Talk:Christopher Baker

"Member of production team in the 1970s"
That's in the lead graf, but it's a little vague. I've seen the claim on some fan sites, and even IMDb, that he was a production assistant, but he's never credited that way. His name doesn't appear in The Fourth Doctor Handbook. Anyone got any substantial reference works saying what he did, and, preferably for which serials?

 * He wasn't, and I've now reworded it. Chris worked in the BBC at the time as a production assistant and director within the Plays department. Nothing remotely related to Who. He was in the Morbius montage, not because he was a team member but instead that he was the only BBC staffer that volunteered when Hinchcliffe had put out a call for people - through Carol Wiseman, the real production assistant for Brain of Morbius.


 * The Plays department offices were close to the Dr Who offices. I'm guessing the misconception came about due to conflation of Carol's role and Chris' volunteering. All of this is attested to within the BBC in-house magazine, Ariel, issue of Nov 19 1975. Obviously, such a piece cannot be posted here due to the issues of licensing and the obvious need to not tie the Wiki in such matters... but if there is any skepticism on the above (which I would understand given the difficulties of independently locating in-house material), I can happily address them to any concerned parties outwith the Wiki.
