Never the episode with the Dalek, which was scary, and more exiting with one, then DT managed with an army.
Or the one where Rose saved her dad, and he got mega pissed with her?
It rocked, there's a reason that RTD got him to play Jesus (which would make RTD God, which seems fair)
The ASDA of satire.
I hate purity, I hate goodness!I don't want any virtue to exist anywhere. I want everyone to be corrupt to the bones.
But it was all right, everything was all right, the struggle was finished. He had won the victory over himself. He loved Big Brother.

Ah, he was good enough. He just rubs me up the wrong way for some reason.
Perhaps Shallow Grave wasn't the best introduction to him. Specially being v. young at the time! He's a scary mofo.

That is true, he could loom over you with his enormous tallness, fix you with his stairy eyes, and poke you with his big nose.

I suspect he realsied that Dr Who is a bit of a grave for TV actors careers, much as I love the show, once you're there you're branded for life.

That's true, at least I can't think of anything to counter that.
Excluding Mr. Baker of course, who now does voice-overs.

That was the worst thing in the world, having it announced that he was leaving the show before the first episode was even shown.
Made me not want to bother watching. You can't exactly invest any emotion in him if you know he's already fucked off.

Yeh like Stephen Hawking, you just know he's gonna sit there and impersonate a Dalek, he doesn't even do stairs.
n.b. what about Stephen Hawking as Davros?

Watching Tom Baker at lunchtime, he's kinda special, and I want a Tardis so I can chat up Liz Sladen.
