A Review by Stuart Gutteridge 10/1/03
"The Doctor will never change. He may grow old and fade away, but he will always be the same... so the fun is - how do you colour that?"I strongly suspect that Tom himself had some input into the questions asked, in this interview as it is a bit deeper, than the usual "what is your favourite story?" type of fare. Instead Tom discusses the input he had when it comes to rehearsing, the lack of imagination in Doctor Who (as he puts it, there are only so many different ways you can run up and down a corridor.) It barely scratches the surface when touching upon Tom Baker the man however; his gratitude for the role of The Doctor is obvious, as are his beliefs about the character, but in all honesty his autobiography proves more rewarding on the whole. Filmed at the location used for The Android Invasion, this adds to the atmosphere of the tape, although a longer interview would have been more pleasing to this fan.
