I was given a jelly baby by Tom Baker at the age of 9, at a book signing he did at Martin's bookshop/newsagents in St.Helens, not too long after he became the Doctor. Still have the autographed book. Lovely fella. All the kids were in awe of him.
That is amazing!
That is fantastic.
I thought you were going to say you still had the jelly baby lol
Everyone adores him fans old and new
My fav Doctor of alll time
"You're a classic example of the inverse ratio between the size of the mouth and the size of the brain."
Tom Baker will always be the greatest.
The jump rope scene was SO well choreographed between the two actors.
My favorite as well. The look on Ian Marter's face as he and Tom Baker do the scene is one of shock.
I would literally SPRINT home from the school bus stop at the end of our street every afternoon as a 70s kid, just to catch that thrilling opening theme.
This is my Doctor!
I got sent a postcard from Tom Baker when I was a kid in the 90s. I'm autistic and back then Doctor Who was the entire centre of my life. I was sad because he was doing a promo event in London that I couldn't get to so my mum called up and asked if they could send something. She meant some of their promo stuff that thry were selling but they told him I wanted to come so he sent me a postcard to say that he was sorry I couldn't come. I still have it in a frame on my wall! Years later, I got to meet him but I was too nervous to tell him I was the same person. Really lovely guy who appreciates and looks after his fans.
Tom Baker was and always will be the Quintessential doctor Who. He was MY Doctor Who, and I feel very fortunate to have shared that series on PBS with my Dad. Good times, good times.
You are telling my exact experience, but it was with my mom. One of the greatest experiences of my life included a weekend at a Doctor Who convention. There was a lunch with a small group of us, and were last to make it into and they led us to the last empty table. When Tom came in he sat down one chair from me. I was over the moon with excitement. Talk about about making a young girls dream come true. Very good time. So grateful for that experience. 🙏🏼🥳
There are no other Doctors. Tom Baker shall be THE doctor. He says so at 0:18.
@@heatherhughes2955 Are you American? Didn't realize the old series was shown there, let alone popular.
@@jimnewcombe7584I'm American, live in America and Tom is "The Doctor" to me and always will be.......and yes....I have watched other Doctors but Tom Baker is in a different league for me. Legendary portrayal!
I was blessed to have the 4th Doctor as my first. Thanx to American Public Television.
Nice same here too
I got three episodes of the 3rd Doctor John Pertwee, then Tom Baker. PBS was the only way to watch Doctor Who back then.
@@atomicknight63 yup! I hear ya. Its amazing what you can find now. I remember scheduling stuff around my favorite shows or specials. If you missed it, you'd never know if or when you'd have a chance to see it.
Same here to.P.B.S back in the 80s.i seen the second doctor once or twice after Tom baker but there's only one doctor.
@@buckster2575 nice. Yeah, l mean I wasn't a huge PBS fan back then, but there was this kinda empty time. One day I was just checking different channels and I found it!
Little did Tom Baker realize, he created a future Doctor himself
Tom MADE my childhood!
Expanded my conscience.
Golden Era without doubt
"oh look.....rocks!". The gravel pit. He's the one and only and best!!!!
Genesis of the Daleks has some cracking dialogue. My favorite is in episode 3 when he goes up to the Thal guards and says "excuse me, can you help me? I'm a spy" then knocks them out.
I agree. I think that Genesis of the Daleks is a masterpiece. One of the best of all time with awesome writing.
I love how the jelly baby is such an iconic part of Tom Baker, that Paul Mcgann and Peter Capaldi also offered Jelly babies to others as well (funny how it was every 4th doctor) and Matt Smith reusing Baker's line "Would you like a jelly baby?" as the flesh in "The almost People"
One of my favorites from The Face of Evil; "Answers are easy. It's asking the right questions that is hard."
What's the point of growing up if you can't be childish sometimes
My favorite line. I have used it myself many times.
@@atomicknight63 cool 😎
The GOAT. Not only as the Doctor, but as one of the greatest heroes in all of fiction.
When Tom Baker passes away someone had better put a paper bag full of Jelly babies in his casket.
I say we declare a national day of mourning
Tom Baker won't pass away! He just regenerate.
@@mitros4 and anyway he has a century more to live
All of the above
@@ladycplum Agreed, he’s a national treasure.
