    I don't always like narrations from the Doctor's perspective because they never feel as alien as him. Tom however, nails it in Scratchman. Every description makes it sound like you're inside the fourth Doctor's head.

    Ngl I can see Baker having a working knowledge of SJA, given how close he was with Sladen, and when writing a book starring her and specifically a scene depicting her future, I could see him reading up on the show for it Also if you haven't already, listen to the audiobook version of Scratchman. Baker reading it in his do alien yet so familiar voice is the definitive version

But if there is any Doctor Who writer that most successfully captured the style, tone, and overall sense of fun that the Graham Williams era had while also improving upon it and making it his own, it's Mr Roberts.

    Most of the Doctors were walking in the shoes of Troughton. He wasn't the first, but he was the first doctor to be a "madman with a box". I think Baker took what Troughton brought to the character and elevated it further. I think that Smith channeled that with 11 quite nicely, especially incorporating the darkness inherent in the character. I think that the 7th Doctor also tried to channel this energy, and was fairly successful most of the time. I get that 10 still the most popular Doctor of them all, and I think he probably deserves that even though he isn't personally my favorite. I would say he was an effective mix of Doctors 2, 4, 5 and 8 (mostly 8's darkness).

    5:49 LOL! 🤣 I've seen this episode twice in the past week, for I often go to bed with either *Doctor Who* or *MST3K* on my TV (via *Pluto TV* live stream). And you're absolutely right, *Graham Crowden's* performance is so. . . _kooky._ I keep wondering if he thought the show was for very young children (versus a family show). But as with such performances, I lay it all at the feet of the directors and producers. Because apparently they thought this was _just fine._ 🤣 And hey, I'm kind of glad we have it too! 😆 _"Lord Niiiiimon. It's meeee, Soldeed…"_ Before my experience this week with the *Horns of Nimon,* I really thought the pirate captain from *The Pirate Planet* earned the _over-the-top_ award. _"Mr. Fibuli!"_ 16:09 *_MAKE IT STOP!!!!_* 😫 And, ugh. . .yes, *The Invasion of Time.* 🙄 Everything you noted. As I continue to watch so many episodes, I was instantly annoyed at the 'misunderstanding predicament' which reared its truly ugly head virtually each and every time the *Doctor* first arrives somewhere. _"You murdered them!"_ _"You must have sabotaged the ship!"_ Speaking of things. . . I would have liked to have seen *Dylan Moran* as the *Doctor.* Although, I can pretent a bit as I watch *Black Books.*

    My Best and Worst 4th Doctor Stories. WORST 5: Terror Of The Zygons (An Utterly boring romp through a Scotland ending with a goodbye to an honesty forgettable companion.) 4: Destiny of the Daleks (Mostly Dull with the only saving graces being Lalla Wards performance and The 4th doctors interactions with Davros 3: Nightmare of Eden (An episode where you could tell Tom Baker didn’t get along with the director and a messy, unorganized story) 2: The Masque of Mandragora (Disappointment: The Episodes. Featuring a spotlight, A dick-ish Fourth Doctor, and a setting and concept that could’ve been so done with some improvement.) 1: The Armageddon Factor ( An episode that felt like someone was forced to finish a loose story arc and hadn’t see any of them up until the point of writing.) BEST 5: The Talons of Weng-Chiang (A Great gothic mystery with interesting characters and showing Tom Baker could play a decent Sherlock Homes. Brought down by some not good special effects, action scenes feeling like filler, and uncomfortable yellow face.) 4: The Foe from the Future (Same great gothic mystery, Interesting villain and settings and one of my favorite endings to a Doctor who stories.) 3: The Face of Evil ( To put it simply, Iconic. Iconic settings, Pretty cool concept, A great introduction to a classic companion, and has probably my favorite Fourth Doctor moment.) 2: Genesis of the Daleks (The go-to Fourth Doctor adventure. Giving the show’s most iconic villains a dark origin and a creator almost as sick as them was fantastic. Great performance from all of the cast and I can see why people say it’s the best Original Doctor Who episode.) 1: Scratchman ( A story that feels personal to Tom Baker and his past. A amazing, If surreal story with on point characters and setting with a unique monster for the Doctor to face. In the end, It’s what I think to be the perfect epilogue to the 4th Doctor time.) Comment what you think of my list.

    So I agree with everything you said here and you explained it well, except that-probably an actual hot take- _Nightmare of Eden_ is one of my favorite Tom Baker episodes. I just really enjoyed the plot. The Mandrels are terrible, but I've seen enough Classic Who to get past them. I see your faults with them but I guess I'd say of the "Doctor arrives on a ship" episodes, I think it's one of the better ones. Also, I must add, if anyone here read _Scratchman_ and enjoyed it, or didn’t yet, listen to the audiobook. I started reading it and had trouble staying interested, but once I started reading along to Baker's narration, I greatly enjoyed it. It's a great story for Four, and is better yet with Baker's voice.

    The real tragedy of _Revenge of the Cybermen_ is that they made Kevin Stoney wear that ridiculous mask that completely negated his acting talent. Yep, the actor who played Mavic Chen and Tobias Vaughn, two of the most captivating, entertaining villain performances in all of Doctor Who... and I'll bet you didn't even know he was _in_ Revenge of the Cybermen. Oh, and my favourite 4th Doctor story (and one of my favourite Doctor Who stories for that matter) is _The Ribos Operation._ Not because it's especially good, but because it's the story that I can always enjoy watching, no matter what mood I'm in. It's flawlessly adequate, low-effort fun, and it's the one I always come back to when I want to kill a couple of hours with some casual Doctor Who.

    I started off watching Josh Snares Doctor Who videos because I just stumbled across them and thought, "Eh, what the hell." Josh is quite funny and knows how to make comedic, entertaining stuff. Then I saw your vids being suggested and I gave them a try as well. Josh has dry wit and sarcasm but you seem to amplify it to the power of "Oh holy fuck!" leaving me almost passing out laughing, and grappling with my computer desk as if it's the 60s TARDIS console and "The 2nd Doctor" has just said, "Everybody hold tight, here we go!" 21:39 Is that really you? Holy crap, you're adorable... 😍😍😍😍😍 No. I won't take it back, not even if you totally trash Sylvester McCoy once I get round to watching his your "best and worst" of his 7th Doctor! But please... DON'T FREAK OUT! *_People find cars attractive/sexy that they'll never, ever get to ride (in)..._* 😏😏😏😏😏

    whos your favourite modern doctor? 9th is quite a bit like 7th but nowhere near as manipulative. 10th is a lot like 5th, the gentle pacifist who can be as ruthless as hell when needed. 11th claims great influence from 2nd (but many of his stories are missing) if you want the inhumanness of the doctor its 4th. but the best jump on is 3rd. Its in colour there are no more more missing stories and he had the best, most constant run of the classic doctors. or go right back to the beginning, first doctor, first story, An Unearthly Child, it is sooo worth it

    All your "worst" choices are stories I like with one exception but I'm glad you've dropped Robots Of Death - but your reasons for including it last time were objectively wrong. And you're wrong about Ribos Operation as well. It's hard to pick a "worst of" Tom but it would probably include Robot, Android Invasion, Invisible Enemy, Revenge of the Cybermen, and it would definitely have Underworld top of the list.
