❤️❤️➕🧣 Since 2012, Big Finish has released dozens of full-cast audio dramas in the Fourth Doctor Adventures range, starring Tom Baker.
Returning to the role of the Doctor after a long absence, Tom Baker effortlessly recreates the trademark wit, wisdom and humour of his incarnation in a series of full-cast audiobooks. Paired with Leela (Louise Jameson), Romana I (Mary Tamm), Romana II (Lalla Ward) and K9 (John Leeson), it's a nostalgic trip back to the 1970s in stories designed to capture the distinctive flavour of the era.
Tom Baker in conversation with Big Finish's Paul Spragg in November 2013:
Without Doctor Who, you would (or would not)… what?
Oh, nothing without Doctor Who. It was the greatest and most positive thing to happen to me. Barry Letts and the others took me out to dinner and at the end Barry said, ‘So Tom, how do you see it? What are you going to do with it?’ Now, if I had not signed a contract, I would have done a big spiel but as I’d signed a contract and I was safe for a year - no one gets fired before they’ve even started! - I said, ‘I don’t know’, and it was true, I didn’t know. I couldn’t believe I had got it. He gave me the scripts, all of which, the first couple of years I was doing it, were written for Jon Pertwee. Pertwee stamped on it so hard that all the writers were used to writing for him so it was all sarcastic putdowns. And then I realised, as I was saying these lines the way I wanted to do them, everyone was falling around laughing. Then I realised - because I’m often slow to realise things - this is what I was born for. There was no acting about it. Everything about the character; being a benevolent alien, indeterminate age; he didn’t think like other people. Maybe he didn’t even walk like other people. You could do anything you wanted to as long as you didn’t break the trust of the audience. So without Doctor Who, well, I certainly wouldn’t be here. I might have actually been able to go into production; I don’t mean as a leading producer, but as a production assistant or something like that, but as an actor? Well, when I was at the National at the end of the Sixties, the place was absolutely teeming with talent. Derek Jacobi and Anthony Hopkins and Ron Pickup, all those people. Jeremy Brett. No chance of me really getting leading parts. And so I didn’t even get to play human beings; I think the first part I had was a horse…
What’s your one biggest Doctor Who memory?
I remember a man stopping me in Oxford Street once, looking at me with absolute incredulity; he couldn’t believe it. He said, ‘Tom Baker?’ A man in his late thirties. I said, ‘Yes’. He said, ‘Tom Baker?’ I said, ‘Yes!’ And he looked at me and in his brain he catapulted back in time and he said, ‘You know, when I was a boy, I was in a home for children; nobody wanted us, you know? It was terrible. And you made Saturday night good.’ And I went to say something to him and I could see him so close to tears that he couldn’t speak. And he shook his head as if to say, ‘Don’t go on, don’t remind me’ and he just did [a thumbs up]. Such a common thing, isn’t it, but suddenly backed up with an expression on his face through his tears that was a knighthood. It was a knighthood. Just thumbs up, meaning it was great, and thanks. It’s incredible, isn’t it? Just a gesture.
I have to remind myself this man is 90 and still carries the same charisma and energy as he did years ago. It's remarkable, really. Bless him, THE Doctor. Happy 90th birthday!
No he is THE Doctor the definite article you might say
Tom Baker was the one who started it all for me.
@@mikebasil4832same with me
Happy Birthday to Tom Baker. I hope that he understands how much his work on TV and with Big Finish means to many of us and how much love we have for him.
This video made me smile and maybe brought a little tear as well
Happy birthday Tom would you like a jelly baby 🎂
Fantastic Nostalgia. 4Ever The Best. Thank You Tom Baker Doctor Who 🫡
The man, the voice, my Doctor. Happy birthday.
Would you like a jelly baby?
💯
To Tom Baker, with so much love from Doctor Who fans all over the world we wish you a very Happy Birthday! ❤
My idiosyncratic favourite thing about this.
The underside of the TARDIS becoming the Diamond of the Logo.
That should absolutely be part of the TV title sequence - I demand a reshoot.
1:01 That synth gave me goosebumps, gosh. I feel like life has a meaning again after hearing it. Thank you, Big Finish!
Happy Birthday Tom, you are the ONLY Doctor!
Love you as much now, as when I was only a wee 6 year old boy.
❤❤❤❤❤
Tom, you are a fantastic Doctor and a fantastic person. the Whoniverse couldn't ask for a better Doctor.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
love, the whovians.
Bro, if the 4th doctor asked me to hop on the TARDIS, IM GOING STRAIGHT IN MAN
❤ There is NOTHING I wouldn't do for Tom Baker ...
Love him ❤❤❤
Happy 90th birthday Doctor! We love you tom baker
Happy Birthday, Tom! You're still my favourite Doctor!
After all the horrible bad feelings stirred up by the new series and Russell T Davies, isn't it lovely to see something so warm and inviting to the fans like this. Thank you Big Finish and thank you Tom, Happy Birthday ❤❤❤❤
I could not agree more, nice one Big Finish.
Tom, you will always be the Doctor and we love you❤❤❤❤❤❤
"Horrible bad feelings"?
You still are the doctor Tom
💯
And always will be.
Happy Birthday Tom! 🧣🥳
Happy Birthday Tom! The definite article!
Yes indeed!
Absolutely amazing 🤩
Happy 90th birthday to Tom Baker.
