Yeah ok, so I'm a old fart, and a Sci-Fi fan, who engages in a little day to day cosplay..... You're can tell by my profile picture

Last night, an amazing, creative, generous young friend of mine, surprised me after the show, to hang this around my neck.

Tom Baker is MY first Doctor.

I've wanted this scarf, all my life.

I might very well be wearing it, over my pj's, as I compose this post.

As much as I hate being old, I am so grateful that my personal time-stream lined up with Tom Baker's, and that I got to watch him in Doctor Who on Saturday nights in the 1970s.

Yes, today I can stream the same episodes, mega-restored in ultra-high-def whatever, but I'd much rather be watching at my Nan's house, sitting impatiently through the Grandstand teleprinter and Basil Brush's interminable jokes...

Happy Birthday, Tom, and thanks for the wonderful memories.

Tom Baker has been made a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) for services to Television.

I'm sorry, but that's just not good enough. If we're still going in for all this silly nonsense with daft titles in the 21st century, then Tom should at the very least be crowned King of England... better yet, King of Planet Earth... no, King of the Universe... no, King of the Multiverse!

In the last week we watched #DoctorWhoSurvival - the very last serial and the end of the #ClassicEra. Over 10 years my wife and I have collected the entire series (from '63 to '89) on DVD and watched them religiously in chronological order. Finishing it was emotional!

And last night, we watched #DoctorWhoTheMovie - just to finally ice the cake and bid farewell 🫡

#TIL Tom Baker was offered the role of Gandalf in Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings, but chose instead to be in the famously bad 2000 movie Dungeons and Dragons, so he could spend a few days filming in Prague instead of more than a year filming in Aotearoa;
