Tom Baker Says...
If you are a fanatic of the vintage Doctor Who TV series like I am, you'll agree that Tom Baker (third regeneration) was the greatest ever. I'm prepared to debate the topic.
BillAnyhoo, the photo shown was a happy surprise as it came out of the photobooth. The hair, scarf, the nose - I've become the character. Amazing what hours of posing in front of a mirror with campy expressions can do.
TomA few years back British Telecom (BT) hired Tom Baker to basically read the dictionary aloud and record the audio. His voice is absolutely fabulous. So, BT cut the audio into individual words in order that BT customers could have Baker say whatever sentences they like. A fan set up a website, Tom Baker Says, for us to listen to some of the choice lines. The 'Full Metal Jacket' quotes in the movie section are my fave.
It took Baker 11 days to read the dictionary words aloud. I'd actually pay money to have an audio-dictionary by Tom Baker. Sadly BT's Baker message service got canned. You can also hear Baker's hilarious lines as the narrator of the British TV show 'Little Britain'.

Erm, sorry Torq, TB was the fourth doctor. And he was recently demoted by fans to second-best after the new guy David Tennant, who, let's face it, is pretty good. But I don't think he gets the number one spot just yet. Not by me; not by a long shot.
Keith,
Ah, but my position is that as the fourth doctor, Baker was the thire regeneration ( the first did not require regeneration ).
Have you been out-geeked?
