Just this weekend I was at a friends house who has been resistant to Doctor Who for years but has slowly started to come around due to me showing him the first Hartnell episode and the Eccleston's series. He instant watched The Pyramids of Mars from his Netflix account and loved it. He about laughed his ass off at Baker's hamming it up and is probably going to start queing up more classic who.


I really love hearing of new fans who can look past the shatty effects of the original Who!

I love Jon Pertwee as the Doctor but only Day of the Daleks holds up I feel!

Whereas Tom Baker, we have Pyramids, Robots of Death, Deadly Assassin, City of Death and Talons of Weng Chiang & Geneisis(though for new fans I thing they could have been 4 parters) that are still really enjoyable for new fans!

Your point about your friend enjoying watching Baker romp around is what I was trying to explain to Ray Man - my inability, not Ray mans lack of understanding!

Just watching Tombo was fun! I was five years old when I started watching Who, yet I didn;t have the foggiest what was going on, other than the tall, bug eyed, big teeth, curly haired weirdo travelling around in a box that was bigger on the inside!

Talking of Blessed, they've got him commentating on one of those crazy japanese stunt shows - I don't even watch the thing, I just listen!


ps. We have a comedy current affairs program that's been runningnigh on 20 years, the regular present left about 5 years ago after fucking some hooker! So they've had guest presenters ever since! The best ever...., A draw between Tom Baker and Brian Blessed!

Me No Rikey Rob, he's a banana queer!

I shit on Hogan!