♥️ Tom Baker. He was and will always be my favourite Doctor. My second favourite was the lovely Jon Pertwee, who I also loved as Worzel Gummidge.
i encountered this doctor at a time of unrest with my father and,searching for a father figure,i imprinted on this doctor as,well,a role model thankfully my dad and i made peace,but to this day, some 40 long years later,many of my responses and social interactions definately reflect this brilliant character and it has served me well
"Your name"
"What about it?
"It's too long! By the time I've called out Ro...Rom..."
"Romanadvoratrelundar!"
"By the time I've called that you could be dead! We'll call you Romana"
"I don't like Romana"
"It's either Romana or Fred!"
"Oh, I like Fred, let's go with that"
"Right, then it's settled. Now come on Romana!"
I think his speech at the decieders about their lies in full circle is another demonstration of bakers top class acting and beats the definite article scene out of the park
Sarah Jane: *Crying over the Doctor*
Doctor: You're soaking my shirt
In "The Brain of Morbious"
(Just watched it last night on Pluto TV!)
"You thought I was dead. You're always making that mistake"
😁
Tom Baker imitated but never duplicated
Tom Baker was, is, and ALWAYS will be the greatest Dr. Who...
Tom baker was my doctor, born in 92 nut grew up watching this doctor cause my dad loved him most. He's the best ever
"You know the very powerful and the very stupid have one thing in common. They don't alter their views to fit the facts, they alter the facts to fit their views. Which can be uncomfortable if you happen to be one of the facts that needs altering."
He then ducks before he's shot in the back by someone under the influence of a mad computer that believes it's the Doctor and sees the fourth Doctor as a threat to that delusion.
"You know, I really think you might..." = Instant goosebumps
My favorite moment from "The Brain of Morbious"
(Watched it last night on Pluto TV!)
Solan opens the door of his castle fortress during a pouring rain. The Doctor and Sarah stand there getting drenched. The Doctor holding broken umbrella.
"Could I trouble you for a glass of water?" - The Doctor
Tom Baker as doctor who was basically
Curly hair, long scarf, witty lines, bit of silliness maybe and... Jelly babies!
Also, I love jelly babies!!!
"Harry Sullivan is an imbecile!" - The Doctor (Tom Baker)
Should be an Emmy, Golden Globe, & Oscar WINNER!
Those eyes 0_0 express so much xD
Loved him as Puddleglum in The Silver Chair.
I saw him in that before I was introduced to his Wonderful Take on The Doctor!!!!
The story leaves a lot to be desired overall, but The Invasion of Time provides one of my favorite 4th Doctor (and Doctor Who) quotes ever.
Andred (referring to the matrix): You now have access to the greatest source of knowledge in the universe.
Doctor: Yes, I do talk to myself sometimes...
I am a relaively new Doctor fan, starting in 2012, and my current favourite Doctor is Matt Smith's, but my all time favourite will always be Tom Baker, he is The quintessential Doctor, the definitive article, you might say
I grew up with this guy on PBS in the late 70's and early 80's. I haven't seen it since.
Would you like a Jelly baby?
Yes please.
Orange... please.
Yes please. And a dozen top 10 spinoff lists please
Yes Blackbury
Another top 4th Doctor moment is during his 1st term as Lord President of Gallifrey. He finds the Key of Rasillon, which no other President has been able to do.
"You're a beautiful woman. Probably."
Nothing says you're a centuries old alien like that line!
I'll tell you why Tom Baker is the greatest Doctor ever. When I'm having a bad day and want to improve my mood, I reach for a classic Doctor Who DVD(or Monty Python, Little Britain, etc..etc..). And almost every time it's from the Tom Baker era. Tom's presence and voice can't be beat. I do enjoy other Doctors. Jon Pertwee has some of the best stories. The writing was great during that time period. But Tom Baker just became that character better than anyone else. Probably because he was just playing himself. He's quite quirky and eccentric in real life. Playing an alien came quite natural to him. I really don't think anyone will ever come close to reaching the excellence of Tom Baker in the role.
On the issue of Timelords involving themselves with other races, the fourth doctor says there was one world they shared knowledge with a primitive species. ''They built, split the atom, invented the electric toothbrush and then split the planet''. after that episode the timelords decided involvement with other species is too dangerous to continue.
