I still think there will never be a Dr. Who as good as Tom Baker

I still think there will never be a Dr. Who as good as Tom Baker I think the best doctor was Jon Pertwee, The stories with him on Earth were rather good. Although, The seven parts ones were too long. I would agreed that Tom Baker was good has well. i think the new series is ok, but the format of one episode does not work. Not enough story development in the villians, and not enough terror. It seems too rushed in my opinion.

LOL....someone else agrees with me....wooo hoo.....but I mean at least here in the states when i have watched Dr. Wgo on PBS they show nothing but Tom Baker it seems 90% of the time.....rarely do you see any of the other ones.....and he definitely did make the long scarf famous....those have sold for thousands at auctions.....

Oh... OK, so he was the most popular Doctor - not that I was one of his fans. LOL
Anyway, the reason you mostly just know Tom Baker, Wolf (and that's why he probably became so popular) is because the studio who bought the episodes with him, decided NOT to confuse the American mind by showing the audience that there are more than one of him... and why...

If you saw the Peter Davison episode then it couldn't have been a Tom Baker rerun. And my husband is an avid watcher every Sat. morning - they show one episode after another. ;D

I just assumed that they must have shown the Tom Baker ones just before.
The old episodes are funny - wobbly sets, plastic monsters but I guess they were charming in their way but don't sit well with a 21st century audience.
I think that's why it's changed and why it works so well. My kids ran around pretending to exterminate the cat last weekend so it definitely hits a chord with them.

LOL Isn't it great when a programme is that old and yet your own kids still love it? ;D I never was much of a Dr. Who fan - as I said before, the 7th Doctor, Sylvester McCoy, was the one I watched mostly and therefore he is my favourite. But watching the new Dr. Who series, it looks like nothing much has changed - except the graphics are better. The same boring assistant who could be played by anyone, and the same enthusiastic Doctor, saving the world. LOL

Rose may be your typical assistant but I am rather partial to Captain Jack