You always have been and will always be my favorite of all the Drs. in the series, Tom Baker!! Happy Belated Birthday to you!!!
Long live Tom Baker, he will always be the fourth doctor but Star Wars Rebels fans should also know him as the Bendu!
Happy birthday TOM!
Yep. Gonna cry now.
Tom's made of magic. He'll probably live forever.
Yes i think i known that since birth the He is The Doctor
happy birthday tom
That was awesome love the titles, and Tom is the Doctor, my Doctor you might be a Doctor but he's the genuine article as you could say...
Eponymous with Doctor Who since he stepped into the role... Curly hair, long scarf and jelly babies for the longest time was how generations of humans on planet Earth viewed "the Doctor". And as we have come to know and love - as much as Tom Baker was the Doctor, so too was the Doctor Tom Baker.
We are the blessed ones for Tom's everlasting presence in our hearts.
Synonymous I think you mean.
@@chrislawson8590 Yeah, probably.
Tom Baker a Living Legend!
Got to admire that Tom Baker has been still been on-going 4th Doctor in BF tales.
My late grandfather introduced me to Dr Who back in the 80s, the 4th doctor.
And just like that, I'm six years old again.
The man the myth the legend that is Tom Baker.
Happy 90th Birthday #tombaker! My first beloved #DoctorWho! ❤ My Favorite Doctor!
#scifi #fantasy #BBC
@Big Finish Productions, I Want To Hear The Stories Of Usagi When She Was Little Girl In The Late 70’s and Early 80’s And The Origins Of The Sailor Guardians Please
My first and still favorite Doctor. The saddest moment in my DW viewing history will always be Dr. 4 saying "It's the end But the moment has been prepared for." and seeing Tom Baker's face replaced by Peter Davison's face (no reflection on Mr. Davison).😢
That melancholy musical score didn't help matters either.
Many Happy Returns Doctor. From my K9 and Myself.😊
I can't believe they just revealed tom baker as the fourth doctor 😱
First: BIG FINISH ANIMATORS NEED A RAISE
Second: Happy 90th Birthday Tom!!!
Third: Does anyone know the song used in this?
The music is specially composed by the brilliant Howard Carter.
@@bigfinishprod Nice!!!
Can I find it anywhere besides this video?
Like in soundtracks or was it made just for the video?
Amazing video btw
@@bigfinishprodhello?
Oh, you might not respond, ah
I've gone a bit mad this month buying so many 4th Doctor adventures, and I don't regret it one bit!
I love Tom baker my all time favourite doctor and the best doctor of them all
DR. WHO....WE NEED YOU NOW...MORE THAN EVER🧣
Big finsh is better than the actual show now 😂
Oh this gave me chills! Happy Birthday to MY Doctor! Same day and year as my Mum too!
I would love to travel with the Fourth Doctor. He's a personal favorite.
I so wish I had all the Big Finish audios, especially these.
Happy birthday Tom ❤
Tom was my first Doctor on syndicated re-runs on OPB when I was a kid. Was so happy when it came back with Chris onward.
I know 👍
How many of you know that he had narrated the opening of Little Britain? He is my favorite doctor, by far.
I’d been ill so behind on my RUclips posts when I realized it was Tom Baker’s birthday. Then it occurred to me perhaps I wasn’t behind, Time is such a funny thing…maybe this Happy Birthday wish will actually be EARLY! Happy Birthday Mr. Baker, one of my favorite Doctors. 🥳
Release 'Torchwood: Absent Friends'
A Happy belated Birthday, Tom. You were The Doctor when I was born and still are now. Always the best. Eternal thanks and blessings for all. The joy you have given. Thank you ❤
Belated happy birthday to Tom Baker. Thank you for sharing your magnificent talent and genius. You bring unique verve to every role you personify.
I shit myself for a minute. I thought something bad had happened to Tom
I can't believe you didn't know it is his birthday.
Happy 90th birthday, Tom Baker,
a.k.a. Doctor Who, (* 4th Doctor, ©'74 - '84 ?)
Jan. 20
Until he dies and you just recast him...
In a heartbeat
My Doctor.
An adventure of a lifetime! Still watching!!!
This compared to the "modern day" degenerate, warped, and decimated version of the franchise. TRUE fans WILL keep it alive one way or another.❤
"True" fans will keep it alive by whining in the comments of a company who obviously completely supports the current stuff apparently
Tom Baker is The Doctor. Now and forever.
the funny thing about the Doctor .. he is a imortal time lord but he only seems to live a few years(between regenerations ).. or now ("BIGENERATIONS"😅) so there should have been 100's(x2)or 1000's(x2) of Doctors ?
Can't wait to see how many doctors they do
yes we know who you are
What should I buy to celebrate?
Better than the rubbish RTD is writing these days.
Where were you in 2005 LMAO
And is this "rubbish" in the room with us now?
I take it your happy with the drivel maquerading as Dr Who these days. Low standards I suppose@@DrWhoFanJ
@@TheEmptyHandedIgnoring burping wheelie bins, talking paving slabs and farting aliens. You probably thought that was good sci-fi...😂
@@RichArd-vc5jp I take it you’re happy with your speaking ungrammatical, misspelling-ridden nonsense given that is the sole content of your response.
ура новые приключения четвёртого доктора
The Fourth Doctor will fight the dictators...
is he the fourth doctor though...?
i kinda think you guys are lying...