Robot and City of Death are two of my favorite episodes. Tom Baker in top form. There is a madness to his method! And I do miss our beloved Sarah Jane.
When it comes to Dr Who, there is Tom Baker and the others.
The cliffhanger/resolution in Pirate Planet episodes 3-4 is incredible, one of the best from a 60-year old show replete with them. Then again, you could easily fill one of these Top 10 Tom Baker moments list with clips from the three Douglas Adams shows...
Tom Baker is indeed the definitive article.
Creature from the pit the best line "How big is it? it's huge really huge"😂😂
The Doctor: "Appreciate it... appreciate it! You commit mass destruction and murder on a scale that's almost inconceivable and you ask me to appreciate it? Just because you happen to have made a brilliantly-conceived toy out of the mummified remains of planets?"
The Captain: "Devil storms Doctor... It is not a toy!"
The Doctor: "Then what's it for!? Huh? What are you doing? What could possibly be worth all this?"
The moment he called Sarah Jane his best friend is the best, even more when you consider it was Tom Baker that improvised it.
The 4th Doctor was my first taste of the show. It was around 1991 (I was maybe 10) and I stumbled upon the show on PBS. It was late at night and I had never seen anything like it. It was a sort of a revelation. I was so mesmerized by the late 70's special effects and the complete bizarreness of it all. I almost thought I was dreaming. The only way to watch back then in the US was on PBS late night. Very special memory to me, and the 4th Doctor will always be my Doctor.
Likewise! My dad would videotape it since it was too late for me to stay up and watch. I think it came on at 11:30. First thing I would do was wake up and watch it early in the morning
Sarah-Jane is the favorite of several generations.
She's the only companion whom I know. I watched the _Robot_ series in early-1975 when I was going on nineteen years-old then life and work ramped-up and I didn't see Doctor Who again until late-2021 on BritBox. I remembered scenes from _Robot_ like I'd watched only yesterday. Then I learned that dear Elizabeth Sladen had passed away and that filled me with sorrow. Watching Doctor Who again, I went back in time and I'm older now, Tom Baker as Doctor Who is young again and Sarah Jane is no longer with us. What a bitter, melancholy pill to have to take.
Doctor who is like Star Wars or Trek; people are divided among the original material and reboots or sequels that came much later. I'll always be a class DW fan, especially for the Tom Baker era
^We were just passing your charming little planet... and we thought we would just pop in"
I wish they included a scene from Stones of Blood when he and Romana ended up at Stonehenge!
Now i understand where capaldi got his Doctor Theme inspiration
There's a theory in Who Fandom, that first actor you see to play the Doctor usually turns out to be your favorite. I saw Patrick Throton and Jo Perwee before Tom Baker but none seem to compare with him.
It's hard to make a top 10 like this because the 4th Doctor is usually brilliant every other line (ignoring his final season). Moments I'd love to also point out is when a guy tells him to turn around and he does a full 360°, and the line "you're a classic example of the inverse ratio between the size of the mouth and the size of the brain".
I remember several moments where the Doctor was being very sympathetic and trying to help someone whom everyone assumed was just evil. I think I remember one with a budding AI who didn't quite understand what it was yet. Or one where an alien was killing and he tried to understand if it was simply hungry and if there could be a peaceful solution. Or when he's understandably angry at someone's blatant disregard for life. I think those are his best moments.
Doctor: "Appreciate it? APPRECIATE IT? That you could commit mass destruction and murder on a scale that's almost inconceivable and you ask me to APPRECIATE IT? Just because you happen to have made a brilliantly conceived toy off of the mummified remains of planets!"
Angry dude: TERRIBLE STORMS, DOCTOR! IT IS NOT A TOY!"
Doctor: "THEN WHAT'S IT FOR? Huh!? What are you doing!? What could possibly be worth all this?" 😢
This is my First Experience to Doctor Who at 3 years old and I loved him since
My introduction to Doctor Who was "Horror at Fang Rock" and was instantly hooked--i recently found out that that particular story debuted September 6, 1977 which also happens to be my birthday 🎂😋 *weird*
Fang Rock is a favorite of mine, despite no TARDIS, no time travel, and never leaving one set... just pure Tom Baker doing his thing and making it work. That's talent.
