@Natasha_Jay Not only one of the best Doctors, but also (to a rollercoaster fan) The Voice Of Nemesis. Bless him!

I bumped in to Tom a few years ago. I didn’t want intrude as he perused the wine selection in Waitrose but I knew I’d always regret not saying anything. So, politely and discretely I asked, “Excuse me, I don’t mean to bother you but…you do look a lot like Tom Baker.”
He leaned toward me and said, with that smile and a twinkle in his eye: “I used to be!”
Never meet your heroes. Unless they’re The Doctor. -

Tom Baker is my Doctor Who and the one guy i call creepy Who. he always freaked me out. took me decades, and #10, before i could finally enjoy the show.

@Natasha_Jay when I was a very wee boy and Tom was the Doctor, he signed my Doctor Who novels in a bookshop. Twenty five years later I got to host him in a theatre for his autobiography tour. My inner ten year old was very, very happy!

@blogdiva
Yes, but I found him fine, if deliberately weird.The guy after him, Peter Davidson, felt very bland.
Now Daleks, they literally gave me nightmares as a kid.

@Natasha_Jay Oh geez, that's the kind of thing where I'd just instinctively put my arms out and give the guy a big hug. Thumbs up just wouldn't do...
