Tom Baker (Earth-33⅓)

Tom Baker played the Fourth Doctor.

In 1974, he auditioned for the role and later got the part. (NOTVALID: Ever Wondered What Happened At.. The Auditions For The Seven Doctors?)

According to another account, he got the part after writing a polite letter to the BBC asking for an acting job. The following day, he wrote a letter to Mr Cadbury asking for a big castle made out of chocolate. (NOTVALID: Doctor Whoah! 410)

His casting led to all scripts being discarded and thrown out of the windows; as a Cyberman told confused Zygon who were both observing the spectacle outside the BBC Television Centre, "We don't need them anymore - Tom Baker's the new Doctor". In 1981, he was succeeded in the role by Peter Davison. (NOTVALID: Ever Wondered What Happened At.. The Auditions For The Seven Doctors?)

John Nathan-Turner once congratulated Baker on nicely underplaying a scene. This was considered an "unlikely" event in the wider history of Doctor Who. (NOTVALID: Doctor Who? 203)

Nathan-Turner later informed him that the budget for one of his stories had been cut by upstairs, leading to Logopolis hurriedly being converted into Legopolis. After Nathan-Turner showed him the half-constructed LEGO set, Baker was visibly upset. (NOTVALID: Doctor Who? 185)

In 1993, an argument erupted between himself, Jon Pertwee, Peter Davison, Colin Baker and Sylvester McCoy over the size of his part in The Dark Dimension, which resulted in its cancellation. (NOTVALID: Doctor Whoah! 379)

In October 2007, Baker dressed up as the Fifth Doctor in an attempt to infiltrate the rehearsals for the Children in Need special. (NOTVALID: Doctor Whoah! 388)
