Tom Baker on Jackanory 1985

[DoctorWho50Years]

so he can do jackanory but not the 5 doctors?! thanks tom...

[monkeysoulpoet]

We have nothing like this in Canada. What a fantastic show!

[bobillwho100]

@GayWorldOrder Why does everybody keep saying that Tom Baker dies in 2013. It's really sick and disrespectful.

[robuk1981]

I would love to see all of this again i was only 4 when i first saw it.

When little Britain was big

Thanks for posting. Shame no one seems to have the whole of this as it was my second ever favourite Jackanory.

Note the 2 second titles clip from "A very peculiar practice" at the end. :-) Another series I've been trying to get my hands on for years.

@m0rfans VPP is now available from BBC...got video copy 3 years ago. Wonderful, wonderful stuff...'Daker, Daker, I want you Daker...!'

Tom Baker has started recording audio plays as the 4th Doctor! He is back!

[DaibloDBZ]

Tom! What have they done to you?!

[Agui007]

Oh how I remember this from my school days. Tom was and still is wonderful.

[DARTHVADER2012able]

I am a big Tom Baker fan. Thanks for posting.

Tom Baker without his beautiful hair!

This particular hairstyle makes me think he should have joined the Clash. :D

[Tardisgirlfrance]

You wouldn't have anymore of this programe would you? I would have loved to see the whole thing. I'm a major Tom Baker junky, I know :-D

[indemnis4]

difficult to get past the hair!

[SpaceDan3000]

I have made something similar, Jam the monkey reads the frog and the witch. Have a look.

[TonyBananas101]

Good vid. However check 0:13 the roman numerals are MCMLXXXV meaning this was 1985.

[Peterdalek]

Thanks Tony, well noticed, now changed

[TonyBananas101]

No problem good clip man.

[Perranporth]

The Iron Man was a fascinating, Dahlesque sci-fi fantasy fairy tale written by the future Poet Laureate. Tom Baker was absolutely the right man to read it.

[barttheanorak]

By the time Tom read it, Ted had been Poet Laureate for around a year.

ok..................

[soulmanzrangerkind]

It kinda makes me sad...I would have loved to see him do a couple more years of Who. I am glad that he left on a high note though...I guess if he kept going there would have been an equal chance for the ratings to go either way...so it's good that he played it safe.

[niffler09]

the haircut is hideous but otherwise he looks a lot better than in season 18

[cheesein]

Wow. Besides his hair he really doesn't look any different 3 years later...he could have easily done another couple seasons of DW. People make it sound like he was too old to go on and with his illness and drinking problem in season 18 he definitely looked older, but upon seeing this its obvious it was just that that was making him look older and he could have easily done several more years of Who.

[StephenMABull]

Ah, yes. The 'triangular skinhead' years. That came as quite a shock after Tom's previous head full of curly locks.

I once had the great pleasure of meeting Tom Baker. A fine fellow.

[nyssa7]

What is up with Tom's hair?

[Lab355]

After doctor who he wanted to get away from the image of the doctor, and i think you'll agree it worked.