@@bdo7765 yes! He was alot more dark and moody in this episode--it added a Gothic-tone that really (and still does) appeal to me! 😄
@@bdo7765 And Leela in a fisherman's sweater (bless my bisexual heart!)
Make the Top 10 Third Doctor Moments (Jon Pertwee) PLEASEEE!!!
Doctor Who at its absolute top.
His hair alone is so glorious. Always did love a good head of hair on a man. Oh well.
His hair, his smile, his voice....
Sorry lost my train of thought
I remember an episode where a strange helmet was strapped to his head and he told his captors "you can't leave this on my head...IT GOES FRIZZY!!!" 🤣🤣🤣--i still think about that line whenever I am about to put on a hat
i fucking love tom baker when all is uncertain he makes me feel good
On revenge of the cybermen, when he uses a cybermat to kill a cyberman, as he's leaving he stops to turn and make a speech "Dusty Death...." lmfao
7:35 I would not be surprised if the doctor was genuinely complementing the violent Ness of the butler. He has a habit of complementing, and being excited by things that would normally scare humans.
"What's the name of the tribe here?" "Cockneys."
There's Robots of Death, the Doctor says to another man he's "the inverse ratio between the size the mouth and the size of the brain", to paraphrase Tom Baker!
The 4th doctor is my favorite classic doctor
THE Dr - It was great to have Tom Baker narrate Little Britain too
My two favorites. 1 Tom Baker. 2 Matt Smith.
Good choices
My 3 favorites. 3 Matt Smith, 2 Tom Baker, and 1 Peter Davison.
i feel scratchman should be on this list if read it, it is a blast a doctor who story written by tom baker and the audio book is read by him to giving it a real punch
Tom Baker was the best Doctor.
I would of loved to see the curator offer a jelly baby to the doctor. It would of been great.
He was my first dr and best one .. got his DVD
I like The Fourth Doctor
He was THE doctor
Not to put too fine a point on that, but the 4th. Doctor covered most of it..
Tom Baker is the true and only doctor .
I bought a jump rope a few years ago. I was surprised how hard it is. I’m 40 now but this was like 5 years ago and I simply couldn’t do it.
i love tom baker.
Tom baker is great as the priest in the she devil. He is among the funniest people on earth but he can also play very dramatic roles with realism.
In the indomitable clip, I swear, I thought that was David Tenant 🥹
For those of us of a certain age, Tom Baker is the ONLY Doctor. All others are mere pretenders to the throne.
William Hartnell is the original, though. The first one and the one who started it all.
@@Marcellacampa1 atheist is talking about those growing up in the 70's and 80's we didnt have the internet or dvds (or vhs) at that time (and in Australia at least) not reruns either Tom WAS the doctor!!
Do 1 of the 5th docotr please
Don't you just mean Top Ten Doctor Who Moments?
Something missing on this list...
the final scene of "Shada" .................while the Curator is great.....Shada is epic
Shada is at least Tom as the Fourth Doctor. The Curator is (possibly) a future Doctor.
The 4th doctor is my favorite,I actually know Tom Baker,I promise I'm not making that up,I have a signed sonic screwdriver.
My favorite Doctor!!!!!
I need to find that scarf. :)
They sell copies on ebay or Amazon... ;-)
Mine is being made by my girlfriend, it’s going to be 100% tv accurate, I’m so excited, I’ll have it for Christmas
I discovered Dr Who during his tenure so Tom Baker will always be THE Doctor. I was in college.
Tom Baker is a magical actor: visceral, intelligent, bloody funny...
The best of the Doctors.
I think I'm entering a Dr. Who phase and Tubi has classic episodes BEFORE The 9th Doctor. I hear the 4th Doctor was the best of them all.
Why not do the top 10 moments of the Sixth Doctor? That would be cool
The 6th doctor was not very popular
@@missyadams shut Up
My favorite Doctor !!!🎉🎉❤
Happy birthday Tom Baker.
Four and Sarah Jane's farewell reminds me a little bit of 13 & Clara's.
What
Canadian Doctor Who 2005- Fan
yeah im a fan of the 10th doctor and also the third one from classic who.
Great hair.
i concur.
I didn't like all the story lines but Matt Smith was mine, he had the ability to be quite dark at times.
Please do top 10 doctor who spaceships
Not to be pedantic, but does his appearance in Day of the Doctor really count as a Fourth Doctor moment?
