@martythetickler tom baker is a british actor most famous for having played the fourth incarnation of the doctor in british sci-fi programme doctor who
everytime i watch this awesome episode i cant believe not one of them mentions that not only does Chris Addison clearly look like Tom Baker as Doctor Who BUT his attire is clearly that of the Doctor as well.
Im hoping one day i'll watch this and one of them will mention it , what do you think are my chances?
I think I have figured out why this sort of show wouldn't fly in the U.S. It would require too many politicians to reveal the real self in front of the media as well as let someone take the mickey out of them. What say you?
"I used to be Jon Pertwee" is one of the greatest quotes ever. I still can't decide whether Tom Baker or Brian Blessed is my favourite guest host though.
You don't think he's an insufferable little shit on The Thick of It? Like when he starts punning about that woman's dead husband? His doppelgänger on In the Loop, shags around, leaks that paper and then tries to get anyone else fired for it.
although i have to admit i dont remember alot of the tom baker era, only snipets of giant rats and jelly babies, he is my favourite ACTOR to have taken on the doctor role. he's just so...good at almost everything he does. if i met him im afraid i might faint, as i think everyone watching this would do
@SamGuitarTunes Provided you didn't want more than eleven episodes... better idea, have a new Doctor Who each week determined by who hosted HIGNFY the previous week - all adds to the fun!
@diefortacos I second that, don't get me wrong, i loved this episode with Tom Baker, but i'm sorry, Ian Hilslop came across as a right miserable sod with an axe to grind here.
Why the thumbs down? That was a quote!! 'On Ian Hislop's team tonight, deputy leader of the LIbDems, described recently as Gorson Brown's most stringent critic....not while I'm alive, he ain't! Come on, sense of humor, sense of humor!!!
@diefortacos It's because most young people have this attitude of 'It's just a joke', as if it excuses the whole thing and makes it anything more than very well-paid bullying.
Man I have never watched Have I got News so much and laughed before Tom Baker went on it. I always giggle madly when TOm Baker is on anything so dad got quite annoyed and shouted at me. Parents...always crushing expression of feelings eh?
If I ever meet him, I'm going to beg him on my knees to say, "would you like a jelly baby?"
