The Fourth Doctor
Happy 80th Birthday to the legend that is Tom Baker, who played the Fourth Doctor from 1974 – 1981.
I think for many whovians, Tom Baker is “America’s Doctor” because it was his storylines that were shown on PBS here in the States and they seem to the the most memorable. His appearance in the 50th Anniversary episode was a very welcome site.
Soon, we will find out who will be joining these men in playing “The Doctor” on “Doctor Who”. There is buzz all over the world and in media that is just picking up on the story. NPR and CNN have both had mentions of “Doctor Who” and who will get to occupy the TARDIS. Its going to be an exciting time around the world for our fandom.
May The Fourth (Doctor) Be With You!
