I met Tom Baker in the late seventies and he was the perfect gentleman. He was signing books while wearing the Who costume in the height of the Australian summer. He was sweating profusely in the heat while wearing heavy wool, but he soldiered on and was kind and patient with the fans. I'll never forget that day and his characterization will always be the definitive WHO for me.

This is just “my take” of Tom Baker, whom I don’t know: Tom’s a master of revealing just enough of himself to never be pinned down. One feels they know him, without anyone (but perhaps those closest to him) really knowing him. A social escape artist (at least as a public figure) to the hilt. Very healthy boundaries. He found a way to keep his private life private, and for everyone to love him, and love his good natured charm and winking mysteriousness. As a fan, I say good for him!

so happy he mentioned Jeremy Brett - my friend and mentor, the reason I became an actor. When Jeremy was in my home he spoke highly of doing Shakespeare with Tom and was thrilled to find out Tom's Doctor was basically the one Americans knew the best (at that time)

He's the definitive doctor of the classic era , just like David is the definitive doctor of the revival. Both fantastic actors and two fantastically different and equally fitting performances.

You got to love Tom for that twinkle in his eye, his humour, and just how damn quick he is mentally at his age.

I buy only the Tom Baker audio adventures from Big Finish and have roughly forty plus CDs. His booming voice and sense of humor always bring me back to the 1970s and early 80s as if he's never left the TARDIS. The radio shows, as I like to call them, are a cosmic window to the theater of the mind. And, yes, Tom's my favorite incarnation too.

"Let's say I'm optimistic about MY future, but I can't commit myself for humanity... they can be very, *very* ungrateful". This quote NEEDS to be included in one of Tom's future BF stories, if not on the series itself.

I would love it if Tom baker teamed up with. Tim Trelor the 3rd & 4th Doctor, in a 4 disc event with the origional unit master and cyber man

My Doctor ,the First Doctor i ever watched, And the only Actor to play the role for 7 Years , most only Play the role for 3 to 4 years , but for me he is the Doctor. Brililant

I completely believe that Tom sometimes walks through his house in his old costume. In fact, I think chances are quite likely Tennant does the same thing. And then there is of course good old JB who preforms a strip act in his Doctor Who costume. I've never seen something like that before and personally, one time was enough.

My favorite Tom Baker moment was an interview where he was talking about someone who had passed away and he just dropped "He's dead now you know"

I adore the way Tom ends this interview. After Nick says "Let's get back to the TARDIS", Tom's response is just so magical. "Yes...yes, let's do that. Goodbye."

I have never wanted to be an old man more than seeing Tom there. I just want to be Tom so bad! Imagine the stories he has, the loving fans. The word is his oyster.

I grew up watching Doctor Who and Tom Baker will always be my doctor. Forty years ago my mom and I saw him at a convention. We went to a lunch where he was to be in the same room. We got there last and there was only one table left. They said you can sit here. In walks Tom and sits down next to me. I never took one bite. I could not believe my luck. He was very humble and could not believe that we had come all the way from Oklahoma, just to see him. Later on that day he was out by the pool and we got to take pictures and I have a picture of me and Doctor who! Such an awesome experience.

I'm sure he stated quite dismissively in some other interview he hadn't any of the Dr's costume, he doesn't let the truth get in the way of a good yarn tho hehe (and we love him for it)

What I wouldn't give to meet Tom Baker. I've remember being a little boy in the 80s and my dad watching doctor who. I'm now 36 years old and have been a fan of Doctor Who my entire life.

90 today. Happy birthday Tom.🎉

What an absolute legend Tom Baker is and Nicholas Briggs too. The work you have out in for Big Finish and the main show deserves recognition.

When I was about 5 years old living in New York we didn’t have cable for a bit so maybe a few channels is all we had. Some of my first television watching memories was watching him as the doctor... I was transfixed by him! In a way it ruined cartoons after because I felt I had evolved beyond the cartoon... Tom will always be my Doctor!

when Tom Baker dies I shall be heartbroken. Same with David Attenborough. 2 men who meant so much to me as a kid growing up. One to do with fantasy and adventure and the other to do with science and natural history. I shall be lost without them.

This man was and IS soooo loved as a Doctor. The kids adored him, I adore him. And he's still kicking it even at this advanced age.

i would love to meet him again. he’s just so nice

Instantly hitting like before the video started just because it's Tom Baker!

Tom Baker isn’t just the Doctor, the Doctor is Tom Baker.

I can't believe he is that age. In the early 80's when I discovered Doctor Who I fell in love with him. Now that I'm 52 and know he is 86 and my mother is a mere 79 and my father would have been 80. It's kind of weird that I had a crush on someone older than my own parents.

Instant pick-me-up. Mr. Baker's my Doctor. I like the others just fine, but he's the one who comes to mind when I hear about the show. He's just wonderful.

I was just a young lad when I started watching Doctor Who. When someone asks me Who is Doctor Who? I immediately think of Tom Baker.He is Doctor Who!

He was the first Doctor I watched, on PBS stations here in New Hampshire in the US. Totally thrilled when he showed up as the Curator!

I saw him walking down Wardour Street in 2010 wearing his Dr Who hat. Marvellous looking fellow and obviously was the best player of the role to me.
