Tom Baker in the TimesBookmark and Share

Tuesday, 4 May 2004 - Reported by Shaun Lyon
Tom Baker spoke to this week's Radio Times about his life, Doctor Who and the future of the show. Said the Radio Times about the fourth Doctor: "The hair may be greyer and the girth slightly wider, but the face is unmistakeably that of Tom Baker. And the much-loved actor is due to rematerialise on our screens this autumn, not as Doctor Who, but as Donald McDonald - a long-lost son from Monarch of the Glen's Glenbogle." The article mentions that Baker, 70, lives with his wife in France, so he'll be renting a flat in Kinguisee until "Glen" filming ends in September. But, says the article, self-catering isn't one of his talents. "I have a girl who comes in, but I can't ask her to cook for me. So the evenings tend to be a microwaved snack and a cold, strong beer." He also offered good wishes to new Doc Christopher Eccleston (seereport on TV news page). (Thanks to Paul Hayes)
