I used to watch the Tom Baker ones in the Junior Common Room every Saturday with my girlfriend, who was a big fan! Pyramids of Mars is one of my favourites! Looking forward to seeing the Daleks, although good luck in painting them!legatus hedliushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17078980742683576345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8316437260668122878.post-82323539724906172542014-11-25T15:47:55.664+00:002014-11-25T15:47:55.664+00:00I've always loved Tom Baker's Doctor, thou...I've always loved Tom Baker's Doctor, though I confess my favourite is Peter Davison's, as I was a young and callow grad student in the Davison era and some said resembled him a bit.
