Tom Baker on QVC - February 2001 - part 1 of 2

Tom Baker's guest appearance on the UK version of the QVC home-shopping network in February 2001, during an evening featuring "Doctor Who" memorabilia.

I've gotten rid of most of the tat-selling bits, and kept it to just the interesting parts with Tom Baker talking Who. In this clip Tom discusses being put in a museum, working for "Doctor Who" fans, the infamous Tom Baker Undies, the incompetence of the BBC, the origin of his Doctor's trademark jellybabies, being entertained by dead actors, his hope for coming back as the Master, the reason he wasn't participating in the new Doctor Who audio plays, and how playing the Doctor doesn't require acting.

Historian's note: this took place at about the midpoint of the gap between the 1996 Fox TV movie and the 2005 "Doctor Who" revival.

Special thanks to the mysterious unnamed person who originally recorded the entire broadcast and posted it to the Internet years ago.
