    I know, like I’ve loved David Tennant and Eccleston is probably my favourite, but when you say Doctor Who, Tom Baker is the first image that comes in to my head. He might not be my favourite but he is my Doctor.

    Weird how much he's grown to look like the 1st Doctor.

    He was my Doctor, though Tennant won me over eventually, so good in the role. Tom Baker though - I would always watch Dr Who before going out as a teenager and he was just amazing and the show so good even with the foam rubber special effects. Hair so different now but that smile is the same! He looks great for 91.

    God dammit Tom. Why’d you have to go and get old on us?

    Such a difference from the Curator, and that was, what? 13 years ago now?

    Gah! That musical score gets me every time. Great scene..

    Mr. Baker is totally wizzled, I mean he was 77 when that was filmed, and he's getting just like my grandparents did when they crept up on their 90's.

    You just shrink as you age.

    I am actually a little suprised he was not knighted already. Him as the 4th Doctor is so iconic. I bet you could show him dressed in that outfit to any adult anywhere in the world and they would probably know what or who he is

    Does that make him the first or second doctor to be so honored?

    Are we counting Peter Cushing, OBE?

    John Hurt (the War Doctor) has a CBE https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Hurt

    Also Wilf has an OBE https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernard_Cribbins

    If we're counting Peter Cushing, then actors from the curse of the deadly death should count.

    Rowan Atkinson has a CBE

    Joanna Lumley DBE FRGS
