout cas, j'aime beaucoup l'énergie qu'apporte Tom Baker, qui contraste avec le flegme très britannique de Jon Pertwee. Il va en tout sens, il parle fort aussi, avec sa voix si reconnaissable. Et il a déjà fait le truc de l'index qui frotte le bout du nez (Who noze ?).

    J'ai hâte de découvrir cette nouvelle ère en tout cas. Qui devrait nous emmener dans la dernière décennie de Doctor Who, les années 80.

  11. #tombaker Doctor Who is not necessarily the cure for old age nihilism, but sure helps pass the time.

  13. ⛔👨‍⚕️ #DOCTORWHO 🩺⛔ 🇬🇧 Met a guy named Jacques at the local cafe. He has agreed to teach us Português. He is going to make a house call 25 November 2025. He looks kinda like #TomBaker, that played the fourth #DrWho. #WhoAreYou? 🤔 #StoneHenge #DoctorWhoDay www.independent.co.uk/arts-enterta...

    Tardis appears at British land...

  14. Ark in Space

    Overall a great story, more ambitious than its budget allowed, packed with great sci-fi ideas, and of course one of the finest Tardis crews. If you only watch one Tom Baker story, this is a solid pick.

    Not that anyone should watch only one Tom Baker, there’s a reason he got 7 seasons.

    Seeing these pics of #BionicWoman #LindsayWagner in #London "lift" a #1970s #Mini reminds me of the time when I pushed a #BritishLeyland Mini around the #ArcDeTriomphe in #Paris when I was 7 years old. No, really! (OK, my grandmother helped.)

    We here at Radio Free Skaro Towers pride ourselves on our ability to shoehorn Canadian content into our discussion of a British institution, but prepare yourself for a megaton-level of maple syrup as we welcome fellow Canuck Graeme Burk with a look back at the 20th anniversary of modern Doctor Who and all the surrounding hoopla, broadcast machinery and piracy that surrounded it! Buckle up – it’s the trip of a lifetime!

    Did you know?

    #TomBaker’s #companion #Leela (played by #LouiseJameson) wore glasses in real life.

    The reason you see him grabbing her so much in action scenes is because she couldn’t see too well without her specs & kept bumping into things.

  23. In the last week we watched #DoctorWhoSurvival - the very last serial and the end of the #ClassicEra. Over 10 years my wife and I have collected the entire series (from '63 to '89) on DVD and watched them religiously in chronological order. Finishing it was emotional!

    And last night, we watched #DoctorWhoTheMovie - just to finally ice the cake and bid farewell 🫡

  24. Tom Baker may not love everything about Doctor Who, he certainly knows how to BE The Doctor.

    His cane is based on his sonic screwdriver - well, one of them - during his time on the show. Love the whole get up!

    I wanna wander around a nursing home looking like this muttering about my TARDIS suddenly deciding to fix it's own chameleon circuit and now I can't find it 😂

    Happy birthday, Tom.
