Am I to believe everyone knows who is or can remember some of his faces? The greatest TV show ever made!

Well you already know what my answer to that is *lol*
Tom Baker! ;D
And, well... I guess there's nothing left to say but... "exterminate, exterminate!"
You know that's what I need, a little animated gif of a Dalek, how cute *lmao* Or a little pic of one at least, so if I feel peeved off for some reason I can put it up and say "I gotta do this to you! Extermiate!"

I had the scarf!! LOL!!!! yeah.. Tom Baker IS the Dr... www.bbc.co.uk/cult/doctorwho/doctors/doctor4.shtmlThe Fourth Doctor 1974-1981 "There's no point in being grown up if you can't be childish sometimes." The Doctor (Robot, 1974/5) It was a fatal dose of blue radiation from the cave of the arachnid Great One on the planet Metebelis 3 that caused the Doctor to change his form once more. The Doctor had to face his fear and in doing so sacrificed his life for the oppressed people of Metebelis. Thanks to the timely assistance of another Time Lord, K'anpo, the Doctor regenerated once more and was soon to break his ties with UNIT and the Earth and once more become a traveller in time and space. The new Doctor seemed even more alien than before. He had a quirky dress sense and favoured a wide-brimmed felt hat, a comfortable and voluminous coat with virtually bottomless pockets and an unfeasibly long multi-coloured scarf. With the Doctor's exile to Earth being lifted by the Time Lords part-way through his third incarnation, this new Doctor was able to travel once more and viewed the many worlds he visited with an aloof, almost Olympian, detachment. If there was evil to be fought then he would fight it, but he treated the deaths of individuals as necessary to the greater good. He could be cold and impersonal, but the next moment brimming with enthusiasm for the life of a daisy. He disarmed opponents with wit, a smile, and, as with the second Doctor, an ability to hide his intelligence. It was those he opposed who took him for a fool that were easiest to defeat. Some however, like Davros, creator of the Daleks, never underestimated the Time Lord and yet still found him elusive and difficult to trap and destroy. This incarnation of the Doctor took his TARDIS to the edges of the Universe in a never-ending search for information and excitement. Millions of viewers travelled with him also, making this Doctor's era the most popular in the programme's history. |

Patrick Troughton is my favourite Doc, his other best performance came as the Priest in the first Omen movie. "Our lives are different to anyone else's. That's the exciting thing. Nobody in the universe can do what we're doing." The Doctor (The Tomb of the Cybermen, 1967) It was towards the end of the Doctor's first battle against the dreaded silver Cybermen that the Time Lord collapsed, seemingly from exhaustion. 'This old body of mine is wearing a bit thin,' he muttered before stumbling back to the TARDIS where, before the amazed eyes of his two companions, Ben and Polly, his face blurred and changed, the elderly features giving way to those of a far younger man. The second incarnation of the Doctor came as much a shock to his companions as to the viewing audience. Gone was the elderly and dignified statesman and in came a clownish, unpredictable figure with a sense of the absurd about him. 'What have you done to BBC1's Dr.Who,' cried Mrs Estelle Hawken in the Radio Times. 'Of all the stupid nonsense! Why turn a wonderful series into what looked like Coco the Clown?' However this was perhaps a minority view and before long the BBC's listings magazine was printing letters of praise. The second Doctor could be impish, fun-loving and devious, always ready to pull out a recorder and tootle a tune, or to act the idiot in order to gain the upper hand against his enemies. Appearances can be deceptive, however, and the Doctor's skill with words and manipulation was still very much in evidence. This Doctor actively encouraged his foes to underestimate him and played this card to his greatest advantage. He was also a master impersonator, and loved dressing in a number of disguises over the course of his adventures. These included an old washerwoman, a Redcoat, various soldiers, army officials and indeed any persona that would allow him to continue his fight against evil. As he said to his friends during a battle against the Cybermen on the Moon, 'There are some corners of the universe which have bred the most terrible things … They must be fought.' www.geocities.com/wonderfully_wendy |
